This stunning property is set in its own 2 hectares of land in the heart of the Itria valley, in a unique location.
The property has a beautiful long track leading up to the house, with the striking view of an ancient pine tree as you approach the house.
The farmhouse has three entrances, two to the main house and one to the trullo/lamia. The trullo and lamie are the historical part of the property, made entirely from hand-cut local stone, each room with vaulted ceilings or trullo cone. It offers very comfortable independent accommodation, with two good-sized bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and living room – leading out to large open patio with stone table and shady pergola with comfortable seating and barbeque area. The patio has lovely views over the surrounding countryside and mature gardens.
The spacious farmhouse opens out into a wonderful high ceilinged open-space, with rustic-style kitchen, dining area and ‘snug’ with fireplace and an ancient stone bread-oven. Leading off the kitchen area is a roomy living room with a large comfy sofa and wood-burning stove. There are three good-sized bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. The winding staircase from the living room leads up to a spacious mezzanine bedroom with modern shower room just beneath; the other two airy double bedrooms have views over the countryside, with a shared fourth bathroom with bathtub and shower.
The beautiful stone-paved pool area has a large 50 square metre pool with shallow end ideal for young swimmers. The spacious shady pergola and seating area has views over the pool and countryside.
There is a solar panel for hot water, and a wood-burning fireplace with back boiler for economical heating throughout the property. The central heating can also be fuelled by gas.
The 2 hectare plot has numerous olive trees and a variety of fruit trees, along with paddocks, a chicken house, and an attractive irrigated vegetable patch.
A staircase to the back of the lamia leads up to a large roof terrace with exceptional views.
The property is well located, with just a 5-minute drive from Ceglie Messapica, and within easy reach of the towns of Cisternino, Ostuni and Martina Franca.
The house is equally suited to family living as to rental accommodation.
Five-minute walk from the beautiful aqueduct walking trail.
The property has been a popular and successful rental property for many years.
