Country house for sale in Via Alberobello, Putignano, Puglia

Description

Fortified Puglia is architectural historiography, the "masseria" represents a unique rural building in the world, an emblem of peasant civilization. The history of this property is very fascinating, and we are fortunate to still be able to admire architectural details and precious details as if crystallized identical to the time of construction. Kept silently and laboriously alive, this property full of history took on new life when it was purchased by the current owners at the end of the last century, the building is ready to be reborn. The property is spread over approximately 30,000 sqm, inside it includes the "old masseria" and a new residence that communicates well with the first for a total of approximately 1000 sqm. A large stone infinity pool with salt water is located between the two structures. The property can be used both as a hotel tourist destination and as an exclusive residence in Puglia.
The old masseria, subjected to a precious conservative recovery completed in 2018, has linear and massive shapes, with an imposing architecture, and a compact shape enclosed between sky and ground capable of withstanding the winds and the passage of time. The first settlement dates back to 1600, making the farm far from the symmetries and preciousness of the villa-farms of a later period.
The masseria currently presents itself as a residence of refined elegance immersed in silent nature just a few minutes from the sea and the main places of interest of the Murgia dei Trulli, the Itria valley and the upper Salento. The farmhouse is spread over two surfaces and consists of a large living room with fireplace, a study, a living room with fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, four suites, one of which with a mini pool, and 4 bathrooms. All the rooms overlook a typical courtyard which boasts large spaces and an original flooring of the time.
The modern villa is approximately 300 sqm, spread over two levels in a structure with large windows. On the first floor a large room/office with kitchen and bathroom, on the second floor we find an open space with the very bright kitchen, dining room and wide view of the garden, two bedrooms with wardrobe and bathroom. Connected by enormous terraces in front and behind the structure and overlooking the garden, nearby we still find a laundry/bathroom room.
The two structures and the swimming pool are immersed in a large garden contained by large and varied terraces made of dry stone walls typical of the area. The property is characterized by old oaks, holm oaks and downy oaks as well as numerous olive trees which, scattered throughout the area between the terraces, create unique views.
