Detached villa for sale in Valverde

A private residence between Etna and the Mediterranean Some properties are appreciated for their size. Others for the quality of their construction. And then there are places where architecture, landscape, and privacy achieve a balance that's hard to replicate. This important private residence in Valverde falls into this category. Nestled on an exclusive plot of approximately 3,800 square meters, in a dominant and naturally secluded location, the villa enjoys a privileged view of the entire Catania coast. From the garden and the rooms of the house, the view spans the gulf, reaching the Faraglioni of Acitrezza and following the Ionian coast, all the way to Taormina and Castelmola on clear days. A panorama that is not simply observed: it enters the house and becomes an integral part of it. The property, commissioned in the early 2000s with particular attention to quality materials and careful execution, extends approximately 300 square meters of internal space spread over several levels and is located within a small residential complex consisting of only four independent villas. The distance between the individual residences, combined with the generous expanse of land, ensures a sense of privacy and independence that is difficult to find in a residential context. The entrance The arrival at the villa crosses the private park and leads to an elegant portico that precedes the main entrance. From here, the first impression is entrusted to the light. The large reception area immediately opens onto the panoramic view through expansive glass surfaces, creating a visual continuity between the interior and the coastline. The sea thus becomes a constant presence, while natural light fills the spaces throughout the day. The main floor is designed around conviviality and representation: a large living room, a refined dining area and an eat-in kitchen with a concealed solution create a fluid, elegant and functional space. Attention to detail is evident without ostentation: high-quality parquet flooring, integrated LED lighting, double-glazed windows and security systems, as well as a layout designed to combine comfort and privacy. A laundry room, a storage room and a service bathroom complete this level. The most private dimension A comfortable staircase leads to the lower level, entirely dedicated to the sleeping area. Here there is space for three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an additional storage room. But even in this part of the house, the relationship with the outside remains the protagonist: the bedrooms overlook the private garden, offering glimpses of the greenery and a pleasant continuity with the landscape. It's a configuration that gives the sleeping area that feeling of independence and quiet you expect from a true private residence. The garden as part of the property Outside, approximately 3,800 square meters of private land surround the villa and amplify its size. Green spaces, trees, and numerous fruit trees create a natural environment that offers ample scope for further enhancement. The size and shape of the lot allow for an even more complex landscape design, including the possible construction of a private swimming pool, subject to compliance with urban planning and permit requirements. The private viewpoint On the upper level, a large panoramic terrace represents one of the most evocative elements of the property. This is the point where the villa reaches its maximum openness towards the landscape: a private belvedere suspended between Etna and the Mediterranean, from which the coast appears in its entirety. The terrace also offers interesting design potential for a possible expansion of the residence, which must of course be assessed in light of urban planning regulations and the necessary permits.   This villa does not seek attention through excess. Its strength lies in its location, proportions, privacy, construction quality and privileged relationship with the landscape. Approximately 300 square meters of residence, 3,800 square meters of private land, a context of only four villas and a view of the Mediterranean that accompanies the rooms of the house. This property is designed for those seeking more than just a grand home, but a personal, private, and unique place, where the value of living is also measured by the ability to open a window and gaze out over the Ionian coast. Valverde, Etna. A private residence with the Mediterranean before your eyes.
