Located on the outskirts of Salve, in a peaceful yet easily accessible setting, this outstanding property comprises approximately 37,600 square metres of agricultural land, served by multiple access points from municipal roads. Thanks to its naturally elevated position, the land enjoys pleasant panoramic views stretching across the surrounding countryside and towards the Ionian Sea, creating a truly enchanting setting throughout the year.
The generous size of the estate allows you to experience the authentic character of rural Salento. Part of the land is suitable for cultivation, while another section preserves the area’s beautiful Mediterranean scrubland, home to native species such as mastic trees, myrtle, juniper, thyme, rosemary, rockrose, and many other aromatic plants that perfume the air and enhance the landscape in every season.
Adding significant value to the property is the construction of a detached villa, already underway in accordance with a fully approved planning permission. The residence has been thoughtfully designed to offer bright, practical living spaces that combine comfort with contemporary functionality. The proposed layout includes a spacious open-plan living area incorporating the lounge, dining room, and kitchen, together with three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a practical storage room that can easily be converted into a second bathroom, further enhancing the home’s comfort and flexibility.
Within the grounds stands a traditional pajara, one of Salento’s characteristic dry-stone rural buildings. This charming historic structure represents an important architectural feature of the region and, once restored, could serve as agricultural storage, a utility building, or a workshop while preserving the authentic rural heritage that makes this part of Puglia so distinctive.
The project has also been carefully designed from a technical perspective. It includes the construction of a rainwater collection cistern for water storage and supply, together with a modern subsurface wastewater disposal system, ensuring the property blends harmoniously with its natural rural surroundings while meeting modern environmental standards.
The property is offered at the advertised price with the villa completed to a builder’s shell (unfinished) stage, providing the perfect opportunity for buyers to customise the interior layout, mechanical systems, finishes, and decorative details according to their own taste and lifestyle.
For purchasers seeking a fully completed residence, the owner also offers the possibility of delivering the villa on a turnkey basis. Every aspect of the final construction—including flooring, wall finishes, fixtures, windows, doors, bathrooms, kitchen installations, and finishing materials—can be selected together with the future owner, resulting in a bespoke home tailored to individual preferences. The final purchase price will naturally vary according to the specifications, materials, and level of finish chosen.
Properties of this calibre are becoming increasingly rare in one of Salento’s most desirable locations. Whether acquired as a private residence, an exclusive holiday home, or a long-term real estate investment, this estate offers an exceptional combination of privacy, generous outdoor space, sea views, and excellent development potential in an area where demand continues to grow steadily.
Salve is one of the most elegant and authentic villages of the Capo di Leuca, celebrated for its rich history, traditional character, and exceptional quality of life. Throughout the year it offers a peaceful atmosphere, while during the summer months it comes alive with cultural events, local festivals, excellent restaurants, and the welcoming hospitality for which Salento is renowned.
Just five kilometres away lies Pescoluse, one of Italy’s most famous seaside destinations. Often referred to as the “Maldives of Salento,” Pescoluse is celebrated for its kilometres of golden sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and gently sloping seabed, creating a breathtaking coastal landscape reminiscent of tropical shores. Its pristine beaches, vibrant beach clubs, and spectacular sunsets have made it one of the most sought-after destinations along the Ionian coast of Puglia.
This remarkable property offers the opportunity to create a bespoke home immersed in nature while enjoying sea views, complete privacy, and easy access to some of the finest beaches in southern Italy—an investment in both lifestyle and lasting value.
