With a breathtaking view of Etna, in front of the Nebrodi mountains stands a historic Villa of the 19th century of about 1400 square meters. including the accessory parts (terrace and porches)

The property with adjoining courtyard, free from woodland constraints, is located at about 740 meters above sea level and has a clear 360 ° view; the area surrounding the Villa, of hectares 01.52.40, is from the planimetric-altimetric point of view quite flat with olive trees, oaks and an avenue of centuries-old cypresses, furthermore there are three wells and a 63 square meter outbuilding already renovated.

The villa with two terraces in perfect 19th century Sicilian style (one of which has been dismantled because it is being renovated) needs to be restored but is in excellent static conditions, inside the attics and the staircase have been redone and the roof has been made safe (compared to what can be seen in the video) the facade of the villa is full of friezes, capitals and carved columns (the missing ones have all been redone and preserved)

It was a state-owned city in about 1200, awarded various titles and privileges by Frederick II of Swabia; it was also visited by Charles V in 1515 and the carved wooden throne where Charles V sat during the assembly in the public square is still preserved in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

In its territory there are two oriented nature reserves: Monte Campanito-Sambughetti with two natural lakes where the Duckweed grows,

and the Monte Altesina reserve, the highest mountain of the Erei chain from which in the year 1000 the Arabs divided Sicily into three valleys.

On this mountain an archaeological excavation project has been started (as it is already a very important archaeological site) with the patronage of the University of Paris.

In addition, there is the possibility of purchasing another 74,800 square meters of land bordering the property and thus having a single lot of land merged.
