In the heart of the Salento countryside, in the hamlet of Scalelle, in the rural area of Morciano di Leuca, we are offering for sale a property with a unique character, situated just 900 metres from the sea and set amidst a natural landscape of rare beauty.
An ideal choice for those wishing to invest in a place brimming with charm, where the tranquillity of the countryside meets the proximity to the coast and the ancient architectural traditions of the region.
The property comprises a villa in its original, unrenovated state in Torre Vado, spread over two levels, a group of ancient rural buildings typical of the Salento region, and approximately 4,600 square metres of agricultural land for the exclusive use of the owners. This combination of elements offers interesting possibilities for personalisation and restoration, allowing you to create a residential project that enhances both the existing spaces and the traditional architectural heritage.
The villa comprises a ground floor for residential use and a basement. On the main floor there is a kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms – spaces to be finished and personalised according to your own tastes and needs. The spacious front porch is one of the most pleasant areas of the property: a perfect spot to relax outdoors, host lunches and dinners during the warmer months, and admire the stunning sea view. On the lower level there is a large cellar, whilst an external staircase leads up to the panoramic terrace, from which you can enjoy a privileged view of the surrounding landscape.
About 30 metres from the villa lies a small complex of ancient rural buildings, comprising two ‘pajare’, two traditional ovens and an ancient courtyard. These structures tell the story of Salento’s rural heritage and retain the charm of traditional building techniques. Through a meticulous restoration project, it will be possible to breathe new life into them, creating unique spaces rich in character that blend seamlessly with the authentic character of the property.
The surrounding land, covering approximately 4,600 square metres, is set in unspoilt countryside, enhanced by dry-stone walls, Mediterranean vegetation and dirt tracks winding through the countryside. The location guarantees privacy and direct contact with nature, whilst still offering the convenience of being just a few minutes’ drive from the sea.
The existing villa can be modified, offering the opportunity to adapt the rooms to suit your needs. Furthermore, it is possible to purchase an adjoining plot of land on which planning permission has already been granted for the construction of a 60-square-metre family home with an adjoining swimming pool, further expanding the prospects for property development.
Salento Agency offers support even after the purchase, guiding clients through the design and completion of any outstanding building works, with the aim of transforming this exciting opportunity into a finished and enhanced property.
A short distance away lies Marina di Torre Vado, a resort much loved for its seafront promenade, marina and crystal-clear sea. The Capo di Leuca area, with its cliffs, coves, historic villages and Mediterranean views, retains a special charm and an authentic atmosphere. Salento, with its beaches, centuries-old countryside, traditions, cuisine and the warm welcome of its people, offers the ideal setting for those looking for a home by the sea or wishing to undertake a property development project in one of Puglia’s most picturesque areas.
