Large estate on the slopes of Mount Etna

The property is located in the territory of Francavilla di Sicilia, a picturesque place just a few kilometres from the most important wineries in the Etna Doc area, the small volcano of Mojo Alcantara and the Alcantara river, which marks the border with Castiglione di Sicilia. The estate is immersed in nature and covers approximately ten hectares on a hilly area cultivated mainly with olive trees, while the upper part is protected by a grove of oaks and tall trees. The remaining part of the land is currently uncultivated, with the possibility of integrating new crops. The area is rich in water and has several springs for supply. In the past, the land was mostly cultivated as a vineyard, and this is demonstrated by the small millstone, now ruined, that is in the group of buildings that make up the property, located in the most panoramic part of the estate, from which there is a wonderful view of Etna and the green valley. The main body is spread over two levels with a surface area of approximately 570 square metres and includes warehouses and rooms for agricultural use on the ground floor and three small flats, two of which are on the upper floor. The large outdoor courtyard is enriched by a centuries-old tree, which provides a shady area during the hot summer days. The second building of approximately 140 sqm is located not far from the first and includes an old church, of which only a few elements are preserved. The condition of the structures is in fact very old and all the buildings are in need of major renovation. Thanks to their strategic location in this pleasant context immersed in the countryside, the property is ideal for conversion into accommodation, to enjoy moments of absolute relax.
