Martina Franca
Puglia
Nestled in the rolling countryside of Martina Franca and surrounded by more than 7 hectares of private land, this exceptional historic masseria dating back to the late 18th century is offered for sale. Originally built as the summer residence of a prominent local noble family, the estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of Apulian heritage.
The property enjoys a privileged elevated position, offering one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the Itria Valley. From the estate, you can admire sweeping vistas across Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino and Alberobello, while the historic centre of Martina Franca is just 2 kilometres away.
The main residence extends over approximately 450 sqm and is arranged across two floors. The elegant entrance, adorned with the family’s original coat of arms, leads into a series of authentic rooms that have retained their historical character and charm. Original mosaic floors, white limewashed walls and magnificent vaulted ceilings create the timeless elegance typical of traditional Apulian manor houses.
One of the most distinctive features of the property is the spacious reception hall, which includes a private chapel once used for family religious ceremonies. Original niches, architectural details and historic elements bear witness to the estate’s rich past. The rooms still reflect the simplicity and authenticity of rural life in centuries gone by, while the original doors and window frames can be carefully restored to their former glory.
The historic courtyard garden is another highlight of the estate. Once a sheltered retreat from the hot Apulian summers, it continues to enhance the property's unique atmosphere and charm.
In addition to the main residence, the estate includes the former caretaker’s house (massaro), old stables, traditional farm courtyards and a remarkable collection of 17 stone trulli structures awaiting restoration. These buildings are valuable examples of the traditional rural architecture of the Itria Valley. A sensitive restoration project would allow the entire estate to be revitalised while preserving its historic identity and authentic character.
This unique property presents a rare opportunity to create a prestigious private residence, a boutique hospitality venture, or a high-value investment in the heart of authentic Puglia.
