We are selling a beautiful historic property located in Squinzano, near the baroque town of Lecce and 10km from the Adriatic sea.
The building is made of a ground floor and an apartment on the first floor.
The property was once owned by a noble family that was in the wine and olive oil business.
The ground floor and the apartment have separate entrance doors and can be bought separately or together.
If bought together, the two places would be a perfect live/work situation.
The ground floor is of 330 sm (or 3552sf) and was in the past used as olive oil press.
It has very high star vaulted ceilings that where used by local architects centuries ago and that modern designers are fascinated by.
It has very thick stone walls which allow the temperature to be constant and cool.
The ground floor could be used as wine cellar or could be restored to become a yoga center, an Art studio or Art Gallery, a food laboratory production or even a vertical farm.
We are also selling a 256sm (or 2755 sf) apartment located on the first and last floor which is restored and nicely furnished.
We can sell it with or without furniture. Here a video of the apartment.
To access the apartment you walk through a beautiful historic courtyard, with open ceiling.
It has a very large terrace, a huge kitchen, two very large bedrooms with high ceilings, three bathrooms (two ensuite), a reading room, an entrance room with star vaulted ceilings and another small room.
Squinzano is a small town where people still follow the slow and healthy Mediterranean Diet and where the weather is sunny most of the year.
Lecce has amazing Baroque architecture made using the local Carparo yellow stone.
There are plenty of restaurants and bars in Lecce.
