MASSERIA ALBA ADRIATICA

FARMHOUSE TO RENOVATE 500 METRES FROM THE TOWN OF OSTUNI, WITH SPLENDID SEA VIEW IN A HILLY POSITION FOR SALE IN PUGLIA

Halfway between the hills and the sea, in a wonderful landscape located in the heart of Apulia, surrounded by green countryside and a beautiful coastline. Amidst the penetrating scents and smells of the vegetation that characterises the area, carried by the wind like the smell of the sea just a few kilometres away, the real estate agency Gente di Mare offers for sale a farmhouse that is bathed in the tranquillity and silence typical of the Apulian countryside characterised by the rhythmic singing of the cicadas.

A rare location on the outskirts of the town and overlooking the sea

The farmhouse is located in an extremely strategic and prestigious position, in one of the most renowned areas of the countryside in the White City of Ostuni. Masseria Alba Adriatica offers the prestige of living surrounded by nature but only 500 metres from the town centre, which is perfectly accessible on foot. An exclusive and absolutely rare location, on a hill from which to admire the expanse of olive trees and the crystal clear sea, so close you could almost touch it with your finger. The surrounding area is inhabited all year round, so it is not at all isolated, but it is a place where you can preserve your privacy and relax.

An oasis in the unspoilt Apulian countryside: an ideal place where nothing is left to chance, thanks to its elegant and refined atmosphere and the tranquillity and harmony of nature. The surrounding area is under a landscape constraint, where no new buildings can be erected, and has the advantage of living in such an exclusive area with a 360° open view of the blue sea of the Adriatic coast.

Centuries-old olive trees and unspoilt nature

Access to the impressive estate is via three entrances, one pedestrian and two driveways (one already on the property and a second sliding gate soon to be installed). As soon as you cross the threshold you find yourself immersed in an extraordinary setting of centuries-old olive trees, thanks to the spectacular terraced land of about 5,000 square metres, entirely fenced in and splendidly adorned with powerful and generous centuries-old olive trees and other fruit trees.

The farmhouse and its underground oil mill

The ancient structure is divided into a main house with an underground oil mill below and an annex:

• The main building covers an area of about 140 square metres and has three large rooms, a kitchen and a small staircase leading to a corridor and a room where an additional bedroom with bathroom can be obtained; it also has two bathrooms. The rooms are characterised by iconic star and barrel vaults, in full respect of the Apulian tradition.
• The underground oil mill underneath the main house covers an area of approximately 250 square metres and will be the ideal place to create a splendid luxury spa with indoor swimming pool, thanks to its considerable surface area.
• Finally, the dependance covers an area of about 40sqm and will become a lovely independent flat where guests from all over the world can be welcomed with the warmth that distinguishes the Apulian spirit.

Utilities

The masseria has a large cistern about 17 metres high, an electricity meter, a large outdoor area for parking, outdoor lighting and there is even the possibility of connecting to the town's aqueduct.

Masseria Alba Adriatica is the investment par excellence of a typical masseria in the area, an ancient structure that with a magnificent renovation will become a luxury accommodation facility overlooking the sea and with an incredible spa with swimming pool, where every traveller and tourist will look forward to a relaxing stay in Puglia.

The surroundings of Masseria Alba Adriatica

Picturesque and waiting to be discovered is Ostuni, the White City. A renowned tourist destination, Ostuni boasts a marvellous medieval town, full of narrow streets and whitewashed houses in a maze reminiscent of an Arabian casbah. A walk through the old town, known as the 'terra' (land) to distinguish it from the more recent 'marina' (sea), offers picturesque views of alleyways, steep steps, courtyards and small squares overlooked by white houses adorned with geraniums, craft shops, typical restaurants and small shops.
