Description
Immersed in the lush hilly vegetation of the northern area of Messina, in the Sperone area, we present a property of rare beauty and high historical-architectural and naturalistic interest. This extraordinary period villa, dating back to the early 20th century, represents a significant example of an elegant Sicilian suburban residence, surrounded by a centuries-old park with over 200 plant species, a true Eden of biodiversity.
Crossing the convenient driveway, you are welcomed by an atmosphere of quiet and timeless beauty.
The volumetric layout of the villa stands out for its functionality and harmony. Almost all of the rooms, including the imposing triple living room, are on the ground floor and open onto the large panoramic terrace, raised above the garden. Here you can enjoy the view of the park and delightful glimpses of the intense blue of the sea on the horizon.
The ground floor also houses the eat-in kitchen, 6 additional rooms including four bedrooms and two studies with cross-vaulted ceilings, three bathrooms, hallways, corridors and utility/storage rooms. Going up to the first floor, in the characteristic turret, a typical element of the Art Nouveau period, there is an intimate separate room with access to a panoramic crenellated terrace, perfect for relaxing getaways with a breathtaking view and suitable for hosting a jacuzzi with private solarium.
The external facades are embellished with refined decorative terracotta tiles with Sicilian floral motifs, which underline the unique character and attention to detail of the period, as well as the style of the balustrades. The distinctive element of the villa is certainly the magnificent double-flight staircase, typical of the stately homes built between the 19th and 20th centuries, with a green marble basin in the center, with its fountain, which could be converted into a body of water usable during the mild spring or summer days.
Outside, the gardens are truly enchanting, the ramps present, designed to help people with motor difficulties, lead us to an area equipped with an outdoor kitchen and professional ovens, equipped with an infinite stone table ready to accommodate many diners or perhaps the students of a cooking school.
A romantic pergola of inebriating wisteria leads us to enchanting ponds populated by turtles and goldfish, a corner of paradise where time seems to slow down with the harmonious sound that flows from the statues of the water-carrying Venuses that accompany us on the path.
The property also offers different environments to customize according to your needs, ideal for cultivating hobbies or more simply as storage. Could the old cistern become a private spa for your daily well-being or a perfect cellar for your most beloved wines? There are many spaces to reinvent.
A few minutes from the splendid beaches of Torre Faro and Mortelle, from the village of Ganzirri and from the beaches of the Messina Riviera (the city centre is only 15-20 minutes away), the Investment Potential of this villa is indisputably high:
This property lends itself not only as a prestigious private residence, but also as a venue for high-level activities. Some of you may find it suitable as a luxury residence for the elderly, thanks to a serene and stimulating environment surrounded by nature; others will see it as the ideal venue for cultural, musical and artistic associations, thanks to the large halls, terraces and suggestive Art Nouveau paths perfect for exhibition routes and performances; others still will think of creating a boutique hotel or a B&B thanks to the possibility of increasing the number of services but above all to the proximity to the rapidly expanding university and hospital centre; Those who care about the fun of adults and children in the midst of nature will imagine an educational farm or agritourism thanks to the distribution of the rooms all on one floor and the wonderful garden. For these purposes it is useful to know that there is the possibility of also purchasing a plot of land in the immediate vicinity, with appraisal building possibilities but still ideal as additional parking or for the development of future projects (e.g. photovoltaic), crops, housing any farm animals.
Do not miss this early 20th century residence in the hilly area of Sperone, Messina Nord, with a panoramic view of the sea and surrounded by greenery. It is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Sicilian history, an oasis of peace and beauty a few steps from the sea and the city.
