Country house, 20 m² Sortino, Syracuse (province)
Description
Land with building for sale in Sortino with panoramic view of the Anapo Valley near the necropolis of Pantalica.
The property we offer for sale is located in a privileged position, on top of a hill, with the main view facing south, in one of the most naturalistic corners of south-eastern Sicily: the Pantalica Valle dell'Anapo Nature Reserve.
The property is located in the municipality of Sortino, a precious baroque town, known for the production of honey and pizzolo, a typical product of Sortino cuisine, a reference point for lovers of typical Sicilian cuisine and good wine.
The town centre is just 1500 metres from the property for sale.
The location is ideal not only to live the local lifestyle, but is also a starting point to discover other fascinating neighboring villages.
We are in fact less than 30 minutes drive from Syracuse (25 km), Avola (40 km) and Noto (50 km), the localities with white and golden sandy beaches such as Fontane Bianche, Arenella, Ognina, Pineta del Gelsomineto, lido di Avola and lido di Noto can be arrived in less than 30 minutes.
The nearest airport is Catania, 50 km away.
The property consists of a newly built main building of 160 square meters in the process of completion, a ruined building of 53 square meters and 24.405 square meters of surrounding agricultural land, where we find olive trees and wild plants of the Mediterranean maquis typical of the Anapo Valley.
In the naturalistic plan of the province of Syracuse the land falls in an area with protection level 2.
The panoramic view of the necropolis of Pantalica and the Anapo Valley add great importance to the property.
Thanks to its characteristics and its proximity to the town centre, the building can be used as a main residence, a country residence or for short holiday rentals.
Main data on the property:
Gross floor area house = 213 sq.m. about (the gross floor area is equal to that which can be walked on, including internal walls and load-bearing walls, excluding verandas, terraces, attics, balconies, garages, basements, technical rooms and storage rooms)
Ground area including the area occupied by buildings = 24.831 sq.m.
Location description:
Sortino is a valuable baroque town in the province of Syracuse, known for the production of honey, is located in the Hyblean Mountains near the Rock Necropolis of Pantalica and the Anapo River.
Sortino is defined "the city of honey" for its excellent production but is also famous in the province for being the home of pizzolo and for the high consumption of beer for person.
The necropolis of Pantalica is one of the best known historical testimonies of the city, composed of five thousand caves that were excavated by several generations of hominids, perhaps by the first Neanderthal men, certainly by the first Sapiens Sapiens of the Paleolithic and Neolithic.
The work was, finally, completed in protohistoric times by the people of the Pantalica Civilization who re-used them as tombs.
The "Opira di li Pupi" (in Sicilian language), in which the heroic deeds of the French paladins are narrated, has been part of Sortinese culture for many years. Among the most represented stories we have the "Orlando furioso"; other representations staged are the famous "farse", comic scenes narrated especially in Sicilian. Surely the most important "pupari" Sortinesi remain the "Puglisi", who for several generations have handed down this art.
Among the sites of interest is the house museum of traditional beekeeping that tells, through its museum route full of objects and equipment of the time, the traditions of Sortinese beekeeping.
The museum is a destination for visitors, students of all levels, and researchers.
