Description
Nestled in the heart of the Salento countryside, just minutes from its most stunning beaches, this charming 1629 Masseria has been completely restored to offer an authentic and refined experience. The property covers a total indoor area of 713 sqm, featuring a 100 sqm infinity pool, a 160 sqm lodge, and a fascinating 300 sqm hypogeum olive mill, as well as an additional building in a rustic state.
The main structure, covering 713 sqm, is arranged in the typical L-shaped layout, surrounding a spacious courtyard. Currently used as a high-end hospitality venue, it is set within a beautiful 2,500 sqm Mediterranean garden, enriched with citrus trees, prickly pears, and vibrant flowers.
The entrance welcomes guests into a spacious living area, including a living room, dining room, kitchen, and two hallways, all with direct access to the external courtyard. The main residence, located on the same floor, comprises a large bedroom, a bathroom, a hallway, and a hobby room.
The sleeping area features six large double bedrooms, all with traditional vaulted ceilings and ensuite bathrooms. Each room has access to private outdoor spaces, shaded areas, and a dedicated outdoor breakfast area.
The 100 sqm infinity pool seamlessly blends modernity with tradition, offering a tranquil retreat with breathtaking panoramic views of the estate.
The Masseria is fully self-sufficient in terms of water supply, thanks to a private artesian well and a 100,000-liter cistern. Sustainability is ensured by a 13 kWh photovoltaic system with storage batteries, while an underground gas tank meets heating requirements.
A short distance from the Masseria, a recently renovated lodge offers a private and comfortable retreat. The complex includes two independent apartments, each with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, as well as a studio apartment.
One of the most captivating features of the property is the 300 sqm hypogeum olive mill, entirely carved into the soft rock. This underground structure is a historical testament to Presicce's 18th-century olive oil trade, maintaining a constant temperature of 17°C, ideal for the processing and preservation of olive oil.
Above the hypogeum mill lies an unfinished 120 sqm building, featuring traditional star-vaulted ceilings. This space can be converted into a guest house with a living room, large porch, and two bedrooms with private bathrooms.
The horse stables provide a perfect shelter for the estate's animals, while the surrounding woodland is ideal for sensory trails and yoga sessions in a pristine Mediterranean setting.
