Following the success of the Tuscan developments in Vepri and Catignano, and with the increasing demand for overseas property, Frank Salt Real Estate is now offering a carefully handpicked selection of country houses, townhouses, new developments, villas and sites for development in Ragusa, Sicily.

The region of Ragusa was chosen mainly for its proximity to Pozzallo and the Maltese Islands, as well as for its rich and diverse sites and countryside, not to mention the excellent property prices. These are in fact very similar to what one used to pay in Malta and Gozo 20 years ago but are now rising fast. To cite an instance, it is possible to acquire a 20,000 sq m plot of land, secluded in the countryside, yet close to the charming towns of Ragusa and Modica, from only €90,000! Ready-to-move into townhouses in the heart of the city start from €75,000.

A number of developments are already underway in conjunction with local developers. One such development offers the possibility of buying a plot of land measuring 10,000 sq m of land, together with permits for a luxurious villa from only €55,000. Not only, Frank Salt Real Estate are also offering turnkey solutions whereby the villa can be completely constructed and finished to very high specifications from only €180,000.

Sicily is only 90 minutes away by catamaran, making it an ideal destination for a holiday home. The cost of living is less than that in Malta and the island has a stable and growing economy. Complement this with great Sicilian food and wines and friendly locals, and you have an ideal place where to spend long weekends and holidays with your family and friends!

One other factor that is expected to trigger a lot of interest among Maltese is the possibility of joint ownership whereby a group of friends or relatives will be able to benefit from this great opportunity but avoid absorbing the full cost of purchase.

An open weekend is being held from 14 to 16 November at Le Meridien Hotel in St Julian’s to provide more information on this investment opportunity.
