Noto, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

In the heart of the Val di Noto, nestled within a vast agricultural estate, we offer for sale a 1900s building, elegantly renovated and surrounded by an English garden with centuries-old palm trees. Accessible from the provincial road connecting Noto and Palazzolo Acreide, two towns recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, this property dates back to 1900.

The dry stone walls, olive groves, and walnut trees contribute to making the property a one-of-a-kind residence, immersed in the authentic Iblean countryside.

The property comprises an apartment with a kitchen, a mezzanine living room with a fireplace and a veranda overlooking the countryside, a bathroom, and two large bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, connecting to the mezzanine level, which features a spiral staircase and wrought-iron railings (a fully livable wooden mezzanine doubles the floor space). The first building also includes five guest bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and independent access from the outside, plus a laundry room.

The building is surrounded by an external area (800 m2), paved in Sicilian terracotta.

Furthermore, they are equipped with an alarm system and an intercommunicating telephone system with each room.

The property is completed by:

* an infinity pool (equipped with a salt electrolysis system, 3 pumps and two professional filters, which filter all the water in the pool in an hour and a half)

* external lighting system (with sectored switching and timer clocks)

* n. 4 technical rooms

* heating system (35 kW boiler, each room is equipped with a room thermostat controlled by its own motorised valve with provision for the installation of a centralised air conditioning system)

* solar system for the production of 3500 litres of hot water (the operation of which is managed by an electronic control unit which ensures the automatic integration of water when the boiler is switched on)

* watering system for the green area (sectorized, managed by automatic control units and served by two 11,000-litre water tanks with automatic filling system and relative booster pump)

* 5000 litre water storage tank serving the building with autoclave activated by 2 pumps (independently switched pumps with relative exchange panel)

* 2 drills that ensure the water supply (one of these is only used for emergency purposes in the event of failure of the submersible pump of the first drill, which, however, has always been sufficient on its own to provide the entire water supply, both for the building and for irrigating the green area)

* 21 kWA silent emergency generator serving the building (with automatic start-up in the event of a temporary interruption in the electricity supply)
