Description
This property offers something for everyone. Whilst the main building dates back 400 years and was once part of a granary, it has been masterfully brought into the 21st century by a locally renowned architect, whose skill has fused modern design to a three storey, 12,000 square foot home in the form of terraces and skylights that quite literally flood the entire building with natural light. The expanse of the property facilitates a 50 foot swimming pool that is chlorine-free and runs entirely from solar supplied energy. A state of the art, regulation size Tennis Court is both self-draining and maintenance free. Clever lighting throughout the 2 tumoli mature garden and Tennis Court make this playground and retreat for both the day and night. There are three Courtyards and no fewer than six hideaway retreats within the shade of the garden or Terraces on all three levels of the property, meaning that everyone has a place to retreat to enjoy the serenity and peace of being set far from any noise or urban intrusion. There are four outdoor dining and entertaining areas, whilst indoors, the formal dining room seats fourteen guests comfortably an in sumptuous old-world charm. The dining table is itself a Billiards table that easily converts for yet more entertainment. A dedicated screening room seats six, all with electrically control reclining leather seats. The surround-sound can be amped up without being heard anywhere else in the house, since the walls are amongst the oldest in the property. A sixth downstairs bedroom with adjoining guest room, has been cleverly converted to incorporate a vast library, games room and adjoining Treatment/Massage room. The first floor, accessible via three separate stairways, is where three of the four functional bedrooms are situated. All are lavished in natural sunlight and generous ensuite bathrooms. The master bedroom features a large bath with open views across to Sicily. The largest of the outdoor terraces runs the entire length of the house from Master suite which features a large dressing room and adjoining bedroom with ensuite, currently serving as a floodlit office that would comfortably accommodate two people working from home. This property is an oasis of mature gardens, recreation, and space to suit the most discerning hosts.
