Description

Villa with pool, outbuilding and 4.5 ha of private land, in a hilly and panoramic position, between Ostuni and Martina Franca. Total floor area of 333 sqm, plus a "lamia" to be renovated of 15 sqm. With large living areas, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in total. Geographic position Villa d'Itria is located in a dominant and panoramic position in a well-serviced and well-connected area among the hills, 3.5 km from Cisternino (5 minutes by car) and halfway between Martina Franca, just 10 km away, and Ostuni, 13 km away (both 15 minutes by car). We are located in one of the best-loved areas of Apulia, immersed in its nature and typical colours and in a very convenient and barycentric position with respect to its major centres, such as Taranto (42 km), Brindisi (52 km), Bari (79 km) and Lecce (90 km), and just 20 minutes' drive from the beaches of the Adriatic coast. Golf lovers can practice at San Domenico Golf, just 26 km away, perfectly nestled between the slopes of the Itria Valley and the marina of Savelletri, where the Apulian countryside meets the blue sea. Its magnificent 18-hole, par 72, 6300-metre plus course is a golfer's paradise. Designed by architect Andy Haggar to the highest USGA standards, it features a combination of strategically placed bunkers and an intricate mistral-oriented design, winding through gentle slopes, zigzagging between centuries-old olive trees and glimpses of the ancient city of Egnathia. The reference airport is Brindisi airport, 52 km away (less than an hour's drive), while Bari airport is 94 km away (about an hour and 10 minutes' drive). Description of buildings The property consists of the main villa and the annex, with a total commercial surface area of approximately 370 square metres, and is surrounded by 4.5 hectares of hilly land, with garden, arable land, olive grove and woodland. The main villa - 218 sqm net floor area 6 rooms - 2 bedrooms - 3 bathrooms This is a typical farmhouse that has been renovated maintaining its original architectural features. Inside we find a large and bright double living area with a small loft, a bathroom, a large bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a dining room with an open kitchen. The dining room leads to a further bright living area, followed by a bedroom and bathroom. The dependance - 115 sqm net floor area 4 rooms - 3 bedrooms - 3 bathrooms The dependance, a building in typical white stone, houses the kitchen/living room with fireplace, two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and a single bedroom with bathroom, accessible from the outside, with an independent entrance. Inside the property there is also a "lamia" to be renovated, measuring approximately 15 square metres, and a technical room, near the swimming pool. State and finishing The property, which is in excellent condition, has recently undergone a renovation, with fine materials and finishes. The rooms are spacious and bright, thanks to the large windows, from which there is a magnificent view of the pool and the surrounding valley. The floors are in local stone or resin and the ceilings have characteristic vaulted, barrel and star ceilings. External areas The private land surrounding the property is approximately 4.5 hectares, entirely fenced in, partly with a lawn garden, the remainder with forest, orchard and olive grove. A beautiful unpaved private road, lined with dry stone walls, oaks and the typical vegetation of the Mediterranean maquis, leads to a convenient parking area, positioned in an area not visible from the houses. Inside the garden, the lawn borders the buildings and the infinity pool, located in a panoramic position, measuring 12×6 m, equipped with a salt sterilisation system, and surrounded by local stone floors. The pool area is completed by a convenient outdoor shower and a 15-square-metre technical room. On the property, which also has a secondary access, there are several naturally shaded areas and a veranda equipped with a dining table and built-in seating, an outdoor kitchen and barbecue. Use and potential uses The property enjoys an excellent position, panoramic and private yet easily accessible, overlooking the entire valley, offering a unique open view of the Itria Valley countryside. Just 13 km from Ostuni, one of Puglia's most famous historic centres, and a short distance from the other major towns in the region, it is ideal both as a main residence and as a home in which to spend long periods of holiday, and is also perfect for renting out, as it is part of the international weekly holiday rental circuit.
