Description
First Lion Agency is pleased to offer the exclusive sale of a farmhouse nestled in the pristine Salento countryside, just 5 minutes from Lecce and the sea at San Cataldo. This extraordinary historic residence dating back to the 17th century has been expertly renovated as a luxury resort. The property, with 500 square meters of indoor space and 25,000 square meters of surrounding parkland, is surrounded by native plants, prickly pears, fruit trees, palm trees, and flowers of all kinds, creating a heavenly setting of absolute tranquility. A masterpiece of Mediterranean design, restored by an expert Lecce architect, who has harmoniously combined natural stone with modern elements to create a unique atmosphere. Every corner of the farmhouse tells the story of its past splendor, offering comfort and refinement in a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The property comprises six elegant suites with private bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious, bright living room, and spacious outdoor areas. The suites are designed to offer a unique experience, divided into two distinct spaces. Two suites are located within the main building, while the other four extend to the sides, each with unique features that make it special. The suites, named Earth, Wood, Fire, and Metal, are inspired by natural elements and their energetic power, reflecting the harmony of Feng Shui. Each suite features carefully chosen colors and lighting, using local stone shaped to create unique atmospheres. The seamless integration of the Salento setting and the attention to detail contribute to a sense of balance between the interior spaces and the surrounding environment. Another distinctive aspect is the commitment to reclaiming materials, with particular emphasis on the 17th-century elm doors, which add a touch of history and authenticity to the property. Completing the experience are a majestic swimming pool, barbecue, and extensive green areas to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. The project, designed with energy efficiency in mind, includes photovoltaic systems, a mini-wind turbine, rainwater harvesting, and highly efficient materials for significant energy savings. Also perfect as a permanent residence, thanks to a pellet stove heating system, the Masseria represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a luxury home in a natural and tranquil setting, just steps from the historic and natural wonders of Salento.
