Nestled within the lush surroundings of the Terra delle Gravine Regional Natural Park, Masseria Leucaspide is a remarkable historic and architectural estate whose origins date back to the 16th century, when the Jesuits laid its first stones along the western slope of the Gravina di Leucaspide. A place where history and legend intertwine amid landscapes of rare beauty, in a land inhabited since prehistoric times and rich in dolmens, Greek necropolises and medieval rock-hewn settlements. In the 17th century, the masseria and the gravina passed into the hands of the Order of the Poor Clares, whose lasting legacy can still be seen today in the ancient convent. During the 19th century, the estate became the summer residence of Sir James Lacaita, the distinguished Anglo-Italian gentleman, patriot and Senator of the Kingdom of Italy, who transformed it into an elegant cultural salon, welcoming many of the most influential figures of the time. His son, Charles Lacaita, an accomplished botanist, carried out significant studies on the flora of the gravine, contributing to the site's scientific renown. The estate is centred around the main masseria, distinguished by its characteristic arcaded portico, and includes a historic chapel, an English-style garden and the former Convent of the Poor Clares, together forming an architectural ensemble of exceptional charm. In full respect of the original style and materials, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced over time with five apartments, including studios and one-bedroom units, complemented by an impressive owner's residence of approximately 300 square metres on the upper floor. The entire complex extends to over 2,000 square metres, all set within more than one hundred hectares of olive groves, vineyards and citrus orchards. A rare opportunity to own a piece of the most authentic history of Puglia.

Wrapped in the ancestral silence of the Apulian countryside, this eighteenth-century masseria reveals itself as one of the most fascinating examples of fortified rural architecture. A timeless property that holds over 2700 sqm of interior spaces and extends across a private estate of about 19 hectares, cultivated with arable land and enriched by a vast ancient olive grove that celebrates the agricultural tradition of the territory. A majestic arched entrance leads to the large central courtyard, dominated by the main residence, compact and noble in its square, defense-inspired form. Around it, trulli and ancient agricultural structures recount centuries of rural life, while the presence of stone bridges and old wells testifies to the constructive ingenuity and efficiency of the original settlement. The roots of the masseria date back to a period prior to 1727; over the centuries, the property was the scene of episodes linked to post-unification brigandage, chapters that enhance its historical and cultural value. The interiors preserve the architectural authenticity of the residence: large cross vaults define the rooms of the main building, while the splendid reception hall welcomes guests beneath extraordinary exposed star vaults. Here, a majestic stone fireplace becomes the scenic heart of the residence. In addition to the event hall, the property features trulli and large spaces dedicated to guest accommodation, perfectly integrated into the complex and ideal for refined hospitality. The masseria is already prepared to be managed as a high-level hospitality structure, thanks to dedicated reception areas and professional services designed for guest comfort. Designed for top-tier hospitality use, the property offers large industrial kitchens, an internal laundry, an equipped pantry, and service areas that ensure impeccable operations. An additional value is the semi-basement level, an evocative space dedicated to wellness and personal care, ideal for creating an exclusive fitness area, gym, or relaxation spaces. The presence of a modern air-conditioning and ventilation system ensures comfort in every season, discreetly integrating into the historic structure. Outside, a scenic pool opens onto a fully equipped paved area, enriched by an elegant bar corner, perfect for exclusive events or moments of pure relaxation. Adding further charm to the property is the private chapel, a small architectural gem that brings spiritual depth and old-world allure to the estate. The property is completed by historic stone enclosures, trulli, and ancient rural structures, all protected by imposing dry-stone walls that preserve its intimacy and rarefied atmosphere. This eighteenth-century masseria is a place where history, nature, and spirituality coexist in harmony, offering an exceptional residential or hospitality experience. Perfect as a prestigious private residence or a boutique hospitality venue, it also represents a valuable entrepreneurial opportunity. Its proximity to iconic destinations such as Ostuni, Lecce, and the stunning Salento coastline makes this estate an excellent investment, ideal for those seeking an exclusive property rich in charm and capable of generating profitability in one of Italys most evocative landscapes.
