Just a few minutes from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian coast of Salento, in a peaceful yet easily accessible location, we are pleased to offer for sale a villa currently under construction, situated in the municipality of Salve along Via Schiafazzi, approximately 5.5 km (3.4 miles) from the stunning beaches of Pescoluse.Salento Agency presents a property designed to combine the timeless charm of traditional Salento architecture with the comfort and functionality of a modern residence. This is a unique opportunity for the future owner to complete and customize the interiors according to their personal taste and lifestyle requirements.The villa stands on a generous plot of approximately 4,000 sqm (43,000 sq ft), offering exceptional privacy, tranquility, and endless landscaping possibilities. The surrounding land can be transformed into a beautiful Mediterranean garden featuring outdoor entertaining areas, relaxation spaces, and—subject to the necessary planning approvals—a private swimming pool, further enhancing the property’s exclusivity.The villa is arranged over two independent yet fully integrated levels.The raised ground floor welcomes guests through a spacious masonry portico, an architectural feature that naturally extends the living space outdoors and provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxing. The internal layout includes a kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom.The interiors are enhanced by some of the most distinctive architectural elements of the local tradition. Elegant star-vaulted ceilings and the characteristic groin vault add character and authenticity, creating the warm, refined atmosphere that defines traditional Salento homes.The lower ground floor, accessed via a convenient external staircase, benefits from excellent natural light and offers remarkable versatility. It currently comprises a large open-plan area together with two additional rooms, each with its own private bathroom. This level is ideally suited for a guest apartment, hobby room, wellness area, home office, or additional accommodation for holiday rentals.From a technical perspective, the construction is already at an advanced stage. Internal and external plasterwork has been completed, marble window sills have been installed, and the main utility systems—including electrical, plumbing, and air-conditioning installations—have already been pre-installed. This allows the final phase of construction to be completed within a relatively short timeframe while leaving complete freedom in the selection of finishes and materials.The property is offered either in its current condition or with the option to agree on the completion of the project directly with the owner. This alternative allows the buyer to receive a fully finished, move-in-ready home, completed according to their own preferences regarding materials, finishes, and construction details. The final purchase price will depend on the level of completion and the specifications selected.
As is typical for independent rural properties in Salento, the installation of a rainwater storage cistern—supplied either by a private well or water delivery service—and a sub-irrigation wastewater treatment system will be required. Connection to the electricity network, however, is straightforward and easily achievable.This property represents an outstanding opportunity both for those seeking a peaceful private residence surrounded by nature and for investors wishing to develop a high-quality holiday rental property. Demand continues to grow for independent villas offering generous outdoor spaces and close proximity to the sea.Pescoluse, renowned for its fine white sandy beaches and stunning turquoise waters often referred to as the “Maldives of Salento,” is one of the area’s most sought-after seaside destinations. Nearby Torre Pali is another charming coastal village that has retained the authentic character of a traditional fishing community while offering excellent amenities, restaurants, and a picturesque promenade overlooking the Ionian Sea.Salve, with its charming historic centre, rich architectural heritage, local traditions, and privileged location between the countryside and the coastline, is one of the most attractive municipalities in the Capo di Leuca area—a destination that continues to attract visitors and property investors from across Italy and around the world.
