This property is the ideal choice for those looking for:

– an income-generating property with summer rentals.

The architecture of the Masseria and the panoramic views from the same are of rare beauty, rich in the colors typical of Puglia: the blue of the sky, the intense red of the earth, the dark green of the olive trees, the dazzling white of the lime.

The Masseria has almost all the interiors with star or pavilion vaults and retains in many rooms the original floors with the characteristic tiles cement.

Outside the farm, defensive towers, courtyards, the sheepfold, an old wood-burning oven, caves and terraces, characterize the architecture of the building.

The property, partially renovated, is currently divided into two buildings, all with stone vaults.

The main building, taking advantage of the terracing of the land is divided into two levels. On the ground floor there is a large storage room with star vaults and stone floor, consisting of 4 rooms. A staircase leads to the floor above the first two rooms for storage, where there is a room with terrace. On the mezzanine floor, there is a living room, a large kitchen, with exit to the rear courtyard, a bathroom, the staircase leading to the terrace and a large bedroom. On the same level and adjacent there are two storage rooms, a bathroom and an old oven.

The secondary building, a few meters from the main one, from which it is separated by a characteristic small courtyard, consists of five large rooms (two of which renovated) and a large panoramic terrace at the level.

On the floor below the secondary building there are storage rooms carved into the rock and a courtyard, which probably housed in the past a citrus grove. Adjacent to the building a large sheepfold, now used as storage.

On a terraced part of the land in front of the building is the swimming pool, surrounded by fruit trees and plants typical of the Mediterranean.

The property has a covered area of about 450 square meters; there is the possibility of expanding the existing volumes by 20%, taking advantage of the house floor.
