Description
BAGLIO MARLENE è il frutto di un'attenta ristrutturazione conservativa che la proprietaria con molto gusto ha saputo valorizzare rispettando il carattere originale di un casale / baglio di fine '800. La posizione dominante e la veduta panoramica sulla bella campagna tra Modica e Frigintini sono certamente un valore aggiunto ad un luogo dove le stesse pietre raccontano la storia del passato. Entrando dal maestoso cancello, una stradina ci accompagna fino a giungere in ampio cortile, dove inizialmente troviamo una graziosa casetta oggi utilizzata come dependance per ospiti ed amici; Un'ulteriore cancellata apre sul caratteristico baglio in ciottolato con il pozzo centrale. La casa di circa 255mq si sviluppa in un unico livello con un grande soggiorno / living dove un caminetto in pietra accompagna le serate in conversazione con gli amici; uno studio, una sala da pranzo, una bella e luminosa cucina con forno in pietra e tre camere da letto con bagno en suité. Un magnifico orto / frutteto di circa 2.000 metri circondato da grandi mura in pietra modicana; oltre a circa 20.000 mq di terreno agricolo. Recentemente è stata costruita una bellissima piscina infinity.

Espresso at the bar every morning, pasta made the way your grandmother wished she could, and a culture that treats every meal, every sunset, and every conversation as something worth lingering over.
Visa
Digital Nomad Visa — requires remote work for foreign clients/employers, min €28,000/yr net income, and 6 months work experience. Valid 1 year, renewable. Elective Residence Visa — for retirees and those with passive income (€31,000/yr minimum, no work allowed). Both offer a path to long-term residency.

Italy launched its digital nomad visa in 2024, making it much easier for remote workers than the old elective residence route. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow (3-6 months processing), so patience and a good immigration lawyer are essential.

Next steps for moving to Italy
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
