We have the privilege of proposing the sale of the historic estate 'CASA RAGONA', in the Bosco Falconeria district, between Alcamo and Partinico, close to the bustling capital of Palermo.

'Casa Ragona' is a typical Sicilian farmhouse/grange that provides the air of an ancient city in miniature. It was a large farm inhabited by both the landowners and the farmers who worked there, which is why it's equipped with numerous lodgings and stables and deposits for crops. The construction of the farmhouse dates back to 1850, by the prestigious Ragona family, as can be seen from the initials engraved on one of the large doors.

It has two entrances, one South-East exclusivity for the villa-residence and the other, North-West on the back, that crosses the olive grove. It has a quadrangular shape with a central courtyard of 250m2. Outside we find what remains of two splendid 'winter gardens', with palm trees and shade trees, overlooked by the balconies of the main house. Inside we find a stately room, a niche that welcomed a Catholic Chapel, as was customary at the time, and animposing stone staircase leading to the elegant rooms, all with vaulted ceilings made with reeds and plaster, while the roofs are in layers covered with typical Sicilian shingles/tiles. The rest of the farmhouse is found in its raw state as it is used as warehouses.

The entire estate is located near a natural spring lake, in fact we find several wells and water intake vents. The land is flat and extends for 12 hectares, of which 5 are cultivated with olive groves (irrigated with waterworks) and theremaining 7 hectares are currently uncultivated, but for decades they have been vineyards and thanks to the large extension, it is possible, in addition to the already present one, to build a further structure of 3600 m2.

From the agritourism point of view, the Contrada Bosco Falconeria represents one of the areas of the Partinico district with the most facilities such as granges, Masserie, reception halls and various farms.

The viability to reach the property is exceptionally convenient, since it is only 200 meters from the State Road 113, which allows connections to the towns of Partinico, Balestrate, Alcamo, Castellammare del Golfo, Scopello, Riserva dello Zingaro, Macari and the Palermo-Trapani expressway.

This splendid historical Baglio is is in need of complete restoration, but woul dultimately provide either a palatial private residence or a thriving Agriturismo investment opportunity.
