Masseria Valente, a prestigious historic complex in the heart of the hundred farmhouses of Crispiano (TA)
Strategically located between Crispiano and Martina Franca, in the heart of the charming Cento Masserie area and in a central area of the province of Taranto, we offer for sale the historic Masseria Valente.
The Masseria's origins date back to Roman times, when the site was already an active agricultural settlement producing cereals, oil, and dairy products. During the 18th century, with the renewed impetus given to agriculture, the masseria was expanded, equipped with new production facilities, and planted with a large olive grove.
During this period, the property was transformed into an elegant palace in the Martina Franca Baroque style, flanked by an evocative underground olive oil mill and a small private church, both of which still exist today.
The central core of the Masseria is the Palazzo Signorile, around which various historic buildings stand, including stables, warehouses, workers' quarters, the oil mill, and other rooms functional to the agricultural activity of the time.
