Independent house for sale in Presicce- Acquarica. A traditional salento property to renovate. In the heart of Presicce-Acquarica, Salento Agency is pleased to offer for sale this independent house, an interesting opportunity for anyone looking to restore and reinterpret a traditional Salento home with authentic period features.
Built in the early 1950s, the property retains the original layout and several characteristic elements of the traditional homes found throughout the area. It provides an excellent starting point for a renovation project designed to combine the charm and character of local architecture with the comfort and requirements of contemporary living.
The property occupies a corner position between Via Aquila and Via Dante Alighieri, with its main façade facing Via Aquila. The two street-facing elevations give the house a distinctive presence while also providing a pleasant sense of openness and natural light. The property offers approximately 140 sq m of covered floor space, providing generous proportions and considerable scope for reconfiguring and modernising the interiors.
The entrance opens directly into a spacious hallway running through the house and serving as its main circulation area. The internal layout reflects the architectural style commonly found in homes built during this period, with a series of rooms arranged along the central corridor.
The first two bedrooms are positioned opposite one another, one on either side of the entrance. Continuing along the hallway, two further rooms are reached, while the bathroom is located at the far end of the property on the left.
One of the most appealing features of the house is its direct connection between the interior spaces and the private courtyard. At the end of the hallway, a door leads outside to a private courtyard of approximately 45 sq m. Once renovated and landscaped, this outdoor area could become an important extension of the living space, offering the opportunity to create a charming courtyard for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the natural light and fresh air typical of the Salento lifestyle.
The courtyard also benefits from independent access from Via Dante Alighieri through a gate, adding an extra degree of practicality and flexibility to the property.
From the courtyard, access is provided to one of the property’s most distinctive features: the cellar. This is a spacious and atmospheric room characterised by traditional Salento vaulted ceilings, immediately evoking the architectural heritage of the region.
The vaulted ceilings are a genuine expression of local craftsmanship and could, following an appropriate restoration, become the defining feature of a particularly striking space. Subject to the property’s technical and planning requirements, the cellar could either retain its original purpose or be reinterpreted as an additional ancillary area forming part of the future residence.
The house is currently in need of renovation and requires substantial works, both in terms of the building itself and the upgrading of the existing systems, services and finishes. However, its current condition also offers considerable freedom when it comes to designing the future home.
The existing structure, generous floor area, private courtyard and traditional vaulted cellar provide an exceptional foundation for anyone who is not simply looking for a turnkey property, but instead wishes to create a bespoke home with authentic character and a genuine connection to the history of the area.
This property is therefore particularly suited to buyers interested in restoring a traditional Salento residence while preserving its original character and incorporating contemporary living solutions. Its central location within the municipality, together with the ease of access to the Ionian coast, also makes it potentially attractive not only as a permanent residence but as a holiday home, seasonal retreat or property with potential for tourist accommodation.
Presicce-Acquarica is located in the southern Salento region, in a strategic position between the countryside and the Ionian coastline. The area is renowned for its rich historical and architectural heritage, with traditional homes, courtyards, underground olive mills and numerous reminders of the area’s agricultural and olive-growing traditions.
The proximity to the sea further enhances the appeal of this location. Within a short drive, it is possible to reach some of the best-known seaside destinations along the Ionian coast of Salento, including Torre Pali, Lido Marini, Pescoluse and Posto Vecchio, renowned for their long sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters.
An appealing opportunity for those able to recognise the potential hidden within a property awaiting restoration: a generously proportioned independent house with outdoor space, dual access and authentic Salento architectural details, ready to be transformed into a unique contemporary home while preserving the character and history that make it special.
