An 1867 Masseria Blending History, Nature, and Sicilian Rural Architecture
In the heart of the Sicilian countryside, between Noto and Palazzolo Acreide, this historic masseria dating back to 1867 is offered for sale. Immersed in an unspoiled and charming landscape, it is a place where time seems to have stood still—yet important restoration work has already been carried out, bringing part of this rural gem back to life. The property sits harmoniously in a hilly setting with open views over the surrounding countryside, just minutes from areas of great natural, archaeological, and cultural interest.
The main building of the masseria measures approximately 450 sqm and offers spacious interiors with great potential. Three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and an elegant, fully equipped breakfast room have already been tastefully renovated and are ready for use. The remaining areas are in need of restoration, offering wide possibilities for customization: a private residence, boutique accommodation, cultural center, or working farm. All roofs across the estate have been completely redone, and the existing systems are certified and equipped with air conditioning, ensuring both comfort and safety.
A rare and valuable feature of the property is the private chapel, measuring around 75 sqm. This sacred space enriches the estate with historical and cultural significance, making it ideal for events, ceremonies, or wellness and spiritual projects. Dating back to the same period as the masseria, the chapel maintains a deep connection to the land and its cultural roots.
The property also includes an independent 75 sqm guesthouse, already restored and beautifully furnished—perfect for guests, staff, or as a vacation rental. In addition, a separate 30 sqm building could serve as a workshop, studio, storage space, or creative area. All the structures overlook a splendid 300 sqm internal courtyard, the true heart of the estate—perfect for social gatherings, outdoor dining, or private events in a refined yet rustic setting.A Property with Soul, Ready to Be Reimagined
Surrounding the masseria is a vast agricultural area of 12.7 hectares, cultivated with typical Mediterranean vegetation: olive trees, fruit trees, pomegranates, walnuts, persimmons, and expanses of arable land. The land is ideally suited for high-quality agricultural production, organic farming, or the creation of an integrated agrotourism project. The scents and colors of the Sicilian countryside create a tranquil atmosphere, set within a landscape of rare natural beauty.
The masseria enjoys a particularly strategic location: halfway between the magnificent baroque city of Noto and the historic town of Palazzolo Acreide. It offers easy access to the beaches along the Syracuse coastline, nature reserves, scenic pine forests ideal for long walks, and charming historic villages. A perfect base for anyone wishing to live or invest in an authentic corner of Sicily—far from mass tourism yet close to everything that matters.
This masseria is much more than just a property—it is an open project, a container of possibilities. Already partially renovated and equipped with modern systems and habitable spaces, it offers a solid foundation on which to build an exclusive residence, a country villa, a hospitality retreat, or a next-generation agricultural business. The combination of historical character, natural surroundings, and contemporary functionality makes this property a valuable investment and a rare opportunity in the heart of the most authentic Sicily.
