Description
Guidobaldi Luxury Properties proposes this exclusive solution, with astonishing view on the sea and surrounded by a garden of approximately 3,150 sqm.
This elegant villa is located in Capo d'Armi, a rocky promontory overlooking the Ionian Sea, which marks the south-eastern border of the Strait of Messina. Set in the picturesque Lazzàro, a district of the charming hill town of Motta San Giovanni, this estate offers a unique panoramic view that goes from Sicily with the majestic Mount Etna to the magnificence of the Strait of Messina, only 16 km from the Airport.
The villa is accessible through a gate that opens onto a panoramic widening of the SS 106 Ionica.
The villa underwent a radical renovation in 2018, which while preserving its original identity, has enriched it with all modern comforts. It is spread over two floors, where every room, including the kitchen, enjoys a spectacular view of the sea.
On the ground floor, the entrance on the north side leads to the living room and the joined dining room; from there the eat-in kitchen and a first bathroom with shower are accessible. A second entrance on the south side leads to the wooden staircase that goes up to the sleeping area.
The garden forms the edge of the entire rocky outcrop that, beyond the wrought-iron balustrades, descends perpendicularly to the sea (some sections of the railings in the villa are made of old bedheads that belonged to the owner's ancestors).
The villa is equipped with an automated irrigation system and a rainwater collection system, which irrigates the garden.
The beach is made up of smooth or slightly jagged white rock: the white stone wall that runs down from the edge of the garden perpendicularly descends to the sea bends with a 90-degree curve, gently dipping into it and taking on the colour of all shades of blue and violet.
The living room is equipped with a fireplace and has a fully-windowed sea-side wall; It also give access to a 30 sq.m. terrace with an astonishing view of the sea and the garden below which is accessible from both sides.
On the upper floor there is a second bathroom (also with shower) and three air-conditioned bedrooms: the master bedroom, the “sailors room" (also with a king-size bed) and the “flowers room"(equipped with a queen size bed and a single bed). The master bedroom and the “flowers room” have their respective sea-side walls fully glazed; from them there is access to another terrace of approx. 45 sq. m. with a view of the sea, the lounge terrace below, and the entire surrounding garden.
The garden - which surrounds the entire villa - is arranged in terraces held by mostly dry-stone walls (in the local dialect “armacère”) that support its nature (the “dry-stone wall” was listed as an immaterial heritage of humanity by Unesco in 2018).
A maze of steps, ladders, walkways and lanes intersect it in every part, opening up to panoramic viewpoints of incomparable beauty.
Comfortable seats made of stone or carved sinuously into the stonework enable one to admire the panorama of the Ionian Sea and, on the right, of eastern Sicily with the immense volcano Etna, which, in addition to its beautiful volcanic plume, often offers Strombolian eruptions visible even to the naked eye from every point of the villa.
The dance of sea currents means that there is sometimes sand consisting of tiny stones and sometimes white rocks.
Another highlight is its private beach, consisting of white rocks and crystal-clear water, ideal for swimming or snorkelling. Also within walking distance are the enchanting beaches of Lazzàro and Riace, famous for their natural beauty and seabed.
The charm of this residence is complemented by its history, which is rooted in a noble family tradition. Nino Tripodi, a famous politician and intellectual, together with his wife Titina Focà, contributed to the creation of this villa, which today represents a perfect blend of historical elegance and contemporary comfort.
Do not miss the opportunity to purchase this exclusive property, a corner of paradise suspended between sea, sky and history, ideal for those seeking a unique residence where luxury blends with unspoilt nature.
