Nestled in the Apulian countryside, this 18th-century farmhouse is a remarkable example of fortified rural architecture, offering over 2,700 sqm of interior space and surrounded by 20 hectares of parkland, arable fields, and a sprawling olive grove. An arched entrance leads to a courtyard dominated by the main building, flanked by trulli and historic agricultural structures, while a panoramic swimming pool, private chapel, and modern photovoltaic system blend historical charm with contemporary comfort. Located in Alto Salento, the estate provides easy access to Ostuni and the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, set amidst ancient olive groves, dry stone walls, and timeless villages. Its origins date back to before 1727, and the property has witnessed centuries of local history, including brigandage in post-unification Italy. The architecture preserves authenticity, with a square main building featuring cross-vaulted interiors, thick stone walls, and ancillary lodgings that can be converted into independent rooms. The estate’s 20-hectare park, historic garden, and outbuildings, including trulli and a disused church, create a serene, private environment. Ideal as a luxurious residence or charming accommodation, this property combines Puglia’s agricultural heritage with proximity to Ostuni, Lecce, and the Salento coastline, offering a unique investment in an enchanting Italian setting.
