In the most suggestive section of the southeastern coast of Sicily, at the gates of Ispica, charming waterfront villa for sale, immersed in a unique natural context, where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea blend with those of the Ionian Sea.

The guesthouses (110 m² – 1,184 ft²) host additional rooms, all designed to ensure independence and privacy. In particular, one of the annexes houses two double bedrooms, each with autonomous access, en-suite bathroom, and shaded private terrace; another outbuilding hosts a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and exclusive sea view terrace.

Set across 10 hectares of picturesque countryside in southern Sicily, this remarkable estate combines refined living with a luxury restored villa, advanced winemaking infrastructure, and sweeping panoramic views. Of the total land, 7 hectares are cultivated with vines, offering both a luxurious private retreat and a thriving wine business with an estimated production capacity of up to 60,000 bottles per year.

This property represents a unique opportunity to own a fully integrated vineyard estate that unites luxury living, architectural elegance, and high-quality wine production. It is equally suited as a private residence, a boutique winery, or a hospitality venture in one of Italy’s most desirable wine regions.

VINEYARDS AND WINERY

At the heart of the estate lies a fully equipped, state-of-the-art winemaking facility. The wine press house is fitted with 15 modern fermentation tanks and advanced refrigeration systems, alongside a dedicated barrique cellar, laboratory, and storage areas. A beautifully designed tasting room, incorporating historic architectural elements, offers an inviting space to showcase the estate’s wines. Additional structures include a warehouse, machinery barn, garages, and office spaces, ensuring the smooth operation of both agricultural and hospitality activities.

The vineyard itself is planted with a carefully selected mix of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Grillo. Managed according to organic, sustainable, and regenerative principles, the estate benefits from one of the most advanced irrigation and fertilization systems in Europe, allowing precise monitoring of soil and climate conditions to maintain optimal vineyard health.

This resort is a breathtaking historical dwelling dating back to the year 1000, majestically located between Siena and Monteriggioni. This prestigious property represents an invaluable resource for the territory, offering the impression of being immersed in a natural park where human architecture and nature seamlessly blend. The estate encompasses a total of 51.7 hectares, featuring roughly 2.0 hectares of fenced grounds and 49 hectares of lush woodland. Access to the property is gained via an ancient road accredited as part of the complex network of the Via Francigena.

The complex underwent a meticulous renovation between 2007 and 2013 with the goal of creating a high-quality structure that fully integrates into its unique environmental context. The heart of the residence is a stunning internal courtyard that features a perfectly functional wood-burning oven and provides access to the primary living quarters. Accommodations consist of eight elegant suites that combine historical charm with modern comfort, featuring stone and brick walls, wooden beamed ceilings, and country-chic furnishings. These include four standard suites, two luxury suites equipped with fireplaces, and two expansive prestige suites that offer two bathrooms each. Additionally, a separate autonomous villa dominates the property, offering a large living room with a fireplace on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the upper level.

The estate is fully equipped for luxury hospitality and exclusive events, boasting a panoramic 10 × 6 m swimming pool and terrace that offer breathtaking views of Siena and the surrounding hills. Culinary excellence is found at the internal restaurant which serves traditional Tuscan dishes using seasonal ingredients from the property’s own organic garden. For wellness, the SPA has been masterfully carved into the historic dungeons, providing an indoor heated pool with hydromassage, a sauna, a Turkish bath, and emotional showers. Event capabilities are anchored by the eventhall, a structure capable of hosting 120 people, with approved plans already in place to replace it with a sophisticated glass and metal structure to further enhance the landscape.

Set in a panoramicposition on a half-hill, in a secluded and completely quiet setting, this elegant 273-m² independent villa combines contemporary comfort and energy efficiency. Built in 2009 and significantly renovated in 2022, the property stands out for bright, well-distributed rooms designed to offer a high level of living quality.

The main residence, entirely on the ground floor, welcomes you with an entrance leading to a large living room enhanced by a fireplace, the convivial hub of the house. The eat-in and functional kitchen adjoins the sleeping area, which includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All main rooms have direct access to the garden, creating a pleasant continuity between indoors and outdoors.

The basement offers generous and versatile spaces, including a rustic sitting space, a garage, and additional rooms in builder’s finish but already prepared, ideal for customization according to one’s needs. The independent access further enhances its functionality.

From a system perspective, the villa is equipped with state-of-the-art solutions: volumetric and perimeter alarm system with sensors on windows and infrared protection, surveillance cameras, photovoltaic system of 6 kW with 12 kWh accumulation batteries, as well as a solar thermal system with a 200-liter boiler.

In a panoramic position with view over the town of Umbertide, farmhouse to be restored with annex and land. The property (438 m²) needs consolidation and modernization work but still has all the original finishes. The farmhouse currently houses 8 rooms, while the shed could be converted into a small guesthouse with 2 bedrooms. The 8.1 hectares of land include an olive grove and could accommodate a swimming pool.

The presence of numerous bedrooms, many of which with totally independent access, make the property very suitable for use as an accommodation business, not to mention its very convenient location close to a town.

The services are all available in Umbertide (5km; 10') but the proximity to the junction of the E45 motorway makes it possible to reach the historic towns of Umbria in less than an hour (Gubbio, Città di Castello, Perugia, Assisi, Todi...).

In a very panoramic and quiet location in the Casentino mountains, not far from Talla, rural hamlet to be restored with 112.2 hectares of land for sale. The buildings are located on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of two streams, and the original nucleus of the settlement most likely dates back to the 7th century, when the small church was built: the area was part of the Byzantine possessions, a last offshoot of the so-called “Byzantine corridor” that connected Ravenna to Rome, and the Greek influence on the church is evident. The road leading up to the property is part of that connecting artery that once united the Cassia Vetus (nowadays the Setteponti Road) and the Flaminia Minor (then called Via Romea once it enters Emilia-Romagna). From the property, Mount Penna, on which stands the Franciscan hermitage of La Verna, can be seen in the distance.

The buildings (more than 2,200 m² in total) were later added over the centuries and eventually encompassed what was most likely a small castle placed to defend the road between Casentino and Valdarno. The structure of the hamlet is oriented east-to-west so as to shelter the buildings from the cold winds from the north and denotes great attention to detail.

Importantly, the hamlet was inhabited until relatively recently: sixty people still lived there in the 1970s. One of the features that make the property very interesting is the presence of a virtually endless supply of water thanks to a very rich natural spring that has always bubbled up in the upper part of the estate.

The estate stretches for a total of 112.2 hectares (277.2 acres): of these, most are covered by the typical Casentino woods (80.0 ha that also include a chestnut grove) while the remaining area is devoted to arable land (19.8 ha) and pastures (11.7 ha). The presence of a large amount of water, both from the spring and from the two streams, opens the way for multiple possibilities of use of the farm.
