Plot Pietro – Spectacular Plot of Sea-View Land in Mongerbino: 3,500 m² with Olive and Lemon Trees and Sunsets over the Gulf of Palermo

Plot Pietro is a 3,575 m² terraced plot in Mongerbino, near Aspra, with views over the Gulf of Palermo and existing utility connections. A previous permit provided for a 130 m² house; a fresh application is required, with the permitted design and dimensions to be confirmed.

Sea Views and Sunsets on Palermo’s Coast

Just a few hundred metres from the sea and close to the fishing village of Aspra, Plot Pietro occupies a west-facing hillside in Mongerbino. The outlook takes in the Gulf of Palermo, the city across the water and sunsets towards Monte Pellegrino.

This stretch of coast has long attracted families from Palermo, whose villas line the headland. Its combination of coastal scenery, greenery and proximity to the city makes it an appealing location for buyers considering an investment in Sicily.

The opportunity here is to build a home to your own requirements, subject to the necessary approvals. A family holiday house, a permanent base near Palermo or a home for retirement could all be considered, with the view shaping the design.

Palermo is within convenient reach. Bagheria station is approximately five minutes away by car, with trains to the capital taking under twenty minutes on some services. Driving times into Palermo vary with traffic and your destination.

Existing connections for water, electricity, municipal sewerage and fibre-optic services are a useful starting point. Their capacity and any adaptations needed for the proposed house should be confirmed during the design process.

The Land

The property lies on Via Sant’Isidoro Monte, with the slopes of Monte Catalfano rising behind it. Terraces cut across the hillside, creating distinct areas among olive and citrus trees and opening towards the sea.

The planting gives the plot the familiar character of traditional Sicily. Lemon trees, olives and other established vegetation could become part of the future garden, retaining a sense of maturity around the new home.

The exact plot area is 3,575 m². An old building and two Second World War bunkers also stand on the land. These are distinctive features of the site, although their status and any implications for the proposed works will need to be considered when developing the project. Subject to suitability and permissions, materials from the old building could potentially be reused.

The trees, bunkers and existing structures within the property form part of the sale. The plot’s slope and terraces will be important considerations for access, construction and the arrangement of outdoor spaces.

Surroundings

Mongerbino follows the coast from Aspra around the Monte Catalfano headland towards Capo Zafferano. Villas, rocky coves and Mediterranean vegetation give this area a secluded feel despite its proximity to Palermo. The paths on Monte Catalfano offer opportunities for walking and enjoying the coastal landscape.

The nearest beach, Spiaggia del Sarello, is at the end of the road. Other coves around the headland include Ippocampo and Tre Piscine, with access varying between footpaths and boat approaches.

Aspra is approximately five minutes away by car or around fifteen minutes on foot. The village offers everyday shops, a supermarket, places to eat and a fish market connected to its longstanding fishing tradition.

Bagheria, a short distance inland, provides larger shops and a wider range of services, along with the Baroque villas built as country residences by Palermo’s aristocratic families.

From Bagheria station, trains connect with Palermo and run east along the coast towards Cefalù, with some services taking around 40 minutes. Palermo’s international airport is approximately 45 minutes away by car, depending on traffic.

Planning Position and Indicative Building Costs

The owner purchased the land in 2024 with a building permit for a house of approximately 130 m². Construction never started, and family circumstances have led her to sell. According to the information supplied, a fresh permit application is now required. The previous approval provides useful background but should not be treated as a current authorisation to build.

An allowance of around €15,000 has been suggested for the new application process. Its scope, the final charges and the permitted design will need to be confirmed. We can help coordinate the process with local surveyors and legal professionals.

A house arranged over two levels, with a raised pool in front, is one possible approach to the slope and outlook. This is a design suggestion rather than an approved scheme.

Using an indicative construction rate of €2,500 per m², a 130 m² house would have a base building cost of approximately €325,000. A further allowance of around €30,000 has been suggested for a pool.

These figures are preliminary estimates, not binding quotations or a complete project budget. The land purchase, professional fees, permit costs, groundworks, retaining structures, external works and any utility adaptations must be accounted for, with their inclusion or exclusion confirmed in detailed quotations.

Our project management service can coordinate professionals, contractors and the completion documentation, keeping you informed while you are abroad. Our clients’ experiences describe how this support has worked on previous projects.

If you later choose to rent the completed home to holidaymakers, our sister company Solemar Sicilia manages holiday properties along this coast and can advise on the practical arrangements. Any rental income would depend on the finished property, seasonality, pricing, occupancy and operating costs.

For a permanent move, our Welcome to Sicily service can assist with settling in. Depending on your personal circumstances, it may also be worth exploring the tax incentives associated with relocation, with eligibility assessed individually.
