Casa Singola In Vendita A Salve

The First Lion agency is pleased to exclusively offer for sale a wonderful charming property that combines the allure of Apulian rural architecture with the comfort of a careful, refined renovation respectful of tradition. Located in Salve, in the evocative territory of Capo di Leuca, the estate is nestled among ancient olive trees, vineyards, and fragrant stretches of Mediterranean scrub, offering a living experience where nature, history, and authenticity blend harmoniously.

The property’s origins date back to the 18th century. The complex, renovated in 2013, preserves the identity of the ancient Salento rural architectures, enhanced through a restoration that favored natural materials, traditional techniques, and the reuse of original elements. The vaults were recovered and rebuilt with existing materials, while the use of hydraulic lime, cocciopesto, and finishes inspired by local tradition gives the spaces an authentic texture that tells the story of the land and its history.

The property consists of 4 independent ”pagliare” with a total area of about 250 sqm, arranged to ensure privacy and seclusion. The pagliare are divided into 4 studios; 1 one-bedroom apartment; and 2 two-bedroom apartments, each with a private bathroom and kitchen; plus a multipurpose room near the pool area that can be customized according to individual needs.

The pool is designed to further enrich the stay experience and the property’s rental potential. Each dwelling preserves details of great historical and identity value: ancient outdoor ovens, an original basin, traditional wells with characteristic internal steps used for descent, millstones, and evidence of the original grape processing activities.

The interiors showcase refined artisanal craftsmanship: custom-made furniture crafted by a master carpenter harmonizes with wooden doors, double-glazed windows, and finishes inspired by Mediterranean tradition. Every design choice aimed to enhance the architectural identity without sacrificing contemporary functionality, including a technical solar system; independent electrical panels for each unit; a well and a wastewater treatment system with Imhoff tanks connected to the septic tank; and provisions for an alarm system.

The estate hosts about 1,200 Leccino olive trees, planted seven years ago and producing for three years, and a vineyard of about 1,200 plants, mainly Negroamaro (90%) and Malvasia (10%). The declared production for the 2026 season is about 4,100 kg of grapes, highlighting the agricultural vocation of the complex and offering interesting prospects for those wishing to combine hospitality with the enhancement of local products.

Completing the landscape is an orchard with pomegranates, figs, almonds, plums, apricots, and mulberries, contributing to the botanical variety and generous character of the Salento countryside. The location is one of its strengths: the sea is just five minutes away, while the surrounding landscape retains the discreet charm of the Salento countryside, far from the busier rhythms of coastal towns.
