Làmia Bianca is a period home with authentic charm, for sale in Castrignano del Capo. Just a few steps from the town center, in a convenient location within easy walking distance, this residence tells the story and architectural identity of the most genuine Salento.
It is an independent ground floor dwelling with a corner position, surrounded by a private garden that stretches along two sides, fully fenced and immersed in a peaceful and private atmosphere.
The house consists of several historic rooms, thoughtfully connected, coexisting in harmonious balance. The main part, dating back to 1934, includes two large rooms with star-shaped vaulted ceilings, one with a barrel vault, another with a flat ceiling, and a bathroom. Adding to the property’s charm is an original 19th-century lamione, with a striking barrel vault and exposed stone walls, not merely adjacent but directly integrated and connected with the rest of the house. This space, rich in character and memory, forms the most authentic heart of the dwelling, evoking emotions from times past.
The “làmia” is a traditional dry-stone construction, typically square in shape, with a barrel vault and a rooftop terrace. Historically, lamie were used as temporary shelters for farmers and storage for agricultural tools.
Inside, the house preserves original floors made of cocciopesto, graniglia, and cementine, elements that reinforce its historical identity. Three old fireplaces further enhance the charm and warmth of the interiors.
The property also includes a garage of approximately 15 sqm, a cistern, an already active water supply connection, and easy access to all public utilities.
Although renovation is needed, this house presents an extraordinary opportunity for those wishing to enhance a historic property and turn it into a charming private residence, a second home for holidays, or a character-filled property for hospitality.
A place that preserves the true soul of Salento, ready to welcome those who can recognize its beauty and potential. Located just 4 km from the picturesque Santa Maria di Leuca, and within easy reach of the scenic Adriatic coastline and the white sandy beaches of the Ionian coast.
