The main secret of the attractiveness of Sardinia for the wealthy and the fact that it is one of the five "blue regions" of the Earth - places with an abnormally high percentage of long-livers.
The environment adjusts any biological clock to the desired mode, and they tick tickingly up to 90-100 years. Gerontologists have not really figured out what the secret is, but agree on the thesis about a unique combination of nature, water and the Mediterranean diet.That's just to make the time go back, you need to go to Sardinia regularly. There is no shortage of those who want to find a second youth, and, sooner or later, renting a villa translates into a desire to look after something in the property.
Naturally. Super
There are other aggravating circumstances affecting the price per square meter (it’s worth getting ready for expenses from 1 to 15+ million euros for a villa ranging in size from 250 m). Costa Smeralda, where the concentration of millionaires goes to the record record, managed to preserve naturalness. This place was threatened with becoming a millionaire reservation - but the danger was over. And today millionaires are ready to pay for this organic matter and simplicity - carefully verified and safe for the train.How, despite the waves of large investments and ambitions that hit the rocky shores for more than half a century, the island managed to maintain authenticity? After longevity, the second Sardinian miracle. The secret is that proud sards (in the past - severe shepherds and pirates) immediately limited the development fantasies of the newcomers to their sense of beauty. Until now, it consists in the fact that each building must conform to the "natural" Sardinian style and almost blend with the landscape.
Prince Aga Khan bought a 55 km long coastal strip in the northeast in 1960, where he created the Emerald Coast resort for a narrow circle of friends, inviting the dream team of the best architects in the world. Jacques Kuell and his companions developed the famous "organic" style of Sardinia, linking local architectural traditions and fashionable bionics at that time. In accordance with him and build to this day.
In the nineties, Russian oil heavyweights joined the European “dolce vita” - Alisher Usmanov bought as many as seven villas, between which his 110-meter boat runs. Following us in search of a better life (the Index of exceptional longevity was assigned to Sardinia in the 2000s), the Arabs were tired of the sands and the Chinese were suffocated by smog.
But something has remained unshakable: the integrity of local municipalities. The issue of the purpose of the land plot is decided, referring to the maps of the XIX century; security zone is almost everywhere here. Architects are obliged by the natural environment - to “thrust” something dissonant to the capricious landscape will not be possible for any money. At the end of 2017 on the coast, news number one was the refusal of the Arzakena commune to a major investor from the UAE. The reason is too high, too much glass.
The authorities are well aware that once the spoiled view drops in price the whole district, so they carefully monitor the movement of funds and the embodiment of building permits. Extra step or not specified window in the project?
Make them demolish and redo. Therefore, de facto, almost all developers are local. Although there are no formal restrictions, only they can deal with the capricious genius of the place.
Real estate values
The local developer is the only key with which you can, sooner or later, open the door of your own villa. They are in Sardinia, one after the other - like the land on which construction is still possible.Choosing an object in Sardinia, at first you can get lost in the abundance of the proposed options. On closer examination, it becomes clear that villas built 20 or more years ago are on display. Accordingly, it will take a serious amount for renovation - it starts from 3-4 thousand euros per sq. M. “Today it makes sense to buy housing either new or not older than 10 years. - advises the representative of the development company Villegium Marco Ferrario.
Secrets of ownership
Traditionally, the most expensive real estate in Italy is concentrated in large cities (Rome, Milan, Naples), along the shores of the famous lakes Como and Garda, in sea and mountain resorts. The price ranges from 3200 euros per square meter in the resorts of Valle d'Aosta to 1000 euros in rural Calabria. Sardinia, with its average check of 3200 per square meter, seems to occupy a middle ground, but the situation varies greatly depending on the region. On the Costa Smeralda cost "square" starts from 5 thousand euros. At the same time, a significant part of the offer here is villas, and their “square” only starts from 15 thousand.“If there is an intention to make a sound investment, you need to come to Sardinia and live here at least a few weeks to understand the specifics of the place. - recommends Ferrario. - Italy is a country of pronounced regionalism, but in Sardinia it is doubly true: the landscape and the character of the place can radically change within a radius of 1-2 km. All this determines the price. For example, one of the objects we are realizing - surrounded by its own park of design-villa Perla in Baia Sardinia - has a unique panoramic view of almost 360 ”
