Sicily, Catania, Mascalucia, Italy

Full of charm and character is this beautiful historical stone farmhouse encompassing 4 independent units with garden, ideally located near all amenities in the heart of Mascalucia.

The residential units comprising this property offering are four, with 2 of them being renovated, as follows:

Unit No. 1 is a property of remarkable virtues, constructed between 1781 and 1831. The finishes are of high quality, starting from the frescoes on the walls and ceilings, presumably attributed to the master Scalia, to the flooring in parquet, terracotta, and ceramics (flooring dating back to the time of construction of the property).

The skilfull and impeccable renovation carried out by the owner successfully combines a taste for the antique with the introduction of modern technological systems such as underfloor heating and cooling, ensuring not only remarkable comfort but also preserving the magic of the place.

Additionally, a sound system and surveillance cameras are installed in all rooms.

Internally, the property welcomes one with an entrance leading to a representative area on the right, comprising spacious living rooms where the old alcoves are still visible, a reading area, a study area, and also to the vibrant area of the house with kitchen and bathrooms, a sleeping area with spacious and well-distributed rooms.

Unit No. 2 is a property of good craftsmanship, also constructed between 1781 and 1831, with excellent contemporary finishes. The heating and cooling system is autonomous but not underfloor.

Externally, the property in lava stone features a large living area, a bathroom, and bedrooms, all framed in a rustic environment with exposed beams. It also has a double entrance, one from the main door and the other from a side street, allowing complete independence.

Unit No. 3 is situated at the entrance and in need of complete renovation, consisting of two large loftable rooms and a large roof terrace in front of the entrance door.

Unit No. 4 is an above-ground cellar that can be lofted and also has access from a side street, therefore independent.

The property currently only has external walls that indicate the old volume measured at 124m2. With the application of the so-called 'Piano Casa', which allows for the use of bio-building elements and permits an increase of up to 35% in case of renovation interventions, it could allow for a total construction of 247m2.

Completing the offer, in addition to the internal courtyard overlooking which three of the aforementioned units are, picturesque with its lava stone well and bricks, perfectly usable for rainwater collection, there is an adjacent buildable land extending approximately 700m2, according to the urban planning tool in force in the Municipality of Mascalucia, in zone B2 - completion with intensive construction.

Zone B2, from an urban planning point of view, is the most valuable area. It allows for direct construction as it already has primary and secondary urbanisation works. Furthermore, it has a land buildability index of 3 mc/m2, thus allowing for a significant maximum buildable volume. It is clear that these areas are of high value both for their considerable buildability and their rarity.

This property complex is perfectly suitable as a tourist accommodation facility, due to its ample spaces, the history you can breathe inside, and the four distinct units, but it is also suitable for various family groups.
