There is never an end to the incredible, not even when it comes to real estate ads. We thought we'd seen it all with bunkers, caves, deconsecrated churches and tombs, yet we changed our minds when we read a sale announcement on the pages of Immobiliare.it for a… penguin habitat!
It is a building plot, called Baia dei Penguini, inserted within the Zoom bio-park of Cumiana, a few steps from Turin. The area of over 1.000 square meters is currently home to a colony of South African penguins which, as the announcement says however, are not included in the offer.
The text of the advertisement is explicitly aimed at true lovers of nature and animals, yes because by continuing to read the advertisement you will find references even to those who will be the neighbors of the future buyer. Whoever buys this land will find themselves next to the Serengeti and Madagascar habitats, inhabited by giraffes, hippos, zebras and lemurs. A context defined as "exclusive, bright and surrounded by greenery".
The sale price is not known, what is known is that inside the bay there is already a 40 square meter room and 45 outbuildings for penguins. The land, continues the announcement, guarantees a breathtaking view of Bolder Beach, the beach of the biopark, and includes a private swimming pool surrounded by a pine forest and valuable shrubs.
If the negotiation on the cost is confidential, it is no secret that the area is immediately free for the deed. The biopark, asked to comment on the incredible announcement, confirmed the actual availability of the land, reassuring animal lovers about the fate of the penguins, who will be guaranteed another comfortable accommodation.
