Lecce, Lecce, Apulia, Italy

Strategically located just 3 km from the vibrant city centre of Lecce, this exceptional property offers an unrivalled opportunity for both tourism and residential development. Nestled within the esteemed topography of Lecce, as outlined on the map, the property is situated in the path of Lecce's regulatory and residential expansion (already extensively urbanised with essential infrastructure such as electricity, sewage, and water). Covering approximately 29 hectares, the site features an approved project by the esteemed Lecce City Council, detailing the establishment of a dispersed hotel and a thalassotherapy facility. Importantly, the current project occupies only 13 hectares of the total area.

For those seeking added allure, the property offers the potential to acquire an enchanting ancient masseria spanning nearly 1,000 square meters (requiring restoration), along with an additional 11 hectares of land (not included in the base sale price). Given its prime location within Lecce's urban environs, the property is primed for residential, hotel, or tourism ventures, precluding solar park developments. Merely minutes away from Lecce's city centre (3 km) and key attractions such as Piazza Mazzini in the new town and Piazza Sant'Oronzo in the historic district, the locale epitomises convenience and accessibility.

Salento, renowned for its enduring allure and burgeoning tourism sector, stands among the most globally coveted regions, celebrated not only for its famed seaside retreats but also for its artistic enclaves (particularly Lecce and various locales across the province) and bucolic landscapes adorned with diverse recreational, cultural, and agricultural amenities. Adjacent to San Cataldo and the WWF Oasis of the Cesine, both overseen by the Lecce Municipality, the property enjoys close proximity to Salento's premier coastal destinations including Gallipoli (45 km), Otranto (50 km), Porto Cesareo (39 km), Santa Maria di Leuca (76 km), and an array of other coastal gems like Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme, as well as the renowned Itria Valley, positioned approximately 80 km away (comprising Ostuni, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, etc.).
