Set in the countryside outside Noto, this 19th-century farmhouse dates to 1867 and has been selectively restored, with further scope to complete the remaining structures. On the market with Italy Sotheby’s International Realty, the property is offered at €1,300,000.
Set within the UNESCO-designated Val di Noto, the property sits in one of Sicily’s most architecturally cohesive and agriculturally active landscapes, defined by Baroque towns and working countryside rather than isolated rural pockets. Compared to drier, more exposed parts of the island, the southeast offers a more cultivated environment, with olive groves, citrus orchards, and a terrain that remains visually structured throughout the year.
The estate extends to approximately 13 hectares (32.1 acres) and is organised around a main farmhouse that has undergone a recent conservation-led renovation, alongside sections that remain to be restored. A full roof replacement has already been completed across the complex, establishing a solid structural base for any future works.
The restored portion of the main residence includes a living area with an open-plan kitchen and three bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. Interiors have been updated with attention to materials and detailing, balancing contemporary functionality with the original structure.
An independent guesthouse provides additional accommodation, arranged as an open-plan living space with a bedroom and bathroom, along with a mezzanine level used as a secondary relaxation area.
In total, the property offers approximately 694 m² (7,470 sq ft) of interior space across the main house and ancillary buildings. The surrounding land contributes to privacy and potential agricultural use, with the option to introduce a swimming pool, subject to planning.
A defining feature of the estate is a 19th-century chapel integrated into the grounds, an uncommon element that reflects the property’s historic origins and adds a distinct architectural layer to the site.
Its position near Noto, with beaches along the southeastern coast typically within 20–30 km (12–19 miles) and proximity to protected stretches such as the Vendicari Nature Reserve, places it within a quietly established micro-market that continues to attract international buyers seeking scale, privacy, and long-term value.
