Residence Stagnone - 36 brand new, affordable vacation homes with sea views in Sicily's first wine region, with perfect access to kitesurfing facilities

As you drive south along the main road connecting the two largest cities in western Sicily, Trapani and Marsala, past Birgi International Airport, you will pass the vast, shallow lagoon known as Saline dello Stagnone, a haven for wildlife, a historic center of the salt industry and now a mecca for lovers of the thrill of kitesurfing.

Three kilometers inland, in the Contrada Stagnone area, a beautiful modern residence of vacation homes with sea views is currently under construction in picturesque western Sicily. The 36 completely private apartments will be finished in sleek, Mediterranean white, with glazing and balconies providing bright, airy living spaces.

Surrounded by some of Italy's most popular wine growing regions and within easy reach of some of the most beautiful beaches and the timeless charm of Marsala and Trapani, this is a fabulous opportunity to acquire a vacation that is in absolutely perfect condition, at a price that will grab your attention. The lowest asking price in the complex is just €114,400 and only one property is above the €200,000 threshold. If you buy before these prices will be reduced by at least € 60,000 each.

What's more, it's possible to take advantage of Italy's renovation bonus scheme - more specifically, a tool called Sismabonus Acquisti - to reduce the cost of purchase even further. As over €80,000 of your investment can be reclaimed through tax subsidies for any buyer willing to relocate to the island, you could get an immaculate new apartment on the Mediterranean for less than the cost of a luxury car.As a final incentive, the units are sold turnkey, including fully furnished and equipped where applicable, and are ready for immediate occupation.

The property

The new Residence Stagnone residential complex will consist of two buildings with 16 and 20 apartments respectively.Each building will be long and a single unit wide.The two-story buildings will be flanked on one side by private off-street parking spaces, with one reserved for each apartment, and small gardens with boxwood hedges and miniature lawns that will add a welcoming touch to the common outdoor areas. The other side follows the site boundary, with the surrounding area being largely flat and green, with a mixture of agricultural use and low-intensity residential development.

The units will all be around 50 m2 in size and can accommodate four guests. Each of these beautiful new sea view vacation homes in Sicily consists of a bedroom, a living room with sofa, a fully equipped kitchen with oven, fridge and freezer and plenty of storage space, a bathroom with shower and a storage room. As a nod to the unique pastime for which the area is so popular, some apartments even have their own storage room for kite surfing boards!Buyers of the apartments on the upper floor can enjoy the region's legendary sunsets from their balconies with sea views. Residents of the slightly larger apartments on the first floor can also enjoy two shared terraces, which are shaded by a wooden pergola and from which you can see the coast.The view extends not only to the islands of the Stagnone, but also to the Egadi islands (Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo).

The interiors are furnished in a simple, minimalist style with high-quality materials and comfortable, modern furniture.White plastered walls and high ceilings will maximize the available living space, and wooden accents will connect the interior with the natural world outside.
Lighting will be modern and unobtrusive, and floor plans will be created with the highest standards of comfort and practicality in mind.

Each house has access to its own photovoltaic system with a capacity of 2450 kW and a solar water heater with a storage capacity of 200 liters - more than enough to guarantee everyone a hot shower when they return from the beach or surf club. The additional energy comes from already activated connections to the municipal electricity and gas supply.

Of course, it can get pretty hot in the summer in this area of the country - some estimates even suggest that Trapani is the hottest province in the whole of Italy - but you can be sure that the interiors will be kept at the perfect temperature by two-way air conditioning and climate control. The 12,000-BTU units are also capable of generating heat during the milder Sicilian winters, guaranteeing that Residence Stagnone will be a welcoming environment all year round.

To protect your investment, all apartments are secured by alarm systems.

Surroundings

If you are just discovering the fascinating area of Trapani and Marsala, don't miss our detailed guide to the region.

In the immediate vicinity of Residenza Stagnone, the main attractions of the area are of course the nearby kite surfing schools and the salt pans. They can be reached in just a few minutes by car. But there is much more to discover in one of Sicily's most historic regions. The ancient Carthaginian city of Motya, which was founded almost three thousand years ago, is located on the island of Mozia, which protrudes just 700 m into the lagoon after which this settlement is named. At that time, the nearby mountain town of Erice, which towers above modern-day Trapani, also gained great importance as a trading post.

The modern economy of the region revolves around wine production, and some of the most important names in Italian wine culture have wineries open for tours, including Donnafugata and Carlo Pelligrino.

Marsala is just a fifteen-minute drive to the south.The baroque old town is home to some wonderfully atmospheric piazzas and a beautiful indoor market.
Trapani is just a short drive further north, the beautiful city on a prominent peninsula is the gateway to the beautiful Aegean Islands.

The quiet but well-connected Trapani-Birgi Airport is less than a ten-minute drive from your front door, allowing you to travel to and from some of Europe's largest cities in just an hour or so longer than your flight time. It only takes fifteen minutes from the runway to your front door.

In the immediate vicinity of the residence, on the main street, you will find several local stores and a bar, and there are numerous excellent restaurants in the Saline area - the local specialty is of course the excellent seafood. You will have to drive to a supermarket, but there are several to choose from within a five-minute drive.

Opportunities

New residents who purchase their properties before the end of 2024 and work with the developer will have access to a unique range of customization options, with the freedom to request certain fixtures and fittings or even adapt some floor plans. By December 31 of this year, it would even be possible to buy several adjacent units and combine them into a two- or even three-bedroom apartment. It would be easy to imagine that such a larger apartment could serve not only as a summer residence, but as a year-round home for a permanent move to Sicily.
