3 Bed Townhouse for sale
Novara di Sicilia, Messina, Sicily, Italy
Full Description
In the heart of the enchanting medieval village of Novara di Sicily, in the charming San Antonio district, we offer for sale a property of approximately 191 sqm, a true journey through tradition, history, and timeless views, arranged over four levels.
On the ground floor, you are welcomed by a spacious room once used for the aging of the famous Maiorchino cheese, a true symbol of the town’s identity. It is from here that the tradition—now internationally renowned—of the Maiorchino games was born, during which, between January and February, wheels of cheese are rolled along the ancient stone streets of the village. A second room, even more evocative, features a natural rock embedded into the wall, a unique element that tells the story of the deep bond between the house and the land on which it stands.
The first floor offers three bedrooms and a bathroom, intimate and quiet spaces, ideal for hosting family and guests.
The second floor represents the convivial heart of the home: a kitchen with a wood-fired oven and fireplace, where the scents of the past seem to linger in the air, a large room perfect as a living area, an adjacent balcony, and access to a second bathroom.
The true gem is found on the third floor: a breathtaking panoramic terrace where the view opens onto a truly spectacular landscape. Behind you rise Rocca Salvatesta and Rocca Leone; to the left stands the historic Church of Sant’Antonio, dating back to 1600 A.D.; straight ahead, the river valley leads the eye toward the Sanctuary of Tindari. In the distance, the sea and the Aeolian Islands complete a picture so vivid it feels almost within reach.
The property requires renovation work, offering the opportunity to shape each space according to personal taste, enhancing the authentic charm of the structure. The reinforced concrete floor slabs are in excellent condition, while the roof, systems, and interior finishes need updating.
This is not just a house, but an experience—ideal for those dreaming of a retreat filled with soul, history, and unforgettable views.
