PRESTIGIOUS APULIAN MASSERIA WITH POOL in Ostuni

Description

Historic Masseria with Ancient Oil Mill Between Ostuni and the Adriatic Sea

Hidden among centuries-old olive trees, just minutes from Ostuni and the crystal-clear Adriatic coast, this magnificent 17th-century Masseria represents one of the finest examples of Apulian architectural heritage. Finely restored by an architect, it blends the authenticity of traditional materials with the elegance of contemporary design, creating a place of rare harmony and sophistication.

Architecture and Interiors

The property extends over approximately 250 m² and retains its vaulted ceilings, original niches, and whitewashed stone walls that take on soft golden hues at sunset. The restoration enhances each space with refined simplicity and modern comfort.
The main residence includes three elegant en-suite suites, each with private access to a veranda and breakfast area, a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious dining and living area, a guest bathroom, and a technical/laundry room.

The Ancient Oil Mill

Beneath the main structure lies an extraordinary 180 m² hypogeum, the former olive oil mill, where the stone basins and vaulted chambers evoke centuries of history. Already connected to water and electricity and with independent access, this space offers immense potential — ideal for transformation into a spa, wine cellar, private bar, or exclusive event area.

Outdoor Spaces and Land

Set within 4.3 hectares (43,000 m²) of private land, the estate is surrounded by 100 monumental olive trees and about 200 younger specimens, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and Ostuni’s white skyline. A swimming pool surrounded by terraces and olive groves is planned, designed for relaxation and privacy. The enclosed courtyard, sheltered by dry-stone walls, is the perfect setting for intimate breakfasts or sunset aperitifs beneath the pergola. A building permit for a 54 m² extension, valid until October 2026, allows further development perfectly in line with the architectural style of the property.

Location

The Masseria enjoys a privileged position between Valle d’Itria and North Salento, offering peace and seclusion while being close to the sea and major attractions. Within just five minutes, one reaches the Adriatic coast and the WWF Nature Reserve of Torre Guaceto. In less than half an hour, the whitewashed villages of Cisternino, Locorotondo, Alberobello, and the picturesque harbours of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli await discovery.

Prestige and Investment Potential

This property is more than a home—it is a brand of elegance already recognized internationally. Featured in Condé Nast, MyBoutiqueHotel.com, Pretty Hotels, Welcome Beyond, and with a 5/5 Google rating, it enjoys an established reputation on the world stage.
