Description
Within the Cavagrande del Cassibile Nature Reserve lies this enchanting feudal hamlet in need of renovation, dating back to 1793 with a 3,000 square metre farmhouse, complete with a large courtyard and a charming chapel. The property covers some 162 hectares of land and boasts a fascinating history: In 1801 the feud was donated by King Ferdinand IV of Naples and III of Sicily (who in 1816 assumed the title Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies) to Baron Gaetano Barresi. The current owners still keep the precious original document, handwritten and signed by the King. Of the 162 hectares in total, 90 are cultivable: Currently, 40 hectares are dedicated to wheat cultivation, while the remainder, embellished by expanses of olive trees, are used for grazing. A recent feasibility study revealed the suitability of the land for planting an almond grove, offering further opportunities for agricultural development. The property has autonomous water resources thanks to boreholes with a constant average flow of about 15 litres per second and a large collection tank with a capacity of about 1 million litres of water. A panoramic view of the sea can be enjoyed from the highest part of the estate. In addition, the final portion of the property falls within the ‘Cavagrande del Cassibile’ Reserve and Pre-Reserve area, crossed by the river of the same name. This extraordinary place, known as the ‘Grand Canyon of Sicily’, is a major attraction for international tourism. Thanks also to its close location to the beautiful Noto, famous for its Baroque heritage, the feud lends itself perfectly to becoming a luxurious private residence or an exclusive eco-friendly boutique hotel.
