SQUINZANO - LECCE - SALENTO
In Squinzano, the land of wine a few km from Lecce, we are pleased to offer for sale an ancient Art Nouveau style palace dating back to 1900 for a total of 1600 sqm on two levels, ground floor and first floor, with an adjoining private garden.
On the first floor, the palace consists of the elegant residence, while on the ground floor there are two large rooms once used as a factory, a large garage and a series of small independent houses located laterally with respect to the main building.
The ground floor, measuring 1,100 sqm in total, has two accesses from the street front and other two from the internal courtyard. The floor is characterized by high ceilings and characteristic star vaults; furthermore, thanks to the large size, it is possible to change the intended uses of the spaces based on the multiple purposes of use.
Inside the garage, of about 86 sqm, there are still the ancient millstones, the collection tanks, the ancient wine-making equipment and the large oak barrels, all of them precious historical elements that evoke sensations of times gone by.
A large staircase embellished with handcrafted floors and a wrought iron railing leads to the first floor, of about 500 sqm, where we are welcomd by large, bright sitting rooms with wonderful paintings still in good condition. Overall the floor is consists of 12 rooms, including 3 bedrooms, one bathroom and various other rooms, all with star and barrel vaults.
The entire property requires renovation work. However, recently, it has been the subject of consolidation works.
The private garden, of about 600 sqm, is located at the back of the building, and it can be accessed both from the rooms on the ground floor and from the residence on the first floor through a staircase.
Historical elements such as the frescoes, the cement tiles, the star vaults, the majestic staircase, the oil mill and the large garden certainly make this palace such a unique property.
Squinzano is about 10 km from the Adriatic Sea, 13 km from Lecce and 30 km from Brindisi Airport.
