This masseria for sale near Lecce in Puglia is a historic testament to 17th-century architectural art. Meticulously restored between 2008 and 2010, it stands majestically amidst centuries-old olive groves, prickly pear cacti, various citrus trees, and a variety of fruit trees, all set against the enchanting backdrop of the Ruffano countryside, 127 meters above sea level. The central structure of this farmhouse is a fortified tower that once served as the main nucleus around which a small farming community developed. This historic complex includes quarters for the settlers, an ancient stone oven, and enclosed inner gardens dedicated to citrus cultivation. The main house boasts six bedrooms, some standard and others superior, each equipped with air conditioning, heating, a minibar, and a private bathroom. In addition to the bedrooms, the farmhouse offers a spacious breakfast room, a generous lounge, and a well-appointed porch, perfect for enjoying the summer months. The porch opens onto an expansive garden, adjacent to a lush olive grove and featuring a splendid swimming pool. During their stay, guests have the opportunity to purchase extra virgin olive oil produced directly by the farm, ensuring an authentic taste of Apulian tradition. This masseria is situated in the heart of Salento, offering an excellent base for exploring some of the region's most captivating art cities and reaching the beautiful beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. Lecce, with its Baroque architecture, is just a short drive away, along with towns like Otranto, Gallipoli, and Santa Maria di Leuca. The nearest airports are in Brindisi and Bari, both easily accessible for international travelers. This farmhouse represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Apulian history and experience the charm of the ancient Salento countryside with all modern comforts.
