EXCLUSIVE RENOVATED HISTORIC VILLA WITH SWIMMING POOL AND GUEST HOUSE – PIANO MAGLIO (ALTOFONTE) CASA GREEN

Just a few kilometers from Altofonte, in the renowned and secluded Contrada Piano Maglio neighborhood—specifically on Via degli Astronauti—a prestigious detached villa within a gated community is now for sale. Surrounded by lush greenery, it features a swimming pool, a guest house, and ample outdoor spaces.

The property, originally built in the 1700s as an old watermill known as “Villa Torretta,” represents a perfect blend of historical charm and the comforts of contemporary living. Completely renovated in 2011, it was further enhanced in 2020 with the installation of exterior insulation, a 6 kW solar panel system, and a stunning swimming pool.

The property sits on a lot of approximately 800 square meters, enhanced by a beautifully manicured garden featuring a lawn, Mediterranean plants, fruit trees, charming natural stone accents, and rocky outcrops that provide privacy and an atmosphere of complete relaxation.

The main entrance features an elegant portico with a larch wood structure and details in bush-hammered travertine marble, ideal for enjoying the outdoor spaces in every season.

Floor Plan

On the ground floor, you are greeted by a spacious living room dominated by a striking open staircase. Rounding out this level is a spacious kitchen with terracotta flooring that mimics parquet, a suspended ceiling with LED lighting, and direct access to a second porch with a veranda serving as a utility kitchen—perfect for outdoor lunches and dinners.
On the same floor, there is a study, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower.

The upper floor features three comfortable bedrooms. One features a splendid panoramic terrace overlooking the Gulf of Palermo and the picturesque village of Monreale; another retains the characteristic loft built where the mill’s large wheel once turned—a unique detail that tells the story of the property.
Rounding out the sleeping area is the master bedroom, which—along with the other bedrooms—is served by two bathrooms with showers, a convenient storage closet, and additional loft spaces.

What makes this property even more exclusive is the presence of a fully renovated guest house, consisting of a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom/laundry room—ideal for guests, family members, or domestic staff seeking complete independence.

A convenient storage shed/cellar completes the property.
