Le crete (Provincia di Cosenza)
Imagine opening your windows and letting the same sea breeze flow through your rooms: from the hillside of Sangineto, the Tyrrhenian coast unfolds before you like a painting, framed by olive groves, neat vineyard rows and, in the distance, the blue outline of the Pollino. Here, an ancient stone farmhouse—currently in a ruinous state—is coming back to life thanks to an approved project that will be completed and delivered turnkey by 2026. The renovation includes seismic reinforcement of the masonry, new wooden roof and floor structures, restoration of historical details and the integration of high‑efficiency features such as a six‑kilowatt photovoltaic system with storage batteries and solar thermal panels for domestic hot water. The farmhouse will become two independent apartments of about forty‑five square metres each: one on the ground floor, enjoying direct access to the garden, and the other on the first floor, reached by an external stone staircase. Both will offer an open‑plan living area with kitchen, a generous double bedroom and a windowed bathroom. Separate entrances and a dedicated parking space for each unit ensure privacy, while a paved courtyard and a terraced garden of roughly three hundred and fifty square metres remain shared spaces, perfect for al‑fresco dinners, moments of relaxation or growing aromatic herbs. The entire property is offered turnkey for one hundred and fifty thousand euros, yet it is also possible to purchase a single apartment by agreeing on the most suitable share of garden and parking. The access road is a private lane already co‑owned by all neighbouring landowners and will be upgraded jointly, so you can enjoy the tranquillity of a country home without giving up convenience: the beaches of Sangineto Lido are only a five‑minute drive away, Diamante can be reached in twenty minutes and Lamezia Terme International Airport in less than an hour. Whether you are looking for a first home with a sea view, a holiday retreat or an investment for short‑term rentals, this farmhouse combines authenticity, energy efficiency and the freedom to customise finishes and details.
