Description
In the heart of Salento, surrounded by ancient olive groves and Mediterranean scents, lies this extraordinary charming residence: a historic masseria dating back to 1850, beautifully restored through an architectural project that harmoniously blends its original soul with refined and essential contemporary aesthetics.
Every detail, from the wooden triple-glazed windows to the terrazzo floors with radiant heating/cooling system, has been meticulously designed to provide maximum comfort, energy efficiency, and timeless beauty. The restoration and extension work, entrusted to an international firm with the support of local artisans, has transformed the entire estate into an exclusive residential retreat, already featured in international design and architecture magazines.
The property stands on a plot of approximately 16,000 sqm, including around 3,000 sqm of landscaped gardens with English lawn, fruit trees, and an automated organic vegetable garden. The swimming pool, with lounge area and BBQ space, overlooks a convivial zone designed for relaxation and entertainment. A charming internal courtyard connects the different buildings, ensuring harmonious living in every season.
Inside, there are five double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, furnished with natural materials, custom-made furniture, and elegant design details. Some rooms retain original Lecce stone vaulted ceilings, while others open onto the garden or central courtyard, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
The living room is a bright, cozy space—perfect year-round thanks to a central fireplace and wide sliding glass doors that open to the garden. The kitchen is a true gourmet space: stainless steel countertops, premium fittings, sparkling water dispenser, extensive work surfaces, and professional-grade equipment make it ideal for entertaining.
A photovoltaic system with storage batteries and solar thermal panels ensures near-total energy independence, reducing CO2 emissions by 85%. A private 90-meter well provides potable water, filtered and UV-sterilized. Natural lime plasters and ecological paints guarantee breathable, healthy indoor air.
The location is strategic: private yet well-connected, close to Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto, and the most sought-after beaches in Salento. Ideal as a private luxury residence or a high-end hospitality venue, already equipped to welcome discerning international guests.
Sold fully furnished.
