Salento Agency is delighted to present an exclusive panoramic plot with approved planning permission for the construction of a prestigious villa with a swimming pool in Santa Maria di Leuca.Some properties offer far more than simply a building plot—they offer the opportunity to create a unique lifestyle. Situated in the elevated part of Santa Maria di Leuca, this exceptional property represents a rare opportunity to build an exclusive residence in one of the most spectacular panoramic locations along the entire Salento coastline.
The agricultural land extends to approximately 10,840 square metres and is accessed via a private road leading off Via Esterna Cuti Seconda, ensuring complete privacy, tranquillity, and an outstanding natural setting.The property’s defining feature is undoubtedly its breathtaking panoramic sea view. Its elevated position enjoys an uninterrupted outlook across the Mediterranean, allowing every room of the future villa to benefit from an extraordinary setting. The sea becomes an integral part of daily life, providing an ever-changing backdrop of colours and light throughout every season.The property already benefits from a fully approved Building Permit (Permesso di Costruire) for the construction of a prestigious summer residence with a private swimming pool, allowing the future owner to proceed immediately without the delays and uncertainty normally associated with obtaining planning consent.
The villa has been designed entirely on one level to maximise comfort, practicality, and elegant living. The approved project includes a spacious open-plan living and dining area, a separate kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, hallways, a garage, and a technical room. Outside, a beautifully integrated 10 x 4 metre swimming pool with a depth of 1.5 metres has been carefully positioned to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating an exceptional outdoor living area where the sea provides a magnificent natural backdrop.The estate also preserves valuable examples of Salento’s traditional rural architecture. A characteristic pajara, the region’s iconic dry-stone rural shelter, stands along the boundary of the property, while the most panoramic section features an ancient enclosed courtyard surrounded by picturesque dry-stone walls, within which a second pajara is located. These historic structures can be restored and enhanced while preserving their authentic character, making them ideal as storage spaces or service buildings for the maintenance of the landscaped grounds. The property is available in two purchasing options. The first consists of acquiring the land together with the fully approved project for €180,000, giving the buyer complete freedom to oversee the construction independently. Alternatively, it is possible to purchase the villa fully completed and ready for immediate occupation under a turnkey arrangement, excluding furnishings. In this case, the final purchase price will be determined according to the finishes, materials, and specifications selected by the client, allowing complete personalisation of the property.Santa Maria di Leuca has long been regarded as one of Puglia’s most prestigious coastal destinations, celebrated for its timeless elegance and extraordinary natural beauty. Towering cliffs alternate with secluded bays of crystal-clear water, spectacular sea caves offer unforgettable excursions, and the Mediterranean displays an ever-changing palette of turquoise and emerald hues.Owning a home or investing in this remarkable corner of Salento means embracing an authentic Mediterranean lifestyle in a place rich in history, tradition, and breathtaking scenery, where the beauty of southern Italy is expressed at its very finest.
