Imposant Bâtiment Historique Avec Un Grand Jardin

LAYOUT
Set on a plot of about 19,000 sqm, in the heart of Specchia yet enveloped in a peaceful rural microcosm, we offer an ancient tobacco factory full of charm and fine craftsmanship, a keeper of many years of history. This building once processed a resource that drove the Salento economy until the 1970s: tobacco.

This beautiful and incredible factory we offer for sale is a true architectural and historical gem. Despite its proximity to the town center, it is immersed in a green and quiet oasis, enjoying tranquility and fresh air thanks to both its own land and neighboring plots that separate it from city traffic.

THE PROPERTY
The property, free on all four sides and about 780 sqm, is spread over a single ground floor level. It features very large and bright rooms, almost all vaulted with typical star-shaped ceilings of considerable height.

The same precious stone flooring is found in other sections of the building.

The layout of the large rooms allows easy separation, making the interior adaptable to any residential or functional needs.

Notably, similar structures, once renovated and transformed into charming residences, have been featured on the covers of major design magazines.

The outdoor spaces dedicated to the residence are also appreciable. Beyond the land surrounding the building on every side, a small portion at the side and rear has been carved out as a small enclosed garden, fenced and closed by a typical stone wall that adds charm and atmosphere to the setting.

We could dwell on every room or corner to highlight its monumentality, but we prefer each visitor to feel the same sensation we experienced upon entering the property. Walking through the grounds and inside the building feels like a journey back in time: within these solid walls, one can still breathe an air rich with historical and epochal suggestions.

RECENT PARTS
Certainly not original are two rooms with flat vaults: one very large overlooking the small garden described earlier, in good structural condition; the other smaller room requires ceiling restoration. It is worth noting that an additional prestigious feature would be the use of the rooftop terrace, where the panorama is unparalleled and the surrounding view breathtaking.

A proper conservative restoration would return this property to its former glory. Nestled in nature, it has the power to enchant visitors at first sight with its incredible charm and extraordinarily beautiful architecture.

The entire asset, both for its structural layout and context, is very suitable for development as a luxury hospitality or residential venue.
