Villa in Sciacca, Agrigento

Villa Antonella - Sciacca With three independent homes and an olive grove, Villa Antonella occupies gated grounds in the coastal countryside of Maragani, a short drive west of Sciacca. It would suit an extended family, a group of friends or a holiday letting investment. Two Apartments, a Cottage and Shared Outdoor Spaces Around 200 square metres of living space are divided between a red-fronted villa, split into two apartments, and a separate white cottage. Each apartment has a kitchen-diner of about 16 square metres, two bedrooms, a bathroom and its own entrance and outdoor space, with double glazing, mosquito screens and air conditioning. The cottage adds an open-plan living room and kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom served by a 300-litre solar thermal system. Between the buildings, a 32 square metre communal kitchen with bathroom fronts a shaded veranda where all three households can eat together, and there is a 20 square metre garage plus parking in the paved courtyard. Solar Power and 22,000 Litres of Water Storage A 6 kW photovoltaic system with around 15 kWh of battery storage supplies all three homes, while mains water is backed by two cisterns totalling roughly 22,000 litres, a serious advantage through the Sicilian summer. Double glazing, shutters and mosquito screens keep the apartments comfortable in every season. Holiday Lettings or One Reunified Villa The sea is 350 metres away and the fenced grounds extend to about 1,700 square metres, with room for a pool in the olive grove subject to consent. As it stands the property can host several families at once, an ideal shape for holiday letting, with Selinunte under half an hour away and Agrigento's Valley of the Temples about an hour and a quarter. The floor plans identify the partition wall dividing the main villa, so a buyer could also recreate a single four-bedroom home with a guest annexe. The price takes account of the work still to do, leaving room in a sensible budget for the transformation. Contact us for plans, photographs and a viewing.
