This masseria is situated in a tranquil yet accessible location between Francavilla Fontana and Oria in Apulia. Constructed in the late 1800s, the building originally served as a palmento for pressing grapes. Several original architectural elements remain intact, including vaulted ceilings, natural stone floors, and a substantial stone basin formerly used in wine production.
The property offers around 300 square metres of usable space across two separate levels. On the ground floor is the former production area characterised by its vaulted ceilings. This space is versatile and could function as a large communal area, a studio, or a wellness facility.
Above, the main house spans approximately 130 square metres. It opens onto a generous 76 square metre terrace. A staircase leads to rooftop terraces that provide views over olive groves and the distinctive silhouette of Oria.
The land extends over roughly 5000 square metres and includes ornamental plants and fruit trees. A well and electricity connection are already in place. The structure is fundamentally sound and, with renovation, the full potential of the property can be realised.
Francavilla Fontana, known as the “City of the Imperiali,” is a lively town steeped in culture and history. Brindisi Airport lies about 30 minutes away. The beaches of both the Ionian and Adriatic seas as well as notable towns such as Ostuni, Martina Franca and Lecce can be reached in under 40 minutes.
This masseria presents a solid option for those seeking a historic property in Apulia, suitable either as a private residence or a distinctive guest accommodation.
