Nestled in the heart of the authentic Salento countryside, “La Lamia tra i Due Mari” is an ancient stone rural building with its characteristic barrel-vaulted ceiling, now offered for sale following a carefully designed renovation and extension project. The property is surrounded by 1,282 sqm (approximately 13,800 sq ft) of private land and enjoys an enchanting rural setting distinguished by traditional stone buildings, dry-stone walls, and lush Mediterranean vegetation.
The property is located just outside the charming village of Patù, in one of the area’s most sought-after countryside locations, appreciated for its authenticity, tranquility, and timeless beauty. Ancient rural buildings, centuries-old olive trees, and traditional dry-stone walls create a harmonious landscape, perfect for those wishing to immerse themselves in nature while remaining within easy reach of all essential services.
Originally built as a traditional lamia, one of the most iconic examples of Salento’s rural architecture, the building reflects the region’s rich heritage. Lamie were traditionally constructed entirely from local stone and served as shelters for farmers, storage buildings, or seasonal homes. Today, they are highly desirable properties, appreciated for their authentic character and historical significance. This residence still preserves its beautiful barrel-vaulted ceiling, an architectural feature that adds elegance, charm, and a unique atmosphere to the living spaces.
The fully fenced private plot extends over 1,282 sqm, ensuring privacy, peace, and generous outdoor living areas. Access to the property is exceptionally convenient thanks to a fully paved road leading directly to the entrance.
The property has been the subject of a carefully conceived restoration project that enhances the original structure while integrating a contemporary extension, perfectly harmonized with the existing architecture.
