Vrijstaande woning in Capo D'Orlando

Casa Guido - Capo d'Orlando200m above sea level on the side of a steep hill, Casa Guido offers one of the best sea views you could hope to find. The green slopes of the Nebrodi Park drop dramatically down to the crystal-clear Tyrrhenian Sea below, and the local beach is in full view. The grounds of this characterful property offer seclusion, abundant nature and phenomenal scenery.OVER 140m2 of indoor living spaceThe house has six rooms, divided at present between three distinct units, each with their own front door. Downstairs, one of these is a kitchen with a walk-in larder and a permanent wood-fired oven that you'll certainly want to find a way to retain. The next is a pair of rooms alongside this, the first of which opens directly onto the sea-view patio.Upstairs, three rooms of around 15m2 apiece are completed by a small bathroom big enough for a shower. Two of the rooms have deep balconies from which you can take in the best sea views on the property.A renovation project with incredible potentialSignificant renovation work will be needed, beginning with an overhaul of both Casa Guido's wiring and its plumbing. Electricity is already present, but you may want to lay pipes that will connect it to the municipal water and sewage mains, each around 30m from the property.It will be necessary to spend some money on the plastering and the exteriors, as well as on the 3,000m2 of gardens, which have the potential to be a beautiful space, with olive and lemon trees and of course those great panoramic views.You may also wish to add an internal staircase and a doorway between the ground floor spaces, in order to make your new purchase a bit more user-friendly. The end result, however, would be well worth the expenditure: a three-bedroom family home with over 140m2 of internal space and an unbeatable scenic location.The best of sicily's nature and community at your fingertipsThe beach that you can see from the edge of the plot is reachable in five minutes by car down a winding road. A similar journey along the coast brings you into the town of Capo d'Orlando.This is a beautiful seafront community and a well-managed town on the rise. If you haven't seen photos of the the new marina, built in 2017, they're really worth seeking out. It's not only a sign of the region's deep connection to the sea, but also of the outward-looking local administrations of the Nebrodi region.For a full description of the property please visit our website
