6 bedrooms detached house, 1000 m²

Tuglie, Lecce (province)

Salento

First Lion offers for sale a prestigious historic residence located in the heart of Tuglie, a charming Salento village just a few kilometers from the enchanting beaches of Gallipoli. The property, built in 1822 by one of the most influential families of the time in terms of importance and land ownership, represents a perfect combination of historical charm, architectural refinement, and potential for enhancement.

The property extends for approximately 700 square meters of covered space, spread over two levels and completed by a large panoramic terrace of exclusive relevance. The property has two distinct entrances, one driveway that crosses the garden where there is currently a relaxation area and an area used as private parking, and one pedestrian entrance on the ground floor, originally used as the main entrance. Through the latter, you directly access a frescoed courtyard, which leads to the monumental internal staircase and, a little further on, to the central courtyard, which overlooks the various rooms of the building. From here you enter the main hall with fireplace, one of the most representative and fascinating environments of the entire residence.

A part of the property, equal to approximately 200 square meters, has been the subject of careful restoration that has preserved the original features. On the first floor there are five charming bedrooms, two majestic halls, a corridor and five bathrooms, while on the ground floor there is a large hall with kitchen, a laundry area, a pantry and a further bathroom. These environments are currently used for accommodation purposes, generating an immediate income.

The remaining area, of approximately 500 square meters, is to be renovated and offers ample possibilities for customization, allowing the buyer to expand the accommodation business already started or to transform these spaces into a prestigious private residence. This part includes nine rooms located on the same level as the renovated area, two apartments, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, and two bathrooms already prepared, with the possibility of creating additional ones according to the design needs.

In addition to these rooms, the property also includes an apartment with an independent entrance on the street, completely to be renovated, consisting of three rooms and a bathroom in a rustic state, as well as an additional room where a second bathroom can be created. This apartment still retains the original interior doors, an element of great historical value. Also on the ground floor, from the frescoed courtyard, you can access another apartment to be renovated, consisting of four rooms.

Among the elements that make this property truly unique are numerous original details perfectly preserved, such as mosaic floors, interior doors and period fixtures, wall decorations both inside and on the facade, the ancient basalt paving and the historic mangers that testify to the original agricultural vocation of the farmhouse. There is also the predisposition for the installation of an elevator, a rare feature that further increases the value and comfort of the property.

Extraordinary opportunity for those who want to invest in a charming residence in the authentic heart of Salento.
