3 bedrooms farmhouse, 141 m²

Ostuni, Brindisi (province)

Itria Valley

An architectural masterpiece in the heart of Ostuni
A rare jewel between the Adriatic Sea and the White City

The property of unparalleled rarity is an authentic stone farmhouse ("Casolare") located a few steps from Ostuni's historic Piazza della Libertà. This abode offers an extraordinary dual perspective with views of the blue Adriatic Sea on one side and the iconic whitewashed skyline of Puglia's most famous city on the other.

The two-level dwelling is a perfect blend of rural tradition and signature interventions. The ground floor features cozy living , where the real protagonist is the connecting architectural element: a sculptural staircase signed by world-renowned architect Jean Claude Lesuisse. Famous for his organic architecture projects on the Emerald Coast, Lesuisse's distinctive intervention transforms the living space into a habitable work of art, harmoniously connecting the two levels of the house.
All the windows of the home, are living pictures, framing the wonderful views of Ostuni's historic center and the Adriatic Sea.

The ground floor houses the sophisticated living room, featuring Lesuisse's interventions, heated by a traditional stove; a spacious eat-in kitchen; a large master bedroom; a comfortable bathroom with tub; and functional storage solutions.

The upper floor, accessible via both the internal staircase, designed by Lesuisse, and a charming outdoor stone staircase, houses an additional bedroom, a study, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The outdoor spaces are articulated and offer several vantage points where to appreciate the incomparable views this property offers: the upper floor is crowned by a large panoramic terrace, while the kitchen opens onto a traditional pergola, perfect for long Mediterranean lunches in the shade.

The property is set in nearly an acre of terraced Mediterranean-style grounds. This private park is a botanical gallery of local flora and lush gardens of fragrant Mediterranean scrub, which conceal and guard historic treasures including: an ancient "Acquaro" (historic cistern); a natural cave (perfect as a wine cellar); and an original stone well.

The property is accessible through a characteristic rural lane, lined by typical dry stone walls. Two pedestrian accesses allow walking to the nearby Piazza della Libertà, 300 meters away, the beating heart of the town, full of stores, restaurants and bars.

The property is equipped with heating and has been renovated with bioecological materials, such as hemp lime, which coats the interior and exterior of the building, providing excellent insulation and breathability, is durable, impervious to mold and insects, and can guarantee high living comfort and soundproofing.
