In the charming Iblei highlands in contrada Pirainito, 10 km from Rosolini and 15 km from Noto, we propose for sale 160 sq.m. of rural buildings surrounded by about 16 hectares of agricultural land.
We are located in the municipality of Rosolini, a precious Baroque town known for the cultivation of citrus fruits, almond, olive and carob trees and recognised as the 'City of the Carob Tree'.
The property for sale is located at the top of a hill between the countryside of Noto and Rosolini, with a panoramic 360° view in one of the most naturalistic corners of south-eastern Sicily in the Anapo Valley and nestled between the 'Tellaro' river (commonly known as the 'Paradiso' river) and the 'Pirainito' stream, a right tributary.
The land, which is partly flat and partly sloping, is classified for its greater extension as arable land and arboreal pastureland. The buildings, approximately 160 sq.m. in size, are stone constructions typical of Sicilian masserias, are in need of renovation and house the owner's house and storage rooms in a separate building from the main one.
In the landscape plan of the province of Syracuse, the property for sale is located in an area with protection level 2.
Thanks to its privileged position, the buildings are well suited for use both as a private residence and as holiday home, B&B or agritourism accommodation.
Sicilian masserias are currently enjoying a moment of great glory, and many Italian and foreign investors are buying and recovering these old rural buildings to build luxury resorts or agritourism farms in an environmentally sustainable way, thanks also to the financial support of the Region of Sicily for the recovery and valorisation of historic rural buildings and the protection of the rural landscape.
The property is easily accessible and can be accessed directly from the provincial road 17. The location is ideal not only to fully experience the rupestrian style of local life, but is also a starting point for discovering other fascinating neighbouring towns in south-eastern Sicily and the sea areas.
We are 18 km from the Noto motorway junction and 11 km from the Rosolini motorway junction, less than 60 minutes' drive from Syracuse (50 km), Avola (23 km), and the most popular holiday destinations for tourists such as Noto, Avola, Syracuse, Marzamemi, Portopalo di Capo Passero, Pachino, Riserva di Vendicari, Cavagrande del Cassibile, Modica, Pozzallo and Ragusa.
The reference airports are Comiso 68 km and Catania 100 km.
Sicily is a paradise to explore, an ideal place for those who love culture and for those who love to contemplate the sea.
By car, in just a few hours, it is possible to reach the numerous seaside resorts surrounding the island, the most beautiful beaches, and the most important cultural and artistic locations.
The interior of the island is also fascinating, characterised by rich, unspoilt landscapes, but also with a great culture, liveliness and a great traditional agri-food heritage.
