Casale-Ready Olive Estate

1.8 hectares 175 m² buildable Sea views Pre-vetted
Property Overview

1.8 Hectares of Olive Groves, Open Sky, and the Sea.

A panoramic agricultural plot of approximately 1.8 hectares (17,574 m²), primarily planted with established olive groves. The land includes a small rural warehouse of 53 m² and opens onto sweeping sea views in a setting of genuine Sicilian countryside calm — just outside the charming hilltop village of Pettineo.

Located only 6 km from the beautiful seaside town of Castel di Tusa, and approximately 20 minutes from Cefalù, this property sits in the prestigious Fiumara d'Arte district — a celebrated open-air museum recognized internationally for its land art installations. The nearby bay holds Blue Flag beach status, recognized for six consecutive years for its exceptional water quality and environmental integrity.

With up to 175 m² of buildable area, the property offers the rare ability to construct one or two new structures — transforming productive farmland into a working olive estate with a permanent foothold on the Sicilian coast between Palermo and Messina.
