On the hills rising from Noto towards the Iblean Plateau, this agricultural property of approximately 3.66 hectares occupies a position from which the landscape gradually unfolds. The view crosses the countryside, meets the profile of the Baroque city and continues towards the sea, which appears in the distance as a bright line on the horizon. From the higher parts of the property, on clear days, the panorama extends to include the two seas surrounding south-eastern Sicily: the Ionian and the Mediterranean, visible in different directions as two distinct blue horizons.
The land follows the natural contours of the hill. The varying elevations create different settings: some areas are more sheltered and secluded, while from the higher sections the view opens towards Noto, recognizable by the pale colour of its stone, and towards the coast of south-eastern Sicily. At sunset, the light glides over the olive and almond trees, crosses the hills and leads the eye to the sea, while in conditions of maximum visibility the horizon reveals the distinctive presence of the two seas.
The property lies between San Corrado di Fuori and Lenzavacche, in a landscape still marked by farmhouses, dry-stone walls, Mediterranean crops and ancient country roads. Although immersed in nature, it retains a strong visual connection with Noto and the coast, offering a distinctive combination of privacy, views and proximity to the city.
The agricultural landscape includes almond groves, olive groves, arable land and tree-planted arable land. All plots belonging to the property, as well as the adjoining land, are cultivated using certified organic pest-control methods, helping to preserve the natural balance and agricultural identity of the landscape.
The value of this place lies not only in its size or views. This countryside is connected to the route of the ancient Regia Trazzera Noto–Palermo, one of the major roads that for centuries linked the Val di Noto with the heart of Sicily and its capital.
Along these roads travelled shepherds, flocks, merchants, travellers and couriers. The Regie Trazzere were not merely rural roads, but genuine territorial infrastructure: they connected cities, fiefs, farm estates, markets, stopping places and water sources.
Even today, this history can be read in the paths, paved sections, passages between dry-stone walls and roads following the contours of the hills. The property is therefore part of a landscape that is not merely natural, but deeply historical, shaped over the centuries by agriculture and movement between the city and its hinterland.
For water supply, the use of the shared well or the construction of a new well may be considered. The size of the land also makes it possible to envisage the orderly restoration of the existing crops, the creation of a Mediterranean garden or the development of an agricultural project connected with local produce.
This is a property for those seeking not simply land, but a place from which to observe and understand this part of Sicily: Noto in the distance, the sea beyond the countryside and, on the clearest days, the possibility of distinguishing the two great marine horizons of the Ionian and Mediterranean seas. Beneath one’s feet, there also remains the trace of a road that for centuries connected the south-east of the island with Palermo.
