Property Development World

In a brief break from the norm (i.e., mega luxurious, uber expensive properties in exotic locations), we thought we’d showcase some attractive and affordable villas in Sardinia - the stunningly beautiful Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea. 

Oh now don’t get us wrong, Sardinia is quite an exotic location and these properties are certainly something very special otherwise they wouldn’t find their way onto the pages of this website…but these villa properties are affordable and easily accessible and so they do actually make a practical bet for anyone looking for a holiday home in the sun.

The development in question is called Monte Carru and it is located in the heart of the Alghero countryside in northwest Sardinia.  From the terraces of the villas for sale residents will have uninterrupted views of the Bay of Alghero as well as Capo Caccia and they will be able to watch nightly Mediterranean sunsets – and if you’ve never seen one, you’re missing a romantic treat.

The properties for sale are spread across a low density seventy acre site and there are options available for homes ranging from two to six bedrooms.  Each property is built in the traditional Sardinian way with solid granite used throughout the structure for everything from the outer facers to the window ledges and the large roman window arches.

Internally each property has many special features such as a large open fireplace and beautiful Italian stone flooring throughout.  Many aspects of the construction are done by hand with talented local craftsman ensuring that each of the 260 villas have unique elements.

The Monte Carru development in Alghero in Sardinia will also feature swimming pools, tennis courts, a five star hotel, shops, restaurants and communal leisure facilities and what’s more, the properties are just a short drive from the nearby seaside town of Alghero, from the local airport and from some of the best beaches in Sardinia.

These attractive and affordable villas in Sardinia in Italy are so well located, they come with exceptional views, excellent onsite facilities and they start from just GBP 200,000…Alghero Estates are the agents exclusively marketing this development. 

Well, if you want to include the likes of George Clooney among your neighbours then have we got the ultimate investment opportunity for you? 

Situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Como (it’s in Italy in case you were wondering!) is a brand new, hotly in demand, selling out fast development of one and two bedroom apartments for sale from just EUR 137,000 and if you want one of these amazing properties then you’d better move fast.

Basically the apartments are for sale off plan and they are all expected to be snapped up within days of their release by both investors and those seeking a home in one of the most stunning spots in Europe. 

Lake Como has to be seen to be believed – the lake and its surrounding areas are so beautiful and enjoy such a fabulous climate that everyone who’s anyone wants to live as close to the lake as possible and well located superior villa properties regularly fetch tens of millions of Euros when they are marketed for sale. 

This particular development of one and two bed off plan apartments for sale are located within what’s known as the ‘Golden Triangle’ of desirable locations around Lake Como.  They are up in the hills above the shores of the lake in the village of Varenna which looks down on the historic setting of Bellagio which is right across the water from Menaggio. 

The apartments come with impressive views of the lake, each has a private parking space and all have use of the site’s communal pool.  Mortgages are available to fund up to 80% of the purchase price and committed buyers need only find EUR 5,000 to secure their purchase with the construction work expected to be completed in 2007.

According to the agents marketing these apartments a rental income of around EUR 15,000 annually is easy to achieve and we can well believe it because of the location, location, location darling! 

There is a way that those looking for a property investment opportunity to return them a quick turn around on their capital can benefit from these apartments – buy now, wait for the site’s completion and then pop the unit back on the resale market and attract an impressive increase in equity immediately…

Oh my goodness – we at PDW are very excited because this particular property development could very well be one of its kind! 

The Villa Rancale property development project in Umbria in Italy is taking a dilapidated but stunningly beautiful ancient and sprawling Umbrian estate and turning it into a development of sympathetically renovated and luxuriously restored villas in Umbria.

The dream of living in rural Italy is perfectly encapsulated by life in Umbria where the unrivaled beauty of the Italian countryside is matched in perfection by the local food and wine and surpassed in desirability only by the inimitable quality of life available in Umbria. 

Naturally enough the lure of property in Italy is great and the lure of villas and farmhouses in Umbria is intense which is why we are so exciting by this project. 

It is almost impossible to find a dream home in Umbria anymore that is either affordable or not in need of hundreds of thousands of pounds spending on it just to make it habitable!  And yet…and yet…Villa Rancale offers the investor or buyer a perfect home at an affordable price in a stunning location within an exclusive development in one of the most desirable locations in the world!

Karen Carson and Steve White from Historic Italian Homes are managing the renovation project at Villa Rancale in Umbria and they are responsible for marketing the homes as well.  Their website for the Umbrian development project details each of the exclusive eight homes available which range in size from two bedroom villas to spacious three bedroom houses.

The properties for sale come in the form of Il Vinaio which was once the wine store, Il Fornaio which was once the estate’s bakery, Il Fico which is an exceptional building dominated by the fig trees around it, Il Mulino which was the olive press and mill building, Il Granaio which is the grain store converted into a particularly large home, La Torretta and La Torre both of which were drying rooms and which have been made into compact residences and finally La Stalla which is the renovation of the beautiful stone built stable block.

Seriously – if you’re looking for something different, with character, history, culture and style in probably one of the best locations in the world check out the Villa Rancale website.
