With stunning views this property, which was once a farm, would make an ideal family home with a separate apartment that could also be utilised as required.
The property is situated in the Comune of San Lucido (CS) approx 50 mins (57km) drive north of Lamezia airport and approx. 15 mins (9km) from the train station at Paola.
The building, which does require renovation was once an integral part of a farm. It stands in an elevated hilly area above the town of San Lucido that allow it splendid view of the sea, which on clear days allows you to see Capo Palinuro to the north and the Aeolian Islands, Etna and the Sicilian coast to south.
Set in this peaceful location, the building has a central nucleus dating back to the 1920s and retains floors, ceilings with wooden beams of the time. Subsequent extensions dating back to the 1960s and 1970s had added various rooms that are large and bright, some communicating with each other.
The building of approx. 400sqm is divided between a ground floor and a first floor.
The ground floor is made up of 3 rooms, plus a kitchen and a bathroom, a garage, a warehouse and a cellar mostly with original materials of the time.
The first floor, however, is made up of 2 independent apartments as follows:
a) An apartment, south side, dating back to the 1960s, is composed of three rooms (kitchen and bathroom) with original floors, tiles and bathroom fixtures.
b) An apartment, north side, dating back to the 1970s, is composed of three rooms (bathroom and kitchen) with original floors, tiles and sanitary fixtures.
The building is complete with an attic with the typical Mediterranean tiled roof supported by wooden beams, partly dating back to the time of construction. Adjacent to the attic, there is a large panoramic terrace with sea/mountain views.
There are three balconies overlooking the sea, a large courtyard, a garden, with land and accompanied by outbuildings: stables, a chicken coop, two pigsties, a room for making bread (oven)
Located on the east side of the building is approximately 12,000sqm of flat irrigated and tree-lined land, there is an olive grove (with some centuries-old trees), around thirty fig trees (the local variety “dottato” used for typical products such as “crosses”, chocolate fig, etc.). There are also various rows of vines to produce table and wine grapes, as well as various fruit trees (pears, plums, peaches, apricots, quinces and various citrus fruits, etc.).
The land, currently in production for cereal harvesting, is also suitable to produce vegetables and fodder for livestock.
Given the characteristics described above, the land and building are well suited for both residential and agricultural-commercial use.
