Description
Frigole, Lecce, Apulia
Located halfway between Lecce and its Marinas of Frigole and Torre Chianca, D'Amico Immobliare offers you for sale this historic Masseria of 2000sqm within a 43-hectare plot of land with a semi-hypogean oil mill.
Masseria Papa, as it was called in the past, is a historic rural-productive complex located in the fascinating countryside of Lecce, dotted with pajare, liame, small Mediterranean's woods and settlements that recall the fervent agricultural activities of the past.
This Masseria, in particular, houses in its main body a large area once used as a semi-hypogean oil mill, with barrel vaults, stone millstones and small cisterns, dug into the rock, used to store oil. Next to the oil mill room are numerous rooms, which served as storerooms or dormitories, also characterised by beautiful star vaults and walls of local tuff.
The complex is completed by six other rustic buildings arranged in a courtyard in front of the main body, some of which were used as cattle sheds in the past and are roofless due to the deterioration of the old wooden roofs.
A Masseria brimming with the ancient charm of the Salento countryside, and at the same time immersed in an atmosphere suspended in time between today's tranquility and the fervour of its past.
The unique structure, together with its position and the history handed down by the masseria, make it ideal for both luxury living and for receptive-agritourism purposes, thanks also to the ample availability of land directly pertaining to the masseria.
THE LOCATION
The Masseria is about 12km from the centre of Lecce, and a 10-minute drive from the marinas of Torre Chianca and Frigole. With regard to airports, however, the property is just over 50km from Brindisi's Salento Airport and just under 2 hours' drive from Bari's Karol Wojtila Airport.
This historic Masseria with semi-hypogean oil mill is located in the municipality of Lecce, Puglia.
Lecce is known as the Florence of the south, due to its typically 17th-century architectural appearance. Lecce lives on from prehistoric times, to the first civilisations, to the Middle Ages, to the Baroque, in the midst of traditions that have been handed down to the present day.
The city has very ancient origins. It has gone through two flourishing periods over the centuries. The first, is that of Roman times. The second, later, is that of the Kingdom of Naples. It was during this period that Lecce saw a great development in the construction of buildings, monuments and stately palaces. All characterised by sumptuous architecture rich in ornamental details, so much so that it was defined as Lecce Baroque. Unique in its kind because it took shape in the local stone, ductile and easy to inlay, pietra leccese.
Lecce is not a city that directly faces the sea, but it certainly does not lack it. In fact, the city is located a short distance from both Adriatic and Ionian seaside resorts. Such as San Cataldo, Frigole, Torre Chianca, Torre Rinalda, Casalabate, characterised as much by jagged coastline as by splendid sandy coves that, especially in Torre Chianca, can enjoy cool, clear waters thanks to the mouth of the Idume river.
