"ANTICO PALMENTO" farmhouse

Nestled in the tranquility of the Ragusan countryside, in the heart of southeastern Sicily and the enchanting Val di Noto, lies the Antico Palmento, a historic estate dating back to 1850, once dedicated to winemaking. Surrounded by authentic Baroque architecture and located in the prestigious DOCG area of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, this property represents a perfect blend of history, nature, and wine culture. The palmento, with its olive mill, a space traditionally used for the collection of musts and grape pressing, retains the charm of its original function, offering today a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Sicilian history. Located in the peaceful countryside, the property spans approximately 8,250 square meters of land, enriched by lush vegetation, including thirty olive trees, dozens of almond trees, palm trees, eucalyptus, and citrus plants like oranges and mandarins. A true corner of paradise, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards that define the typical landscape of the Val di Noto. The building, covering 270 square meters, requires renovation but boasts immense potential thanks to its architectural features. The first part of the structure includes bedrooms and bathrooms, while the second, situated in the lower section that once housed the large pressing and fermentation tanks, features a stunning stone arch and high ceilings, with a typical Sicilian roof of cane and plaster with terracotta tiles, ideal for creating a spacious living area. The generous windows flood the rooms with natural light, offering spectacular views. Completing this charming property are large verandas slightly elevated above the garden, from which one can admire a breathtaking view of the gentle hills and the wide green spaces and trees that surround the estate. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those seeking a historic residence, immersed in the peace and unspoiled beauty of the Sicilian countryside.
