Estate Caparedda

Estate Caparedda

Exclusive rustic property with magnificent views

In Nuoro, we offer an exclusive rustic property with historic buildings, in Località Caparedda, 1.5 km from the town centre.

Location

Estate Caparedda (about 6.3 hectares) is located on the slopes of Mount Ortobene, in a hilly area that is completely immersed in the lush greenery of Mediterranean vegetation. The magnificent dominant position of the property offers a spectacular view of the valley, from the town of Nuoro to Mount Ortobene.

Buildings

Several rural buildings (171 sqm in total) in the estate bear witness to the long history of the property, offering multiple possibilities for use. Among these, we find:

• ** House (61 sqm): a welcoming home consisting of four rooms: kitchen, dining-living area, bedroom and bathroom. The typical traditional architecture gives the house an authentic rustic charm combined with functionality. Maintained and cared for over time, the property is in a good structural state.
• ** Large room (80 sqm): a more recent reconstruction of an old sheepfold, consisting of a large single room with kitchenette and bathroom. The strong point of this building is the veranda along the whole front with a spectacular view of the valley. This property is also in a good structural and maintenance state.
• ** Roasting room (14 sqm): a small building with thick granite walls and Sardinian tile roofing. Today used as a warehouse, it is one of the oldest buildings on the estate (over a century of history).
• ** Chicken coop (16 sqm): a building that maintains the rustic architecture typical of Sardinian agricultural structures; it is made of concrete blocks with a sloping latero-cement roof.
• ** Pinnettu: undoubtedly the most characteristic building on the property. It is a circular construction (about 3.5 m in diameter) typical of the Sardinian pastoral tradition, today used as a tool shed.

Estate’s infrastructure

Many constant interventions since the end of the 19th century with buildings and ancillary works have allowed maintaining and improving the habitability and the rational management of the estate. Among the works, we find:

• – terracing system (about 2,000 sqm). Made with traditional techniques, it represents a splendid example of agricultural architecture integrated into the natural context of the mountain slopes.
• – private internal road system. A concrete driveway (about 400 m) connects the entrance gate on Strada Statale 129 to the centre of the property.
• – water management providing an excellent level of self-sufficiency. In fact, pumping systems and PEBD pipes manage the water supply of two practically perennial water sources in the estate. In particular, one of the sources provides water for civil uses, while the other source feeds a masonry storage tank of about 16 cubic metres, used for irrigation.
• – The estate is also connected to the public electricity system.

Quantity and quality of facilities in this estate, combined with its strategic position, make it suitable for various uses, both agricultural and residential or recreational.

Land and environmental context

A hilly morphology characterizes the whole property, with slopes reaching 35%, and gives the landscape a suggestive, wild atmosphere.

Wooded areas of holm oaks and cork oaks in the repopulation phase and in terraced portions perfectly integrate with the natural context. The terraces also offer many opportunities for growing orchards, vegetables or vineyards.

An uncontaminated natural environment surrounds the estate. In fact, a landscape that is rich in Mediterranean flora with a predominance of holm oaks and cork oaks perfectly integrates with a reforestation of pine trees (carried out in the 1970s).

Finally, the Riu Caparedda torrent, which crosses the land forming waterfalls and water games, creates a perfect sound atmosphere for those seeking a refuge away from the chaos of the city.

Urban planning

From an urban planning point of view, the area falls within the Municipal Urban Plan of Nuoro, in Zone H2 – Environmental and Landscape Protection, regulated pursuant to Article 32 of the Technical Implementation Standards.

Only low environmental impact agricultural crops and maintenance of existing buildings are permitted. For the buildings, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance and demolition/reconstruction interventions are permitted, according to the provisions of the Consolidated Law on Construction.

All buildings are compliant from an urban planning point of view. An expert report of the entire property is available upon request, with location, access, infrastructure, urban planning and overall valuation.

An exclusive property

The strategic location near Nuoro, the variety of buildings and lands and the environmental and historical value make this property a rare and of great value. The possibilities of use, in fact, are various: from the creation of a farm, to the conversion into a private residence immersed in nature, up to the development of activities related to agritourist or rural hospitality.
