This historic masseria for sale near Lecce, in Puglia, is a testament to 17th-century architectural artistry. Meticulously restored between 2008 and 2010, it majestically stands among ancient olive groves, prickly pears, citrus trees of various species, and a variety of fruit trees, immersing itself in the enchanting landscape of the Ruffano countryside, at an elevation of 127 meters above sea level. The central body of this masseria is a fortified tower that once served as the main nucleus around which a small agricultural community developed. This historic complex includes rooms for laborers, an ancient stone oven, and enclosed internal gardens devoted 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 rooms, the masseria offers a spacious breakfast room, a generous lounge, and a well-equipped porch, ideal for enjoying summer periods. The porch overlooks a vast garden, bordered by a lush olive grove and featuring a stunning 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 Puglia's tradition.
This masseria is located in the heart of Salento, offering an excellent position to explore some of the region's most charming art cities, as well as to reach the beautiful beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. Lecce, with its Baroque architecture, is just a short distance away, along with towns such as Otranto, Gallipoli, and Santa Maria di Leuca. The nearest airports are those of Brindisi and Bari, both easily accessible for international travelers. This masseria represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Puglian history and experience the charm of ancient Salento countryside with all modern comforts
