Salento

Buying and renovating a farmhouse in the heart of the renowned Grecìa Salentina can be an extraordinary experience. This area of Salento is famous for its Greek tradition, its unique culture and its breathtaking landscapes.

This farmhouse of about sqm. 600 comprises a property of great historical charm and with amazing development potential, set on a plot of about 90,000 square meters. It consists of two main units: an ancient building with traditional architectural features and a more recent unit, dating back to the 1960s.

The ancient building includes 2 rooms.
First room: with a star vaulted ceiling, this room features an antique fireplace, a detail that adds an authentic and historic touch.
Second room: with  barrel vaulted ceiling and a stonefloor, which enhances the traditional atmosphere. This room is also embellished by an antique fireplace.
A large stone staircase leads to the terrace/roof top, from where you can enjoy apanoramic views on the surrounding countryside. From the room with a barrel vaulted ceiling you can access a portion of garden fenced by dry-stone walls, that is classic of rural buildings in Southern Italy. In this courtyard garden there are three large rooms with canopy ceilings, typical of local agricultural buildings, one of which has a picturesque living stone wall.

The most recent unit dates back to the 60s and consists of a flat vaulted barn, divided into two rooms. The first room is particularly bright, thanks to large windows on both sides, and has access to a small courtyard, also fenced by drywalls. The second room, with a flat vault, retains the typical austerity of the rural buildings of that period.
