Apartment for sale
Valderice, Trapani, Sicily, Italy
Full Description
A historic ruin on almost 1.2 hectares of land, Casale Torrazza is found in the hills of Trapani province, with views towards Mount Erice and the surrounding countryside.
A Two-Storey Ruin, Ready to Restore
The ruins occupy the highest point of the plot across two storeys, with much of the perimeter walling still standing, in places close to four metres high, hinting at how large and airy the original rooms once were. Two sections of the building are registered for habitable use, with a combined floor area of around 420 square metres between them.
One of the two current owners is an architect and has already lodged the initial application with Sicily's heritage authority, which should save a buyer some of the usual wait before building work can start. A private well on the land supplies water independently of the mains, and the pending application already includes provision for a swimming pool.
In the Hills of Trapani Province
The property looks out over vineyards, olive groves and old bagli scattered through the hills of Trapani province, with the hilltop town of Erice above and the city of Trapani sixteen kilometres away. San Vito lo Capo's beach is around twenty kilometres and half an hour by car, and Trapani's airport is a similar distance, with Palermo's around ninety minutes further along the coast.
A Restoration Ready to Begin
Depending on your design choices and the materials you want to use, restoring a property like this typically costs somewhere between €1,500 and €3,000 per square metre. Of course, this is on top of the purchase price, but our project management service can offer local know-how and negotiation skills to guarantee the best possible return for your money. We would take care of the whole process from planning permission to completion, working alongside the architect who has already begun the paperwork here.
Whether you picture the final result as a single expansive home or a handful of holiday apartments, this would make a spectacular and potentially cost-effective entry into the Sicilian property market
