Masseria Erice

Of the baroque palaces in the historic center of Trapani to the celebrated nature reserves of Monte Cofano and Lo Zingaro, to the coral flecked beaches of San Vito Lo Capo to Castellammare, it is the antique, mythological town of Erice that dominates the landscapes, rising 750 mts from sea level into the clouds and imagination. Viewed from Erice, immersed in the rural landscape of grain and vineyards, rich in natural beauty, history and culture are splendid farmhouses and manor houses - renovated or to be restored -which become unique investment opportunities for those who want to own property away from the maddening crowds. Since the 32nd America’s Cup hosted in Trapani in 2005, the Northwest corner of Sicily has shown itself to be increasingly capable of attracting and satisfying qualified tourist flows. Large, available properties with sea views are increasingly rare.

Just below Erice, we offer for sale an important and exclusive real estate complex with unparalleled sea and mountain views, a hidden corner of paradise that possesses nearly an entire valley.
