Traditional Italian Casale With Internal Courtyard

Built in the mid-1800s, this evocative old farmhouse has recently undergone a complete restoration. It boasts a living area of 430 square meters alongside a generous courtyard and a garden nestled under a protective rock at the back - from the top of which one can view the sea at the horizon -, totaling 560 square meters. The estate also includes 1.5 hectares of land with the possibility of purchansing other 15 hectares cultivated with prickly pears.

Conveniently located about 5 kilometers from the towns of Roccapalumba and Alia, the property is just 800 meters from the Roccapalumba/Alia train station. Frequent trains connect you to Palermo and Agrigento in just about 30 min, facilitating easy access from Palermo’s airport only 30 min away. You can reach the beaches in less than an hour (ca 30 km from the property), while the nearby towns of Roccapalumba and Alia provide all essential amenities. The delightful Masseria “Acque di Palermo,” featuring a restaurant, is 500 meters away.

Upon entering the property, you will be captivated by the characteristic rock formation that seems to lean over the estate protectively. The stone-covered courtyard, accessible through the main gate, offers a sense of reservedness and tranquility.

The farmhouse, meticulously restored by its architect owner for personal use, ensures the use of quality materials and craftsmanship. The 430-square-meter living space comprises 11 rooms and three bathrooms, all accessible from the inside, except the lovely one with an ensuite bathroom on top of the courtyard entrance, which is reached by a gorgeous outside stair. Some rooms feature the rock integrated into their walls, adding a unique touch of protective rootedness. Original features have been beautifully preserved, like the old feed mangers in former stable rooms.

Surrounded by an agricultural landscape with rolling hills and ever-changing colors, the area is known for its warm and generous locals. Less than half an hour away, the medieval mountain town of Caccamo hosts a community of English and American residents for those seeking a touch of English culture to be experience in the neighborhood.

This property invites you to visit and experience its timeless allure firsthand.
