Description

Rif: 30721022-386 Classe energetica: G Presentiamo in vendita un intero complesso edilizio composto da 3 distinte unità immobiliari localizzate presso la Via Paracquara (SP 193) in località Spuligni nel territorio del Comune di Zafferana Etnea (Ct). I tre beni sono descritti come segue: 1. Edificio su due livelli fuori terra iscritto al catasto nella categoria B/1 (Collegi e convitti, educandati; ricoveri; orfanotrofi; ospizi; conventi; seminari; caserme) per una superficie catastale complessiva di 1.135 mq. L'immobile gode di 17 stanze servite da bagno più tutta una serie di spazi comuni (reception, mensa, cucina, locali tecnici, saloni) e servito da spazi esterni (cortile, terrazzi a livello e sovrastanti, giardino). Le condizioni generali sono buone. La struttura è attualmente adibita a colonia denominata Oasi Madonna del Buon Consiglio ed è gestita in comodato d'uso gratuito fino a tutto il 2025; è assimilabile a quelle destinate ad attività turistico-ricettiva per cui, data la tipicità della stessa, può essere considerato una sua trasformazione come struttura alberghiera, turistico ricettiva e simili. E' presente un ascensore che tuttavia non è stato ancora mai utilizzato in quanto ancora in attesa di collaudo. La struttura, recentemente oggetto di opere di ristrutturazione generale, presenta impiantistica a norma, è termo-autonoma ed è dotata di allarme. Relativamente alla regolarità urbanistico-catastale l'immobile risulta sia in regola per quanto riguarda il rilascio

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.
