luxury house with reception room for sale Torre Santa Susanna, Italy

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.

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.
