Historic Masseria for Sale in Puglia: A Seventeenth-Century Estate Reimagined for Luxury Hospitality or Private Use
In the heart of the Murgia plateau, on the border between Puglia and Basilicata and just steps from the iconic Via Peuceta of the Cammino Materano, this exceptional fortified masseria from the 17th century offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Italian heritage. Masterfully restored with respect for its original architecture, the property blends historic charm with modern refinement, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
Surrounded by unspoiled countryside, ancient olive trees, vineyards and open fields, the estate tells a story that lives in every stone. Remnants of a private chapel, original defensive walls and underground chambers coexist harmoniously with contemporary interiors enhanced by authentic materials and carefully curated finishes.
Now operating as a prestigious hospitality venue, the masseria spans multiple levels. The ground floor features a reception area, two restaurant dining rooms, a professional kitchen and utility areas. The first floor is dedicated to the guest rooms, each one meticulously renovated to preserve the spirit of the structure while ensuring modern comfort. The upper level hosts service quarters and storage spaces. Enhancing the property's appeal are two stunning event halls - the elegant Sala Cupola, with its frescoed dome and oval architecture, and the spacious, light-filled Sala Templari. A consecrated chapel, covered porticoes and landscaped outdoor areas complete the picture, offering the perfect setting for weddings, corporate retreats or exclusive gatherings.
This masseria stands as a prime example of how historical preservation can meet contemporary design. Its strategic location - immersed in nature yet close to Altamura, Matera and major transport routes - adds further value to this already unique offering. Whether envisioned as a luxury boutique hotel, a wellness retreat, or a distinguished private residence, this property represents a compelling investment opportunity in one of Southern Italy's most culturally rich and visually stunning regions.
