The ‘Terre D’Irsina’ Italian Property Development Project:

Village Property Italy
The aim of ‘Terre D’Irsina’ project, which was designed by private property developers in conjunction with the local city council, is to turn this enchanting historical village into a getaway for those seeking quiet, tranquility and a magical retreat from the chaos of everyday life. Added to this is ease of access: there are three international airports within close proximity of Terre D’Irsina.

The Terre D’Irsina project is an innovative one that seeks to combine the attraction for foreign home buyers of a rural and uncontaminated location steeped in tradition and history with the benefits the purchases will generate for the local, mainly agriculture-based, economy. For the potential acquirer, Terre D’Irsina means combining traditional Mediterranean hospitality, weather and holidays with an attractive pricing structure that over time will prove to be an excellent investment.

Village culture of Italy - statue in square The town of Terre D’Irsina and its surrounding areas offer infinite rural and cultural activities centred around the many local traditions, gastronomical delicacies and wines. For those seeking a relaxed occupation beyond that offered by the village and its traditional activities, heading to the nearby beach or soaking in the nearby thermal baths or embarking on exciting culinary or wine discoveries are an attractive option.

The external restructuring of the medial hamlet has been promoted by the local city council over the years and this will be followed by the internal restoration works to be carried out on each house that is purchased.

Tourism in Italy:

The Italian peninsula has attracted foreigners ever since the eighteenth century, as James Joyce, Lord Byron and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe remind us. Each corner of the country offers delicacies for the intellect, the body and the soul to savour. The nation's artistic and cultural heritage is evident not only in museums but also in the streets and in every-day life.

Metaponto Beach near Irsina Italy The outstanding architecture, the artistic heritage, the thermal baths, the enchanting seashores, the skiing resorts, and the gourmet food and wine are among the infinite attractions that entice many a visitor every day. Each region has its own specialties and characteristics, and while some are more well known than others, each is unique and has something very special to call its own.

Views from Irsina Southern Italy The Project managers are committed using only local workers as part of the restoration process in order to let the buyers put back into the community as much as they are getting out of it by purchasing a lovely home in Southern Italy at a low cost price.

Terre D’Irsina is in a delightful area of Italy that is sprinkled with castles, aristocratic palazzos and delightful locations soaked in history and tradition, ridged with hills and valleys and marked by the ancient trails. The lands surrounding Terre D’Irsina are completely intact, untouched by the massive urbanization and industrialization common to most rural areas in Italy and Europe today. Here, visitors can wander around and re-discover ancient worlds, visit abbeys and monasteries reminiscent of times gone by, enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine and wine, bask in the sun, and fill their time with exciting sports and cultural activities. This combination of factors make Terre D’Irsina a unique holiday location where home buyers can go to switch off and recharge their batteries.

Discovering Southern Italy:

Southern Italy still today remains a land virtually untouched by mass tourism
with many of its delightful locations still to be discovered by holidaymaker's.

Metaponto Beach Italians in the second half of the 20th century, particularly from the 1960s on, developed a passion for seaside and mountain resorts and never thought to venture inland for holidays. The result has been that magical retreats like Irsina have been largely ignored. While mountain and thermal tourism has started to develop in recent years, rural tourism in Italy still has to be very much put on the map. There are some areas, for example Chianti in Tuscany and parts of Umbria, where foreign ownership and patronage have made certain locations extremely fashionable. Non- Italian buyers kick started the process by selecting prime real estate in towns and villages which today have become very sought-after locations.

Irsina Italian village Property Unsatisfactory plane, train and road connections are another reason why rural tourism in the South escaped the mainstream holiday-maker for many years. This is no longer the case [see below]; investors and vacationers are starting to look at Southern Italy with different eyes as a result of recent and noticeable improvements in all three (particularly in low-cost airlines that have turned what were once remote areas into easily accessible ones, even from abroad.)

Terre D’Irsina escaped the industrialization and urbanization common to many other attractive holiday locations in Italy and Europe also because its enlightened local city council actively sought to promote its economy by fostering intelligent tourism and by protecting the town's environment and its cultural and artistic heritage. In fact, the mayor and the local city council are aiming to restore and rekindle life into the medieval hamlet and energize its economy, while at the same time preserve the town's architectural, gastronomical and cultural traditions.

Small square in Italian village The houses and apartments being sold will remain true to the hamlet's old world style and rely as much as possible on original materials and architecture, yet at the same time are relatively inexpensive and extremely attractive for their price. Above all, foreign home buyers and tourists are welcomed by locals and by the town council for their contributions to the economy and to the preservation of the village.

Terre D’Irsina is an agricultural town, formerly an important Byzantine fortified hamlet, built on the Bradano river on the border between the region of Basilicata and Puglia. The town boasts an important 13th Century cathedral which was partly rebuilt at the end of the 18th Century and the remains of a Norman castle which have since been incorporated into the crypt of the former monastery of San Francesco.

The medieval hamlet is a starting point for numerous activities and attractions, for thousands of itineraries ranging from those focusing on medieval archeology, thermal baths, wine buying, production and tasting, to those wishing to learn more about traditional arts like cooking, ceramics and needlepoint.

Medieval village properties in Italy In buying and visiting Terre D’Irsina, visitors and home buyers have the added bonus of knowing that they will be helping keep these traditions alive. Terre D’Irsina is a wonderful context in which home buyers and vacation-goers can go to relax and enjoy their spare time. They stand to benefit from the peace and quiet and the relaxed country living to just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Children are especially welcome, as they are traditionally in Italian life. The locals are a well of information and support for visitors and new home-buyers who want to discover things.

The local “feste'” and “sagre” (festivities) include events centred around gourmet specialties and wine tasting and bridge the generations to reflect the community spirit inherited from the days when townsfolk of different families and ages would join forces to harvest wheat and grapes. Here, visitors and home buyers are able to enjoy the gastronomical traditions of local culinary artisans and partake in eating habits that are among Europe's most discerning and most healthy.

Terre D’Irsina: A Medieval Hamlet in Basilicata:

Irsina Village House Italy - property for sale in Italy Terre D’Irsina is a 6,500-strong town and is dominated by its Cathedral which dates back to the 13th century. The town is a bustling, Italian village which enjoys the leisurely pace common to all of Southern Italy and the high quality of life afforded by beautiful weather and good food. Terre D’Irsina is surrounded by idyllic countryside interspersed with rivers, lakes, fields, woods and archeological ruins. It's origins are lost in the mists of time, and the town and the areas around it are dotted with archeological remains dating back to ancient Rome and beyond.

History has helped mould the gastronomical customs of the area. Most of the typical mouthwatering dishes are based on home-grown agricultural produce, meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables. Age-old recipes passed down through generations are still prevalent today and are founded on the traditions of the healthy Mediterranean diet. Local wines are also an important attraction.

Terre D’Irsina is structurally a labyrinth of ancient palazzos, rustic ironwork, marble stairways and engravings. The houses have thick stone walls designed to seal cold or warm air in, making the internal ambiance more comfortable depending on the season. Its wine cellars, meandering medieval passageways, chiselled entranceways, marble engravings, sun-kissed courtyards and rooftops are a snapshot of a bygone area.
