HISTORIC DREAM ESTATE: TRULLI COMPLEX AND ANNEX ON NEARLY 2 HECTARES


Location and Potential: Set in the heart of a beautiful estate spanning nearly two hectares (approx. 18,000 sq m or 4.45 acres), this unique property is ideal for those seeking an authentic and large-scale restoration project. The complex comprises two separate units, ensuring versatility and privacy.

The Main Residence (Trulli Complex): The main building is a fascinating complex of five large cones and one smaller cone, offering a perfect blank canvas for restoration:

Traditional Interiors: Inside, you will find an entrance/living room with an adjoining trullo featuring a traditional fireplace, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.

Great Kitchen Potential: A large section composed of two trulli is ready to be transformed into your spacious, custom-designed eat-in kitchen.

Historic Detail: Adjacent, but not communicating with the interior, an external room houses an ancient wood-fired oven, perfect for reviving local culinary traditions.

The Second Unit (Potential Annex/Guesthouse): On the opposite side of the entrance drive, there is a large stone-built room with a fireplace, plus two additional ancient trulli. This structure is a superb opportunity to create a magnificent guesthouse or rental unit, subject to verifying the possibility of changing its intended use.

Condition and Period Features: The property boasts excellent structural condition, having been used as a summer residence until a few years ago. Its true value lies in the original features just waiting to be restored to their former glory:

Stunning original Chianche flooring (local stone).

Original lime-washed plaster on the walls and original internal doors.

Requires utility system upgrades, offering the chance to install modern systems, including state-of-the-art heating/cooling.

Vast Outdoors and Land:

18,000 sq m (4.45 acres) of mostly flat land.

The front section, formerly a vineyard, is now used as a seasonal vegetable garden. The rear section features mature olive and fruit trees.

The property is entirely enclosed by dry-stone walls with a vehicular access gate and long driveways leading to paved courtyards in front of the buildings.
