Carovigno, Brindisi, Apulia, Italy

For sale is an imposing fortified farmhouse dating back to 1870 located in the countryside of Carovigno, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and a short distance from the sea.
The masseria has retained its original structure; it is in fact made up of several factory blocks, some of them more recent, that in the past met the various needs of those who lived and worked there. The manor house, with access through a fortified courtyard, is spread over two levels and represents the main unit, the noble part destined for the private residence of the owners, characterised by numerous rooms with splendid vaulted ceilings, courtyards and various areas used for work activities; Adjacent to the main house is a rich citrus grove, the stables and the hayloft; two large sheds, a two-storey building both used for agriculture and livestock breeding, complete the main body of the manor house; lastly, there is the original farmyard and four silos that bear witness to the ancient grain storage technique.
The land, of enormous dimensions, is cultivated with centuries-old and young olive groves, orchards, almond groves, arable land, Mediterranean scrub and woodland. The entire complex lends itself to becoming a large and cosy receptive activity with guaranteed success, given the great popularity of the Apulia region in terms of tourism.
