1600S ANCIENT FIEFDOM AMONG RAGUSA’S CAMAPAGNE, SICILY

In the countryside of Ragusa, an ancient fiefdom dating back to the 1600s presents itself with all the charm of a historic structure perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. Surrounded by three-meter-high walls, the property is built around a large central baglio paved in basalt, covering 750 square meters. The main house, on two levels, is reached via a pitchstone staircase that leads to the main floor. Here are the reception rooms, bedrooms and a brick kitchen that is still well preserved. The floors alternate between original materials from the 17th century and cement tiles from later periods. From the terrace, adorned with castle-style battlements, the view extends over the Sicilian countryside to the sea. A 5-hectare park and 16 hectares of land complete the property. An additional 25 hectares can be amalgamated, increasing the prestige and privacy of this historic home. The property is located in one of the most representative areas of the Sicilian countryside, characterized by centuries-old carob trees, olive trees and dry stone walls. A few kilometers away are Ragusa, Modica and Scicli, historic centers of the Val di Noto recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The beaches of the coast are within easy reach, as are Donnafugata Castle and the Donnafugata Golf Resort, with its courses surrounded by nature. Excellently connected, the property is just minutes from Comiso Airport and Catania International Airport, making connections to major Italian and European destinations easy.
