Ancient masseria in Vendicari
nestled in the peaceful sicilian countryside and boasting an unparalleled view over the enchanting vendicari wildlife reserve and its crystal-clear sea, this beautifully restored traditional masseria offers a true haven of charm, elegance, and serenity.
set within approximately five hectares (12.36 acres) of lovingly cultivated land, the property includes 1,200 centuries-old olive trees, 300 fragrant lemon trees, and around 100 almond trees, which in spring create a strikingly authentic rural landscape. the main residence spans about 280 sqm (3,014 sq ft) and is complemented by a delightful guest house for the caretaker measuring 60 sqm (646 sq ft).
the outdoor spaces are designed to offer maximum relaxation: a salt-filtered swimming pool sits harmoniously among olive trees and mediterranean plants, offering moments of pure wellbeing immersed in nature. completely self-sufficient and environmentally conscious, the property features three artesian wells for water supply, three storage tanks, a photovoltaic system, a domestic water purification system, a gas boiler for heating, and split air conditioning units in every room.
the interiors are spacious and filled with natural light, reflecting timeless elegance. the residence includes a welcoming living room with fireplace, a dining room, a quiet study, and a kitchen that opens onto a poolside patio - perfect for those who appreciate conviviality and the authentic flavors of sicily. each of the four bedrooms features an en-suite bathroom and opens directly onto the garden. the size of the land allows for further construction, either to expand the existing villa or to build an additional guest house.
located just a 10-minute drive from the entrance to the vendicari nature reserve, the property enjoys an exceptional position: the historic center of noto, a unesco world heritage site and a jewel of sicilian baroque architecture, is only 15 minutes away, while catania fontanarossa international airport can be reached comfortably within an hour.
