lands for sale Apulia, Italy

On the outskirts of Lecce, seven hundred metres from the Rudiae Archaeological Park the ancient Messapian city that gave birth to Quintus Ennius and preserves one of the most intact Roman amphitheatres in Southern Italy a contemporary villa redefines the concept of luxury residence in the Salento landscape. Immersed in the countryside, protected by dry-stone walls in Lecce stone and surrounded by olive trees, palms and lemon groves, the property reveals itself as a complete and calibrated living system: main villa and two annexes arranged in perfect symmetry along the axis of a fourteen-and-a-half-metre pool, in a formal balance reminiscent of the great Mediterranean country residences. Inside, the villa is recognised by its most distinctive signature: fully customised furnishings in the main area, white wooden beams with integrated linear LED strips, natural oak parquet flooring, full-height sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between the house and the garden. The living area with dining zone, Dekton island kitchen and suspended bookcase as the only divider is a single fluid, luminous scene. The billiards room with fireplace and coffered ceiling, the three bathrooms with distinct personalities black marble veined with gold, beige onyx, dark and gold arabesque the master bedroom with lit walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and three-metre-high doors: every space reveals an attention to detail rarely encountered outside high-end hôtellerie. The villa extends across a single level of 350 sqm, flanked by the two annexes, for a total of approximately 23 rooms. Completing a set of features exceptionally rare in the Lecce countryside: pool measuring 14.5 × 6 m, four registered gazebos, covered carport, 6 kW photovoltaic system with solar thermal and batteries, 11 kW electric car charger, private well with water softening and filtering system in every room, automatic irrigation system, dusk garden lighting and video surveillance and alarm system. The two annexes replicate the villa's language with autonomy and consistency: each has an independent entrance, living area with equipped kitchenette, bedroom and private bathroom complete, self-sufficient units, designed for guests or for a profitable management of the spaces. A property of this calibre comes to market on the rarest of occasions. For those who wish to inhabit a landscape without giving up anything or for those who recognise in excellence the best investment: the villa is already operating in the luxury short-term rental circuit, with concrete returns and a consolidated positioning in the premium segment.
