Description
Rif: 40001077-108 Classe energetica: A1 Nel cuore della campagna modicana, in posizione riservata ma strategicamente collegata, Remax presenta in vendita unautentica masseria in pietra finemente ristrutturata, capace di coniugare il fascino della tradizione siciliana con il comfort contemporaneo. La proprietà, parte di un antico insediamento rurale dei primi del 900, si distingue per la qualità della ristrutturazione, che ha saputo valorizzare gli elementi originari, mantenendo in diversi ambienti la pietra a vista, creando atmosfere calde, eleganti e di grande impatto scenografico. Limmobile si sviluppa su due livelli fuori terra per una superficie complessiva di circa 260 mq, offrendo spazi ampi e ben distribuiti, ideali sia come residenza principale che come dimora di charme per uso turistico. Allesterno, una corte privata di oltre 160 mq, rifinita in pietra locale, rappresenta un vero valore aggiunto: uno spazio intimo e suggestivo, perfetto per momenti di relax, convivialità o per essere valorizzato con arredi outdoor e verde. La posizione è particolarmente interessante: situata nella zona di Modica Sorda , consente di vivere in un contesto tranquillo e di pregio paesaggistico, senza rinunciare alla comodità dei collegamenti verso il centro città, il centro storico e le principali arterie stradali. Laccesso indipendente e la presenza di muri a secco che delimitano la proprietà garantiscono privacy e autenticità, elementi sempre più ricercati soprattutto da una clientela

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.

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.
