Ancient estate for sale in the heart of Salento, precisely located in the municipality of Maglie, a reference point south of the Lecce capital.
Its strategic position allows you to easily reach the main cities of Salento, Lecce, Otranto, Leuca and Gallipoli.
At the gates of the city, this ancient residence stands, surrounded by a park of about 10 hours, characterized by different essences of Mediterranean scrub, and various types of vegetation.
Typical of stately buildings, the villa is located in the highest part of the municipality, in fact its construction dates back to 1800.
The main access takes place through an avenue about 300 meters long, and lined with pine trees. Arrived on the square, you can admire the main facade of the house.
Arranged on two levels, the villa immediately denotes the nineteenth-century noble style of the place, made of Lecce stone. The interiors, on the other hand, are enhanced by the ribbed and “maltrotta” vaults. On the ground floor, a large entrance leads to the kitchen area (with its service rooms and dining room), from the right wing, where other rooms are located, a chapel, the temporary shelter for carriages and the stables.
On the first floor, on the other hand, is accessed through 3 flights of stairs, one of which is the main one, the others instead of service.
Here, too, a large room with a frescoed vault leads to the 8 large rooms.
In addition, two loggias on the back overlook the garden.
A little further away, there is another structure, intended for guests. With its 300 square meters, this house allowed it to accommodate over 15 people.
The property also features a belvedere, an old turret that was used as an electrical substation with an adjoining lift to reach the well.
The important dimensions of this property will allow the future owner to choose to use it as both residential and receptive.
