"Bourbon Legacy in the Heart of San Martino - Sacred Rebirth and Family Altruism"


In the enchanting San Martino farmhouse, a hilltop village in Solopaca nestled among the Taburno vineyards, Ametis Real Estate Agency offers for sale this important property located in a historic 18th-century building. Built from local stone with carved portals and shaded courtyards, the building, begun around 1750 by Count Zotti, a trusted courtier in Naples in the service of Charles III of Bourbon-an enlightened king who embellished the kingdom with works of faith and progress-evokes the Bourbon era of winemaking prosperity, an investment where history and wine mature together.


What we are selling: master apartment on the second and top floor, free on three sides, with a large terrace above and access to the attic. The property has an L-shaped layout, is classified as category A/2 (civil dwelling), and has eight rooms covering a total cadastral area of 214m2.


The internal layout, best illustrated by the floor plan, is as follows: from the private landing, the apartment can be accessed through two different doors, one leading to the living room and the other to the hallway/corridor. On the left side of the living room is a double bedroom, on the right side a dining room, followed by a bathroom, an eat-in kitchen with a veranda, a walk-through bedroom/study, and a final double bedroom with a balcony overlooking the greenery. From the balcony, an external iron staircase leads to the large terrace above and the attic. The total cadastral area of this floor is 160 square meters. On the ground floor, the entrance level to the building, there is a cellar and a storage room/tavern with two accesses, one from the outside and one from the shared foyer. On the mezzanine floor, halfway up the stairs, there is a storage room. Adjacent to the building via a separate driveway is a large storage unit used as a garage/covered parking space with a cellar behind it, totaling 67 sq m. Above the storage unit is a private terrace connected to a private green area that extends behind the property and shares approximately 2,000 sq m of land with the first-floor unit. The property also includes an undivided internal courtyard.


This property preserves and embodies the resilient soul as well as altruism through the family motto that was engraved above the door: "Post Fata Resurgo" (After fate, I rise again) and "Sibi et Aliis Plus Aliis Quam Sibi" (For oneself and for others, more for others than for oneself), symbolized by a regal phoenix that evokes rebirth and Christian altruism, perhaps inspired by Saint Martin who protected the poor with his cloak.


The adjacent Church of San Martino, a parish church dating back to 1728 with neoclassical frescoes and baroque statues, has always been considered by the family as an extension of the residence for rituals and charitable purposes.
