1 bedroom trulli, 32 m² Alessano, Lecce (province) Salento
Main Features
Description
In one of the most authentic corners of the Salento, in Montesardo, a hamlet of the municipality of Alessano, a timeless rural charm is offered for sale. The property is located in via Nicnale Murge 21, right in front of the ancient rural complex of the Massarone, a strongly symbolic place for the local community, today recognized as an ecomuseum of the cultural landscapes of the Capo di Leuca. This complex, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, was originally a fortified farmhouse with agricultural and defensive functions, today restored and converted into an environmental education center, workshop and reference point for excursions and nature trails. The presence of Massarone gives the area a particular historical and cultural meaning, amplified by the context of Montesardo, a hamlet located on the top of one of the highest heights of the lower Salento, always crossroads of civilization. The territory retains important evidence of the Messapian and medieval civilization, such as the rock settlement of Macurano, where you can still admire underground oil stalls and rock excavated rooms. A few minutes away you reach the village of Alessano, one of the most fascinating in the province of Lecce, with its intact historic center, the aristocratic buildings and the baroque churches, including the splendid Collegiate Church of San Salvatore and the majestic Ducal Palace. The property for sale is a small liama, typical construction of the Salento rural landscape, with the characteristic masonry barrel vault. The building has an internal useful area of about thirty four square meters, enough to accommodate a living area with kitchenette, a bathroom and a double bedroom, all preserving the original structure intact, with thick walls and period architectural details. The liama is free on three sides, a rare condition that guarantees privacy, brightness and large customization margins. Access is directly by public road, but there is also a second, more private entrance, through the private garden. The access road is served by all the main connections: water supply, sewer, natural gas and electricity are already present, facilitating any renovation work and improving the daily living of the house. One of the most interesting elements of this proposal is the adjoining land, a large garden of about five hundred and seventy square meters, with a street front of about fifteen meters. This measure allows the easy construction of a drive-over gate, allowing you to easily park the cars inside the property. The garden lends itself to multiple uses: in addition to the parking, you can design a relaxation area surrounded by greenery, an outdoor dining area shaded by a pergola, or even a small swimming pool or a hot tub, perfect for those who dream of a private oasis to live throughout the season. The layout of the liama compared to the garden allows you to organize interior and outdoor spaces harmoniously, enhancing the connection between the house and the surrounding natural environment. The location is strategic for those who want to live immersed in the quiet of the Salento countryside without sacrificing the proximity of the towns and main services. The village of Montesardo is a place where time seems to have stopped, a small jewel that retains its authentic character, away from mass tourism but close to the most beautiful beaches of the Cape of Leuca, easily reached in a few minutes by car. Buying this property means recovering a piece of local history, investing in an authentic structure full of potential. La liama is the ideal solution for those looking for a shelter in the Salento, a second home to live in the summer or a widespread hospitality project to be inserted in the sustainable tourism network. The recovery work can be carried out respecting the traditional construction techniques, enhancing the stone, the tuff, the essential lines and the proportions of the typical Salento architecture. The interaction between the existing building and the outdoor space offers the opportunity to create a simple but comfortable home, set in a landscaped and cultural context of extraordinary value. Here time slows down, the landscape opens between olive groves and dry walls, and contact with nature becomes daily. Every detail recalls the tradition: the living stone, the barrel vault, the scent of the Mediterranean scrub, the sunsets that are lit behind the Massarone. Those who buy this property invest not only in a property, but in a story to tell and to live. Among the walls of this liama you can imagine a new life made of simplicity, authenticity and beauty, or a cozy tourist structure to share with those looking for authentic experiences in the heart of Salento.
