Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Morciano di Leuca, this exclusive property perfectly combines the timeless charm of traditional Salento architecture with the comfort and efficiency of a contemporary home. The sale includes approximately 5,500 square metres of agricultural land, entirely enclosed by characteristic dry-stone walls, on which a stunning new villa with a private swimming pool will be built.
Construction is scheduled to begin by January 2027, giving the future owner the opportunity to personalise selected finishes and design features, creating a home that reflects their own style and preferences.
The villa has been thoughtfully designed on a single level, with a gross floor area of approximately 130 square metres, offering elegant, bright, and highly functional living spaces. The interiors will showcase the region’s distinctive Lecce stone vaulted ceilings, an iconic feature of Salento’s architectural heritage. The spacious open-plan living room and kitchen, together with the two bedrooms, will feature magnificent traditional star-vaulted ceilings (volte a stella), while the two bathrooms will be finished with classic barrel-vaulted ceilings (volte a botte), creating interiors of exceptional character and elegance.
The outdoor areas have been designed to be enjoyed throughout the day. At the front of the property, a pergola of approximately 25 square metres will provide the perfect setting for outdoor dining or a stylish relaxation area, while a practical technical room will be positioned at the rear of the villa to accommodate the property’s mechanical systems.
An external staircase will lead to the private rooftop terrace, a panoramic space that, at the purchaser’s request, can be equipped with a photovoltaic system, further enhancing the villa’s energy efficiency and reducing long-term operating costs.
Adding to the property’s appeal is a private swimming pool of approximately 30 square metres, beautifully integrated into the surrounding landscape and designed to provide the ultimate space for relaxation during the warmer months. The land is enhanced by fruit trees and the typical Mediterranean vegetation that characterises the Salento countryside, creating an authentic and peaceful setting where the colours and fragrances of the region become part of everyday living.
Every stage of construction will be carried out using premium-quality materials and high-specification building techniques, with particular attention paid to craftsmanship, finishes, and respect for the area’s traditional architectural character. While preserving the authentic style of Salento country homes, the project also allows for the personalisation of selected features, enabling the future owner to tailor the property to their individual requirements.
From a technical perspective, the villa will be equipped with a subsurface irrigation wastewater disposal system, an efficient solution widely adopted in rural properties throughout the region. Water will be supplied via a large storage cistern filled by tanker deliveries, ensuring a reliable water reserve throughout the year.
This property is an ideal choice for those seeking an exclusive residence surrounded by nature, as well as for investors looking to capitalise on the thriving luxury holiday rental market. Just a few minutes away lies Torre Vado, one of the most popular seaside resorts in the Capo di Leuca area, renowned for its elegant waterfront promenade, marina, crystal-clear waters, and close proximity to the spectacular beaches of Pescoluse, widely regarded as some of the finest in Salento.
