Why I Selected It
This is one of the most affordable opportunities I've come across in Modica's historic centre, but what makes it interesting isn't just the asking price.
The roof has already been replaced—a major expense that has already been taken care of—and the property includes a substantial cave at the rear. With the right design approach, the cave could become the defining feature of the home, creating a unique living space that would be difficult to replicate in a modern property.
For someone looking for a creative restoration project rather than a turnkey renovation, I think this offers exceptional potential.

Renovation Notes
The property requires a complete internal renovation.
The roof has already been completed, allowing the renovation budget to focus on rebuilding the interior and reinstating the mezzanine level.
The cave provides an opportunity to create a dramatic living or entertaining space and is, in my opinion, the property's strongest asset.
