The Masseria for sale in Salento dates back to 1833 and was built by a famous architect Francesco Allegretti. It was intended as a Masseria for raising livestock, working the land, and producing dairy and agricultural products.

The first floor was used as a holiday home for the noble family.

The beautiful and evocative Salento farmhouse, formerly known as the Masseria degli ALFIERI, has about 1,000 square metres of buildings and is surrounded by 100 hectares of farmland, partly planted with century-old oak trees and partly with arable land surrounded by large oak trees and Mediterranean scrub.

The property is totally enclosed by dry-stone walls and is surrounded by picturesque country roads, with its Salento countryside settings.

From a long avenue immersed in the Mediterranean maquis, one begins to glimpse the mixed terrain and arable land, thus entering a totally different context from the surrounding area. It feels like being in another era and context. This feeling becomes very strong when you catch sight of the Masseria, which has remained intact in all its splendour.
At the end of this avenue you can see the beautiful Masseria located on a slight promontory, from which you can enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside as far as the eye can see.

The Masseria consists of a ground floor and first floor. On the ground floor are stables and rooms for the processing of agricultural and dairy products, with old kitchens and ovens for the production of durum wheat bread. On the first floor are large rooms used as the Massaro's house and storerooms for provisions.

The building is characterised by typical star vaults made of local 'living stone', barrel vaults, and cone-shaped trulli, also made of the same stone, all built dry.

Fascinating and highly suggestive is the context of the entire property which, while suggesting the idea of a splendid accommodation solution, lends itself to a variety of opportunities, not least that of a prestigious private residence or summer home.

This property is ideally suited to be used as a Rural Tourism Facility, Luxury Farmhouse with Pool, Luxury Resort, Luxury Agricultural Estate, SPA and Golf Resort, Luxury Rural Farmhouse.

Ceglie Messapica, a Messapian town of ancient origin, very interesting for its geographical location, in recent years a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, included in the VALLE D'ITRIA geographical area, with a beautiful historical centre, is 6 km from the Masseria, 20 km from Brindisi airport.
