Building Plot in the Heart of Casarano’s Residential District

Located in one of Casarano’s most sought-after and fast-growing residential areas, this attractive building plot on Via Fabrizio De André represents an excellent opportunity for developers, investors, or families seeking to create bespoke residential solutions in a quiet, well-organized, and well-connected setting.
The lot falls within zoning area P.N. 3.1 as defined by the municipality’s General Urban Development Plan (PUG), which allows for the construction of single-family and semi-detached homes. Current zoning regulations ensure a harmonious and sustainable urban layout, with attention to architectural quality, privacy, and green spaces—ideal for a modern and comfortable lifestyle.

Although the overall land area is currently larger, once the mandatory portions designated for public services—such as roadways, sidewalks, and access routes—are transferred, the net buildable surface will measure approximately 4,300 square meters. This provides the foundation for a highly valuable residential project, supported by a building coefficient of 0.28 sqm/sqm.
This index allows for the construction of up to seven fully independent villas, each offering approximately 160 sqm of covered space on individual plots of about 500 sqm, complete with private gardens and the option to add a swimming pool.

The future homes may be designed in various architectural styles to suit individual preferences, while maintaining visual harmony within the surrounding landscape. Each villa may feature premium materials, intelligent layouts, and high energy-efficiency standards. Interior configurations can include spacious open-plan living areas overlooking the garden, bright and functional kitchens, three double bedrooms, three fully equipped bathrooms, and additional service rooms such as laundry, storage, and garage spaces.
Each unit may also include a basement level, perfect for a private lounge, home office, hobby room, or fitness area.

This residential project offers an appealing alternative to high-density development, emphasizing independence, construction quality, and overall wellbeing. The option to integrate a private pool significantly enhances the value of each villa, making the investment attractive both for the local market and for potential mid-to-high-end residential or tourist-oriented use.
Given the increasing demand for detached homes in Puglia—now among the most desirable regions nationally and internationally—this plot also presents strong potential for fractional sales or seasonal rental investment.

Historical Overview of Casarano

Casarano is one of the most representative towns of the lower Salento area, boasting ancient origins and a rich stratified history. The earliest traces of human presence date back to the Messapian era, as evidenced by archaeological findings discovered in the surrounding countryside. During Roman times, the area gained further importance due to its strategic position along inland routes leading toward the Cape of Leuca.

The name “Casarano” appears more frequently during the Middle Ages, when the settlement began to take shape around religious buildings and rural clusters. Under Byzantine and later Norman rule, the town expanded both economically and urbanistically, developing a strong agricultural identity, especially in the production of olive oil and wine.

One of Casarano’s most significant historical landmarks is the Church of Santa Maria della Croce, built between the 8th and 9th centuries and renowned for its extraordinary Byzantine frescoes—among the most important in all of Salento. Over the centuries, the town continued to grow around the Mother Church of San Giovanni Elemosiniere and the noble residences that shaped its social and cultural identity.

The 17th and 18th centuries marked a period of particular prosperity, reflected in several civil and religious buildings in Baroque and Neoclassical style. By the 19th century, Casarano had become a key hub for agricultural trade, supported by the presence of underground olive mills and a flourishing artisan tradition.

During the 20th century, the town experienced a significant economic boom thanks to the footwear industry, which transformed Casarano into one of the main manufacturing centers of southern Italy. Today, its economy is supported by a balanced mix of craftsmanship, industry, services, and tourism.

Casarano is now a vibrant town equipped with all essential amenities, strategically located just a short drive from the beautiful Ionian coast and well connected to Lecce, Gallipoli, and the most popular destinations in Salento.
Via De André lies within a peaceful and well-maintained residential neighborhood, conveniently close to key roads, commercial activities, schools, healthcare facilities, and sports centers.
