Description

A Rapino (CH), nel cuore del Parco Nazionale della Majella, in un contesto autentico e incontaminato dove non è più possibile costruire nuove abitazioni, proponiamo una casa che è prima di tutto un ritorno. Si accede da una stradina privata che conduce al cancello e al giardino di circa 1000 mq, uno spazio ampio e vivo, con alberi, fontana, zona orto, parcheggio per più auto e box chiuso. La proprietà è una porzione di villino bifamiliare con grande privacy, libera su tre lati, immersa nel silenzio della campagna. La casa si sviluppa per circa 160 mq complessivi: al piano terra (104 mq) un ampio salone triplo esposto a sud con camino, cucina grande con dispensa, due camere e un bagno luminoso; al piano superiore un sottotetto di circa 80 mq, oggi rustico, con tutto il potenziale per diventare uno spazio speciale. È abitabile, ma pronta a trasformarsi in un elegante cottage di montagna o in un progetto ricettivo. ? A pochi minuti dai sentieri della Majella, 20 min dalle piste da sci, 30-40 min dal mare e dall'aeroporto di Pescara, circa 2 ore da Roma. Inoltre, Rapino rientra nella ZES Unica, con agevolazioni per chi investe. ? Le immagini sono in parte reali e in parte elaborate da uno studio di architettura per mostrare il potenziale dell'immobile.

Living in Rapino

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.

Key Fact

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.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
