Description
Rif:(121156320) - Il Gruppo Ricercato Immobiliare ha il piacere di proporre in esclusiva la vendita di un affascinante palazzotto ottocentesco, ricco di storia e carattere. Situato nel cuore del caratteristico paesino di San Pietro in Lama, a soli 10 minuti da Lecce e in posizione strategica rispetto alle principali arterie stradali che collegano la città alle marine ioniche e adriatiche, questo edificio rappresenta una rara opportunità per chi cerca autenticità e potenziale. La proprietà, in buone condizioni strutturali, necessita di alcuni interventi di riammodernamento per esprimere appieno il suo charme originario. Il piano terra si sviluppa su una superficie coperta di circa 170 mq, articolata in sei vani. A livello si trovano anche un porticato d'ingresso coperto, un secondo portico che funge da luminoso atrio centrale scoperto e un grazioso giardino retrostante di circa 80 mq, ideale per momenti di relax all'aperto. Negli anni '90 sono stati eseguiti lavori di ristrutturazione che hanno riguardato impianti, infissi e alcune finiture. Nei primi anni 2000 è stato effettuato l'allaccio alla rete del gas metano. Salendo al primo piano, si accede a una seconda unità abitativa di circa 140 mq coperti, dotata di terrazzo retrostante di ben 150 mq: un angolo riservato e suggestivo dove godere della luce e della quiete del Salento. Questo livello ospita tre ampi vani, attualmente suddivisi in ingresso, soggiorno e una spaziosa camera da letto. È già predisposto per l'installazi

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.
