Description
Immersa nella tranquillità della campagna ma a meno di dieci minuti dal centro di Este, questa casa singola da ristrutturare offre ampi spazi e il fascino delle abitazioni di un tempo. Disposta su due livelli, ci accoglie al piano terra una zona giorno composta da salotto, cucina abitabile, cucinino e bagno. Al piano superiore si trovano tre camere da letto e un secondo bagno, ambienti luminosi e spaziosi ideali per chi desidera ampi margini di personalizzazione. Grazie alla disposizione interna e alla presenza di accessi funzionali, l'immobile si presta già molto bene ad essere suddiviso in due appartamenti indipendenti, ideale per due nuclei familiari o per un progetto di investimento. La casa presenta infissi in legno con vetrocamera, pavimenti più recenti e bagni rifatti nel tempo, mentre il resto conserva le finiture originali dell'epoca. All'esterno, un portico coperto di circa 60 mq conduce ai fabbricati accessori, tra cui un ricovero attrezzi e una stalla-fienile su due livelli per complessivi 120 mq, facilmente riconvertibile in dependance, studio o laboratorio. La proprietà è completata da un ampio giardino di circa 1.600 mq, perfetto per chi cerca tranquillità e indipendenza. In totale, tra abitazione e pertinenze, la superficie raggiunge circa 450 mq complessivi, offrendo interessanti opportunità di ristrutturazione. Una soluzione ideale per chi desidera una casa indipendente con ampi spazi, oppure una proprietà da suddividere in più unità abitative. Rif. VE3 A tu

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.
