10 bedrooms villa, 2000 m²

Novoli, Lecce (province)

Salento

The First Lion Agency is pleased to exclusively offer a charming historic residence from the late 19th century, immersed in a context of absolute tranquility in the heart of Novoli, where the charm of time has remained intact. The property is located in a private residential area, ideal for those who wish to live away from the chaos without sacrificing the convenience of connections and proximity to essential services.

The residence is set within a large plot of approximately 2,000 sq m, within which a building of approximately 400 sq m is harmoniously integrated, arranged on a single level with a double entrance. The property retains all the authentic character of the era, enhanced by fascinating star-vaulted ceilings that have now collapsed, a testament to traditional Salento architecture, although they require significant restoration work today. The spacious and bright rooms offer an extraordinary base for a valorization project capable of combining history and contemporary comfort.

What makes the property truly unique and unrepeatable is the adjacent presence of an ancient Templar church from the 17th century: a true gem of rare charm, intimate and steeped in history, which still retains the mystical allure of its star vaults and precious period frescoes. This small architectural jewel of approximately 20 sq m, along with an additional multipurpose room of approximately 10 sq m, gives the entire complex an authentic soul and a distinctive character that is difficult to replicate, capable of captivating at first glance.

Thanks to its generous volume and the configuration of the spaces, the residence is perfectly suited both as a prestigious private residence and as a charming accommodation facility, historic residence, or farmhouse, offering interesting investment prospects.

The need for significant renovation represents, at the same time, an opportunity to personalize the spaces and fully enhance the property's potential.

The location is particularly strategic: a few kilometers from Lecce and well connected to the main road arteries, it allows easy access to renowned locations on the Ionian coast such as Porto Cesareo and Santa Maria al Bagno, famous for their crystal-clear waters.
