Exclusive Art Nouveau Villa for Sale in Puglia: A Historic Liberty Estate Near Castel del Monte

Nestled within the serene Puglian countryside, just minutes from the vibrant town of Corato and the scenic road leading to the iconic UNESCO World Heritage site of Castel del Monte, stands an extraordinary early 20th-century residence that captures the very essence of Italian elegance. This enchanting Art Nouveau villa represents a rare opportunity for those seeking a prestigious historic property for sale in Italy, perfectly blending heritage, nature, and immense development potential. Set within a magnificent private park of approximately four hectares, the estate is a Mediterranean sanctuary where olive groves, vineyards, and orchards harmonize with ancient pine trees and shaded retreats, offering an idyllic setting for a life of absolute privacy and refined well-being.
The villa spans three levels with a generous floor area exceeding 635 square meters, characterized by spacious, light-filled rooms that retain the grandeur of a noble era. A majestic tree-lined driveway leads to the main entrance, which is notably designed to be barrier-free, providing easy access to the heart of the home: a sophisticated frescoed salon that serves as the villa's primary reception space. On the raised ground floor, the sleeping quarters consist of four large bedrooms, several of which still boast their original period frescoes, served by three well-appointed bathrooms. To the right of the entrance, the living area invites authentic conviviality with a dining room featuring a classic fireplace, a traditional masonry kitchen, and a spacious pantry. From the main hall, one can access both the 70-square-meter cellar—a versatile space ready to be transformed into a luxury spa or wine-tasting room—and the upper floor, which houses a private fifth bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
A standout architectural feature of this luxury estate is the characteristic turret with its own independent entrance. This privileged vantage point overlooks the lush grounds and, through a careful restoration, could become an exclusive master suite with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. To the rear of the villa, a former citrus grove and a room awaiting renovation face an expansive 140-square-meter area where an excavation is already prepared for the construction of a custom swimming pool. This historic Italian villa for sale is a true rarity for international investors looking for a high-end property in Puglia, whether as an elite private residence or a boutique charm hotel. Its strategic location between Corato, Trani, and the Murgia National Park further enhances its appeal as a profitable long-term investment.
