Nestled in the Puglian countryside, just a few kilometers from the picturesque town of Gioia del Colle, stands a magnificent fortified masseria, a testament to centuries of history and local traditions. Its privileged location, at 400 meters above sea level, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, with the Adriatic and Ionian Seas just a short distance away. Access to the property is via a spacious courtyard, framed by the majestic facade of the main building, dating back to 1819. A typical arched entrance leads to the living units on the ground floor and the master suite on the first floor, as well as the cellars in the basement.
The inner courtyard, lined with storages and stables, is the vibrant heart of the masseria, where time seems to stand still. The structure, entirely made of limestone blocks, preserves the authentic charm of Puglian rurality. The vaulted ceilings, soaring to 4. 10 meters, the arched niches, and the ancient rainwater cisterns testify to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of yesteryear.
An enclosed ancient citrus grove, featuring a plaque dated 1863 and a delightful stone bench, adds a romantic touch to the landscape. The residential area extends over two floors, with spacious and evocative areas offering endless customization possibilities. The ground floor, approximately 240 sqm, and the first floor, approximately 317 sqm, house various living units, each with its unique character. The storage rooms and stables, covering approximately 1100 sqm, provide additional spaces to be enhanced.
The available residences are as follows: an independent unit located to the left of the entrance archway, housing 3 rooms on the ground floor (120 sqm); a second unit, accessed via a staircase in the inner courtyard, consists of 7 rooms on the first floor (137 sqm) plus a large terrace of 100 sqm; a third apartment, also independent, opens to the right of the entrance and comprises 2 rooms plus an external storage; a fourth is the master residence, accessed via a covered staircase to the right of the entrance, featuring 6 rooms on the first floor (180 sqm). Here, one can admire the ancient masonry kitchen, set in the fireplace area, and a huge living room at the center of the building. Completing the property is a small terrace of 30 sqm and a large terrace that spans the entire living area, offering panoramic views of the entire complex and the surrounding landscape. The masseria is surrounded by approximately 28,000 sqm of land
