Borgagne (hamlet in the municipality of Melendugno) – Lecce
In the heart of Borgagne's historic centre, one of Salento's most picturesque villages, we offer for sale an old courtyard house measuring approximately 460 sqm, complete with a garden and building land on the rear side.
This property is one of the oldest in Borgagne. The courtyard dates back to the 1700s and the adjacent house to the early 1900s. Both properties have 4.5-metre-high ceilings and typical star vaults in Lecce stone. Depending on the intended use, the property can be sold as a single entity or as two separate units.
The courtyard itself is about 120 sqm and around it there are four rooms on the ground floor and an additional room in a small tower on the first floor. In addition to these, there are two other rooms that have to be rebuilt.
The adjacent house, which was used as the village nursery school in the 1950s, has a large entrance hall and six bright rooms, one of which features an antique Lecce stone fireplace.
The property is embellished by a rear garden measuring about 200 sqm, which is connected to an 800 sqm plot of land that provides a second entrance to the property from the parallel street, Via Venezia.
Renovation work has already begun inside the property, including the removal of flooring and plaster from the perimeter walls and vaults in the house adjacent to the courtyard building, while renovation work on the latter is at a more advanced stage as the systems are already in place.
Thanks to its historical features, the property could certainly become a prestigious private residence, or given its proximity to Salento's most beautiful beaches, a tourist accommodation facility. Borgagne is just 5 km from the seaside locations of Torre dell'Orso, Sant'Andrea and Conca Specchiulla, and a few kilometres from Otranto and other wonderful tourist destinations on the Adriatic coast. The property is 30 km from Lecce, 50 km from Gallipoli, and 80 km from Brindisi Airport.
