Martina Franca, Taranto (province)

Itria Valley

In the heart of Puglia, surrounded by the majestic forests, vineyards and olive groves of the Itria Valley, there is this extraordinary farmstead for sale. This fortified architectural complex, built in the 17th century, measures over 3,800 sqm, offering internal spaces and courtyards adorned in the Baroque style. This historical building is surrounded by over 100 hectares of forest, agricultural land and a vast organic vineyard.
Owned by a wealthy noble family for almost three centuries, this ancient farmstead is one of the most refined and sumptuous farms in the area. Since 1600, skilled craftsmen have embellished the residential building with details carved in local stone. The original nucleus lies around a quadrangular courtyard, paved with local stones, and bordered by statues of saints who, as tradition dictates, protected the workers from bandits.
From the courtyard, we enter the rooms of the main house. The ground floor measures 2,300 sqm while the first floor is 490 sqm. There are 6 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms, which can be increased to 6. The first floor houses 3 rooms and a reception hall, embellished with frescoes and panels that reflect the eclectic taste of art between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The property includes a private Baroque chapel, built in the mid-1800s, still consecrated and in perfect condition. The farm's outbuildings transform the place into a refined location for exclusive events. These include a traditional ancient trullo in perfect condition, a big paved farmyard, an old stable and a scenic courtyard.
The entire complex has been carefully renovated and implemented with a photovoltaic system. This exceptional farmstead offers multiple possibilities, both as a private home and as an hospitality or food and wine production business.
