A former medieval monastery in the heart of the Madonie Park

In the Castelbuono area, within the stunning Madonie Park, we are offering for sale a historic agritourism complex of exceptional charm and value, spanning approximately 165 hectares of land. The property originated as a 11th-12th-century Basilian monastery, founded around 1100 AD, and today represents a rare blend of history, nature, hospitality, and agricultural production.

Strategically located between the sea, the mountains, and the main tourist attractions of western Sicily, the property offers easy access to Cefalù, Finale di Pollina, Castelbuono, the Isnello Astronomical Observatory, and Piano Battaglia—an ideal destination for hiking, mountain sports, and nature tourism. The setting, nestled in a protected and authentic landscape, makes this property perfect for a high-end tourism project capable of attracting cultural, beach, nature, gastronomic, sports, and scientific tourism.

Accommodation facility, restaurant, spa, and restored historic spaces

The complex, already converted into an accommodation facility, spans approximately 1,850 square meters, plus over 600 square meters of covered areas, with ample grounds and functional outdoor spaces. The property features approximately 22 rooms, with a total capacity of about 70 guests, including double, triple, and quadruple rooms, as well as two spacious suites. The rooms retain the charm of Sicilian tradition, featuring historic furnishings, wrought-iron beds, antique furniture, and picturesque views of the valley, with distant sea views.

The restaurant, seating approximately 200 guests, includes an indoor dining room and a large veranda suitable for weddings, receptions, private events, film shoots, and television productions. The property also includes a wellness center with an indoor pool, outdoor pool, sensory experience area, massage area, beauty salon, and solarium. During the restoration, highly valuable historical elements were preserved, including the original functioning bell tower, the private chapel, the historic balcony, and the large stone courtyard—testaments to the complex’s ancient monastic heritage.

165 hectares, farm, livestock, and significant development potential

The estate encompasses significant agricultural and natural assets, including oak and holm oak forests, orchards with cherries, walnuts, and pears, an organic vegetable garden that also supplies the restaurant’s kitchen, cattle and goat herds, and a small modern and traditional dairy already in operation. This combination makes the property ideal for an integrated project combining hospitality, organic farming, food production, experiential tourism, and the promotion of the local area.

The development potential is vast: a five-star luxury resort, a charming agritourism property, an event venue, a wellness retreat, an organic farm, wine production, expansion of the livestock operations, and enhancement of the dairy with opportunities for direct sales, a short supply chain, and exports. The property’s reputation, having already been used for photography, film, and television productions, adds further value to the estate. A rare and highly prestigious investment, ideal for hotel groups, international investors, hospitality operators, advanced agricultural enterprises, or entities interested in developing an exclusive project in the authentic heart of Sicily.

Un ex monastero medievale nel cuore del Parco delle Madonie

Nel territorio di Castelbuono, all’interno del meraviglioso Parco delle Madonie, proponiamo in vendita un complesso storico-agrituristico di eccezionale fascino e valore, esteso su circa 165 ettari di terreno. La proprietà nasce come monastero basiliano dell’XI-XII secolo, fondato a partire dal 1100 d. C., e rappresenta oggi una rara combinazione tra storia, natura, ospitalità e produzione agricola.

Situata in posizione strategica tra mare, montagna e principali attrazioni turistiche della Sicilia occidentale, la struttura permette di raggiungere facilmente Cefalù, Finale di Pollina, Castelbuono, l’Osservatorio Astronomico di Isnello e Piano Battaglia, meta ideale per trekking, sport montani e turismo naturalistico. Il contesto, immerso in un paesaggio protetto e autentico, rende questa proprietà perfetta per un progetto turistico di alto livello, capace di intercettare turismo culturale, balneare, naturalistico, gastronomico, sportivo e scientifico.

Struttura ricettiva, ristorante, SPA e ambienti storici restaurati

Il complesso, già trasformato in struttura ricettiva, si sviluppa su circa 1.850 mq, oltre a più di 600 mq di tettoie, con ampie aree pertinenziali e spazi esterni funzionali. La struttura dispone di circa 22 camere, con una capacità complessiva di circa 70 ospiti, tra camere doppie, triple, quadruple e due suite di ampia metratura. Gli ambienti conservano il fascino della tradizione siciliana, con arredi storici, letti in ferro battuto, mobili antichi e affacci suggestivi sulla vallata, con vista mare a distanza.

Il ristorante, con circa 200 coperti, comprende una sala interna e una grande veranda utilizzabile per matrimoni, ricevimenti, eventi privati, attività cinematografiche e produzioni televisive. La proprietà include inoltre un centro benessere con piscina interna, piscina esterna, percorso emozionale, area massaggi, centro estetico e solarium. Durante il restauro sono stati preservati elementi storici di grande pregio, tra cui il campanile originale funzionante, la chiesa privata, il balcone storico e l’ampio piazzale in pietra, testimonianze dell’antica identità monastica del complesso.

165 ettari, azienda agricola, allevamento e grande potenziale di sviluppo

La tenuta comprende un importante patrimonio agricolo e naturale, con boschi di querce e lecci, frutteti con ciliegie, noci e pere, orto biologico destinato anche alla cucina del ristorante, allevamento bovino e caprino e un piccolo caseificio moderno e tradizionale già operativo. Questa combinazione rende la proprietà ideale per un progetto integrato di ospitalità, agricoltura biologica, produzione alimentare, turismo esperienziale e valorizzazione del territorio.

Le potenzialità di sviluppo sono molteplici: resort di lusso a cinque stelle, agriturismo di charme, struttura per eventi, retreat benessere, azienda agricola biologica, produzione vinicola, ampliamento dell’allevamento e potenziamento del caseificio con possibilità di vendita diretta, filiera corta ed export. La notorietà della struttura, già utilizzata per produzioni fotografiche, cinematografiche e televisive, aggiunge ulteriore valore alla proprietà. Un investimento raro e di grande prestigio, ideale per gruppi alberghieri, investitori internazionali, operatori hospitality, aziende agricole evolute o realtà interessate a sviluppare un progetto esclusivo nel cuore autentico della Sicilia.
