Ancient Masseria From 1629 With Pool, Lodge, Stables And Ancient Hypogeum Oil Mill

In the hinterland of Salento, just a few minutes away from its most enchanting beaches, Apulia Deluxe offers for sale this typical Masseria dating back to 1629 of 713sqm in total, totally renovated, with a splendid infinity pool of 100sqm, a large Lodge of 160sqm and an evocative hypogeum oil mill of 300sqm with annexed building in rustic state.

The ancient Masseria

The main building of the old Masseria, with a covered area of 713 square metres, is arranged in the typical L-shaped structure, around the large courtyard, and is currently used as a high-level accommodation facility, set within a lovely garden of approximately 2500 square metres.

The entrance to the structure welcomes guests into the living area, which includes a living room, a dining room with kitchen area and two hallways, with spaces that open onto the outdoor courtyard. The master’s house, on the same floor, has a large bedroom with bathroom, hallway and hobby room.

The sleeping area, instead, consists of 6 spacious double bedrooms with typical vaults, all served by ensuite bathrooms for exclusive use. Wooden canopies and shaded areas allow guests in each room to enjoy the outdoor breakfast room and moments of relaxation in the typical Mediterranean garden, amidst flowers, citrus fruits and prickly pears.

The 100-square-metre infinity pool represents the modern and fresh touch of this refined estate, allowing patrons to enjoy regenerating moments both in summer and during the milder seasons, enjoying a splendid panoramic view of the rest of the estate.

Completely renovated, the Masseria is made independent, from the point of view of water needs, by an artesian well that supports the needs of both the living areas and the swimming pool, thanks also to a 100,000-litre cistern.

The sustainability of the structure, on the other hand, is guaranteed by a 13 Kwh photovoltaic system with storage batteries. Finally, an underground gas tank provides for heating needs.

The Lodge, the Hypogeum Oil Mill and the Wood areas

A short distance from the Masseria, a charming, recently restored lodge is the ideal solution for a comfortable and private stay. The complex consists of two independent flats, consisting of a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, and a studio apartment.

The historical and most authentic note is represented by the suggestive hypogeum oil mill, covering an area of over 300 square metres.

Completely carved out of the friable rock, the underground complex bears witness to a time when the Salento was a land of great exports of lampante oil throughout the world, which was processed in the stone vats, in order to preserve its organoleptic characteristics, at a constant temperature of 17 degrees. Presicce, the town where the Masseria is located, was known in the 18th century as the ‘underground city’, and oil mills like this one, along with another 30 currently surveyed, represent the most tangible legacy of this evocative history.

Just above the hypogeum oil mill rises another building, currently in a rustic state, of a further 120 square metres, characterised by vaulted ceilings, which can be configured as an additional guest house with living room, large outdoor portico and 2 bedrooms served by 2 bathrooms. 

A short distance away, the horse stables, on the other hand, are the ideal shelter for the Masseria’s animals. 

The property is completed by an extraordinary woodland, ideal for sensory paths and areas for yoga activities, in contact with the virgin Mediterranean nature.

You can choose to purchase the Masseria complete with furnishings, both interior and exterior, with a swimming pool and approximately 2,500 square metres of land.

Alternatively, if you are interested in purchasing the Hypogeum oil mill, the Lodge and the Wooded area, it is possible to do so separately from the Masseria.

Finally, you can buy the entire estate at the indicated price of 1.500.000 euro.

This Masseria, represents a splendid complex that lends itself well to both luxury accommodation and diffuse living, thanks to the spacious and modulated dwellings, and the strategic position in which it is logistically located.
