Just 10 minutes from Otranto, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and the quiet of the Salento countryside, this farmhouse of approximately 130 sqm - including a 20 sqm covered porch - is one of those rare opportunities that rarely come twice: an authentic space, full of potential, in a location of outstanding value.
The porch acts as a natural threshold between inside and out, where the light of Salento takes centre stage at every hour of the day. The property already benefits from an approved building permit (SCIA) that allows the porch to be enclosed, effectively increasing the internal living area. The submitted project provides for an open-plan living area with kitchenette, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a layout designed to balance communal and private spaces. The flexibility of the floorplan, however, leaves ample room for those who wish to put their own stamp on the interior.
The 1,600 sqm plot, planted with olive trees and Mediterranean vegetation, is the green heart of the property: a landscape already complete in itself, that lends itself naturally to becoming a garden, a relaxation area, a space truly lived in. The available land also allows for the construction of a private swimming pool - an element that, in this location and with this aspect, elevates the farmhouse into an exclusive private residence or a high-yield boutique holiday rental.
Just minutes from the Alimini Lakes, the Baia dei Turchi and the finest beaches on the Adriatic coast, this property appeals to those seeking a considered restoration project, an exceptional second home or a sound real estate investment in one of the most desirable areas of Salento.
Location information: Set along the SP151, one of the most sought-after and prestigious roads in the Otranto area, this farmhouse sits nestled within the Mediterranean scrub of Salento. A privileged location, just minutes from the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic coast, combining the privacy of an unspoiled natural setting with easy access to the main road connections.
The surrounding landscape is among the most evocative in Southern Italy: the Alimini Lakes, the Baia dei Turchi and the crystal-clear coves that have made Otranto famous worldwide are all within a short drive. Yet here, far from mass tourism, you can still breathe that rare, unhurried tranquility that has become the true luxury of contemporary Salento.
The area has long been one of the most sought-after for those looking for an independent property surrounded by nature, a characterful holiday home or a real estate investment in a zone with strong residential and hospitality potential. The SP151 is one of the most coveted addresses for those who want to live - or invest - close to the sea without sacrificing privacy, beauty or quality of life.
A rare opportunity, in a setting of outstanding natural beauty, in one of the most desirable locations in the whole of Puglia.
