First Lion Agency is pleased to exclusively offer for sale a prestigious historic residence from the early 1900s located in the heart of Sava, a charming town in the Salento hinterland, about 25 km from Taranto and just 11 km from the beautiful Ionian Sea coast. The property, free on three sides, spans multiple levels — ground floor, first floor, and basement — and features four independent housing units, making it ideal both as a private representative residence and as a charming hospitality structure. The main residence on the ground floor covers approximately 400 sqm in total, spread over two levels including the ancient semi-underground cellar, once used for olive oil and wine production, a tradition deeply rooted in the area. Entering through the main entrance, you are welcomed into spaces that retain the original charm: original flooring, majestic star vaults, and historic architectural details tell the authentic story of the home. The large area includes a bright living area with a lounge and kitchen enhanced by an elegant marble fireplace. The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms, two studies, and a large bathroom. The floor is completed by numerous storage rooms and pleasant internal open spaces that ensure natural light and ventilation throughout. The highlight of the property is undoubtedly the basement level, where the areas originally used as an oil mill and wine cellar are perfectly preserved: spaces with great historical charm awaiting a new project to enhance their uniqueness. Also on the ground floor, with a separate side entrance, there is a second housing unit of about 60 sqm consisting of a one-bedroom apartment with storage room and terrace, completely in need of renovation. The first floor houses two separate apartments with independent entrances. The first unit, about 250 sqm, was renovated in the early 2000s. The spacious and bright rooms include an elegant double living room with a dramatic fireplace, dining room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms, bathroom, terrace at floor level, and three balconies. The second unit, about 110 sqm, is a three-room apartment to be modernized, consisting of an entrance-living room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and terrace at floor level. The property is completed by a C/6 commercial space of about 110 sqm on the ground floor. A unique solution full of history, charm, and potential, ideal for those wishing to invest in an exclusive residence or a tourist-hospitality project in the authentic heart of Puglia.
Located in Sava, this property offers easy access to local amenities and cultural sites in Puglia. It is 30 minutes by car from Taranto, providing connections to major transport hubs like Taranto Railway Station and Taranto-Grottaglie Airport. The area is known for its peaceful environment, with nearby nature spots and authentic dining experiences reflecting the region’s heritage.
