17th Century Farmhouse In Rauccio Park, 2 Km From The Sea

In the Rauccio Nature Park, less than 2 km from the sea, along the ancient paved road that joined the historic ”Via del Carro,” and only 15 minutes from the magnificent baroque city of Lecce, the 1600 Masseria La Grotta is surrounded and immersed in simple yet extraordinary nature. The project, now almost complete, is ready to be delivered for use as a high-level accommodation establishment or prestigious private residence.
Here, where the sky is cobalt blue and the color of Lecce stone enchants, in one of the most interesting geographical locations, also due to its proximity to Brindisi airport and the Itria Valley, the property, with a building permit from 2021, is in great excitement.
This fascinating place, once used for cattle and sheep farming activities, has seen several settlements over the past centuries and contains a strong rural flavor within its walls.
The well-designed indoor and outdoor spaces ensure the privacy and relaxation of 6 bedrooms with private bathrooms, terraces, an outdoor pool, and an evocative wellness area with a whirlpool, Kneipp path, and emotional shower in a silo.
The conservative restoration was carried out with great care, using noble materials and traditional techniques. Trani stone stands out on the ground floor, while the main floor consists of terracotta bricks from Salento. Cocciopesto floors, lime plasters, and resins harmonize with the thermal-break iron exterior frames and the solid oak wood interior frames. Details, such as stone sinks and refined Gessi faucets, complete this property and make it an authentic gem of rare beauty.
