5 bedrooms farmhouse, 345 m²

Martignano, Lecce (province)

Salento

Just 15 km from the Adriatic Sea, in the heart of Salento, in Martignano, an ancient masseria to renovate of approximately 345 m2, with the possibility of expansion, and a private garden of about 500 sqm. The ancient building faces the road and is free on both sides, while it borders another property at the back. The façade is majestic and makes the building interesting from first glance. Once used for small dairy production and as a shelter for herding animals, it maintains a very interesting charm thanks to the different internal and external spaces, its corners that characterize the historic building, and the private garden, with niches, mangers, high star vaults, paving, ancient monolithic stones, and much more. A large entrance portal leads to the property, where there is a covered atrium accessing laterally to two large rooms with high star vaults, both on the right and on the left, for a total of 5 rooms in line. On the edges of the front building, there are other rooms that are now partially ruined and with former roofs made of wood and tiles. The side walls and the front make the area behind private and hidden. Here is a garden full of potential thanks to the presence of some citrus trees, and dry stone walls that ideally divide the garden into two-three distinct areas, that can be used for different purposes. A fascinating property, with excellent potential, ideal as a personal home, also interesting as an investment to be included in the international rentals. Martignano is a small village in the renown area of Grecia Salentina, an area of Salento where an ancient dialect of Greek origin is spoken, it is only 15 km from the Adriatic Sea and the beautiful beach of Torre dell'Orso, Otranto is 20 km away, Gallipoli on the Ionian Sea 38 km, Lecce 15 km, Brindisi airport 65 km.
