Description
First Lion offers for sale a prestigious historic home located in the heart of Tuglie, a charming village in Salento just a few kilometers from the enchanting beaches of Gallipoli. Built in 1822 by one of the most influential women of the time, both in terms of importance and land ownership, the property represents a perfect combination of historical charm, architectural sophistication, and potential for enhancement. The property extends over approximately 700 square meters of indoor space, spread over two levels and completed by a large, exclusive panoramic terrace. The property has two separate entrances: a driveway leading through the garden, which currently houses a relaxation area and private parking, and a pedestrian entrance on the ground floor, originally used as the main entrance. The latter leads directly to a frescoed courtyard, which leads to the monumental internal staircase and, just beyond, to the central courtyard, which opens onto the various rooms of the building. From here, you enter the main living room with a fireplace, one of the most representative and charming spaces in the entire residence. A portion of the property, approximately 200 square meters, has been carefully restored, preserving its original features. The first floor features five charming bedrooms, two majestic halls, a hallway, and five bathrooms, while the ground floor comprises a large living room with a kitchen, a laundry area, a pantry, and an additional bathroom. These rooms are currently used as a hospitality business, generating immediate income. The remaining area, approximately 500 square meters, is in need of renovation and offers extensive customization options, allowing the buyer to expand their existing hospitality business or transform these spaces into a prestigious private residence. This section includes nine bedrooms located on the same level as the renovated area, two apartments, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, and two pre-installed bathrooms, with the possibility of creating additional bathrooms based on project requirements. In addition to these rooms, the property also includes an apartment with a separate entrance from the street, requiring complete renovation. It consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom in its original state, as well as an additional room that could be converted into a second bathroom. This apartment still retains its original internal doors, an element of great historical value. Also on the ground floor, the frescoed courtyard leads to another apartment requiring renovation, consisting of four bedrooms. Among the features that make this property truly unique are numerous perfectly preserved original details, such as the mosaic floors, the interior doors and period fixtures, the wall decorations both inside and on the façade, the ancient paving stones, and the historic mangers that testify to the farmhouse's original agricultural vocation. There's also provision for an elevator, a rare feature that further enhances the property's value and comfort. This is an extraordinary opportunity for those looking to invest in a charming residence in the authentic heart of Salento.--6828311712898d81a9d2e5343811ed7a!
