Ancient Farmstead With 21 Trulli For Sale In The Heart Of Puglia

In the heart of Puglia's countryside, in the Itria Valley, a short distance from the town centre of Martina Franca, lies this splendid historical farmstead for sale. The property, with a covered surface area of over 1,000 sqm, consists of a main villa and 21 big trulli and is surrounded by a private garden where a swimming pool is under construction. All around are more than 70 hectares of land where centuries-old olive groves and lush woods grow, drawing the most typical of landscapes that Puglia can offer. A perfect property for those who dream of the authenticity of rural life without giving up modern comforts

The farmstead is located in the renowned Itria Valley, also known as the Trulli Valley, one of the most fascinating areas of Apulia, known for its enchanting landscapes and charming historic villages. Martina Franca, famous for its Baroque-style town centre, is easily accessible, as are other gems of the region such as Alberobello, Ostuni, the 'White City', and Taranto, with its ancient Greek roots. The proximity to important cities such as Bari and Lecce offers further cultural and leisure opportunities. The international airports of Brindisi and Bari make the property easily accessible from anywhere in the world, making it ideal both as a private home and as an accommodation facility.

This farmstead for sale is a magnificent example of Puglia's rural architecture, dating back to the 1800s. Originally the centre of agricultural activity in the area, the structure has been skilfully restored to preserve its historical elements, such as the local stone floors and vaulted and hipped ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace in the main living room. In the early 20th century, the villa was joined by 21 trulli, classic examples of the local building tradition, with their characteristic cone-shaped roofs. These trulli, the renovation of which is nearing completion, retain today the original charm of the area's tradition, combining it with modern living comforts.

The main villa, with an internal surface area of 550 sqm, has been renovated with great care and attention to detail. On the ground floor, a large entrance hall with a service bathroom leads to a bright living area with a fireplace, a kitchen with a service entrance, and a cellar excavated in the rock where an ancient cistern once stood. On the first floor, the estate is divided into two independent flats: the first, accessible by an internal staircase, comprises two living rooms, three bedrooms and a bathroom; the second, with an external entrance, consists of a bedroom and a bathroom. 

The trulli, each with an independent entrance but communicating with each other, offer a surface area of 450 sqm and house nine suites, each with its own private bathroom, offering versatile and comfortable spaces ideal for accommodation.

Surrounded by 74 hectares of land, this property is a true oasis of tranquillity and natural beauty. The area immediately adjacent to the buildings is landscaped as a garden and orchard, with dry stone walls and native plants that enhance its Mediterranean charm. The swimming pool, currently under construction, will offer unique opportunities for relaxation in the presence of a wonderful panoramic view. The land, which is entirely fenced in, includes centuries-old olive groves and lush woods, perfect for relaxing walks and outdoor activities. An artesian well ensures water supply, while the electrical system with generator, gas heating system and alarm system guarantee comfort and safety.

Buying this farmstead means embracing an authentic lifestyle, immersed in the timeless beauty of the Apulian countryside. The historic architecture and the surrounding landscape create a unique environment where the blue of the sky, the red of the earth and the green of the olive trees blend in perfect harmony. The property is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat, far from the hustle and bustle of city life, but at the same time served by all modern conveniences, close to the region's cultural centres and not far from the sea, where they can rediscover endless possibilities for recreation and discovery of the wonders of Puglia.
