About the Property

ISPICA: an ancient Sicilian estate blending history, nature, and the Mediterranean. There are places in Sicily where time seems to have stopped, where stone tells an ancient story, the countryside stretches to the horizon, and the sea is never far away. Contrada Scorsone, in the territory of Ispica, is one of these places.

In the heart of the province of Ragusa, Ispica holds diverse souls
ISPICA: an ancient Sicilian estate blending history, nature, and the Mediterranean. There are places in Sicily where time seems to have stopped, where stone tells an ancient story, the countryside stretches to the horizon, and the sea is never far away. Contrada Scorsone, in the territory of Ispica, is one of these places.

In the heart of the province of Ragusa, Ispica holds diverse souls: the Baroque spirit of its splendid churches, the Liberty style of its elegant palaces, and the oldest, most mysterious one preserved in the Cava d’Ispica and the archaeological charm of Parco Forza. It is a land where history is not just told: it is felt.

The writer Luigi Capuana, who lived in Ispica and began writing Il Marchese di Roccaverdina here, described the city’s landscape with particular intensity—bell towers, domes, white facades, and ancient roofs overlooking the rock. It is this authentic, intense Sicily, still deeply connected to its land, that frames the property we offer for sale.

THE PROPERTY: nestled in the Iblean countryside, strategically located between Ispica, Rosolini, and the Mediterranean, we present a significant inactive agricultural estate. It consists of a complex real estate core and about 60,000 sqm of farmland. The heart of the property is a main building of approximately 170 sqm, all on the ground floor, with about 150 sqm of usable space, currently in need of renovation. The house still retains the typical features of Sicilian rural architecture and includes 7 rooms: three bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a valuable veranda overlooking the private garden and the sea.

Surrounding the house is an additional building complex of 7 structures, including a storage house, a stable, and a characteristic stone rural house, totaling about 400 sqm. This important complex, now to be restored, offers broad design and enhancement possibilities, always respecting current urban planning regulations and permitted uses.

A SIGNIFICANT WATER RESOURCE: a notable feature of the property is a functioning artesian well, with a declared flow rate of about 17 liters per second, accompanied by two cisterns. This is a vital resource for an agricultural estate of this size, enhancing its value and potential, especially regarding land and crop management. Having its own water source is particularly significant in a territory where water is essential for farming activities.

SIX HECTARES OF SICILY: about 6 hectares of farmland surround and complete the property. Part of the land hosts productive olive and carob trees, instantly evoking the image of the most authentic Sicily: stone, trees, intense light, the scent of earth, and the silence of the countryside. Here, the property’s value lies not only in the buildings but especially in their relationship with the landscape. Sixty thousand square meters where one can imagine a new project, restoring the ancient rural core and giving it new life. The size and scope of the estate allow for various enhancement possibilities, to be explored based on urban planning, building regulations, and permitted uses.

ISPICA, BETWEEN COUNTRYSIDE AND MEDITERRANEAN: another distinctive element is the location. The property is just minutes by car from Ispica’s center, a few kilometers from the sea, and close to important transport routes. From here, the Iblean countryside leads toward the Mediterranean and some of the most beautiful coasts of southeastern Sicily.

The long stretch of Santa Maria del Focallo, with its golden sandy beach, leads to increasingly wild landscapes, coves, cliffs, and inlets. Continuing, you reach Punta Ciriga, with its caves and characteristic sea stacks, and Porto Ulisse, an ancient inlet mentioned in classical sources and protected by the tuff spur of Punta Castellazzo.

Also nearby are the Pantani Bruno and Longarini, natural environments of great interest where water, dunes, vegetation, and migratory birds create a constantly changing landscape with the seasons.

A STRATEGIC LOCATION: the property is about 3 km from the highway, a few kilometers from the sea, and conveniently located relative to Ispica and Rosolini. This is an especially attractive spot for those who want to live immersed in the tranquility of the Sicilian countryside while maintaining easy access to main roads and the coast.

A PROPERTY, A PROJECT: this is not just a country house. It is a significant Sicilian rural estate, with a substantial total building area, about six hectares of land, a functioning artesian well with a flow of about 17 liters per second, two cisterns, and an architectural heritage that still holds the charm of its origins. It is a property for those who can look beyond what exists today and imagine what it could become. A place to recover the memory of the Iblean countryside, enhance the ancient buildings, live among olive and carob trees, have access to an important water resource, and reach the Mediterranean in minutes. An important, authentic property full of potential.

A story to rediscover, a future yet to be written.
