Nestled in the peaceful Salento countryside, just minutes from the sea and the charming town of Morciano di Leuca, this property offers a unique opportunity to create an exclusive residence in one of the most sought-after areas of Capo di Leuca.
Salento Agency is pleased to present this exceptional property, set on approximately 7,000 sqm (1.73 acres) of land in a highly convenient location with direct access from the provincial road. The plot is bordered on three sides by traditional dry-stone walls, enhancing the beauty of the surrounding landscape while ensuring a high degree of privacy. The town centre is only 1.5 km away, while the crystal-clear waters and beautiful beaches of the Ionian coast can be reached in less than five minutes by car, at a distance of approximately 2.8 km.
The sale includes an approved project for the construction of a villa that reinterprets the authentic architectural traditions of Salento with a contemporary design. The residence will be built entirely on one level, providing maximum comfort, practicality, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The interior layout has been carefully designed to ensure exceptional comfort and functionality. The entrance opens into a spacious open-plan living area featuring a bright lounge and kitchen, conceived as the heart of the home and the ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully separated from the living area and include three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a practical hallway providing easy access to every room.
Particular attention has been devoted to the architectural details. The living room, bedrooms, and covered veranda will feature the traditional volte a stella (star-vaulted ceilings), one of the finest expressions of Lecce’s architectural heritage, while the bathrooms and hallway will showcase classic barrel-vaulted ceilings. These distinctive elements give the future home character, elegance, and a strong connection to the region’s rich architectural tradition.
At the front of the villa, a generous covered stone veranda will provide the perfect outdoor living space, allowing residents to enjoy the Mediterranean climate throughout much of the year. It is an ideal setting for al fresco dining, relaxing, or simply appreciating the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
The project also includes the option to build a 40 sqm private swimming pool (10 x 4 metres), adding further value to the property and making it particularly attractive both as a prestigious holiday home and as a luxury rental investment.
The asking price of €190,000 refers to the villa sold in its shell-and-core (unfinished) condition. At delivery, the property will not include finishing works such as electrical and plumbing systems, flooring, wall finishes, plastering, external windows and doors, internal doors, bathroom fixtures, sanitary ware, or taps.
For buyers seeking a move-in-ready residence, it is possible to arrange with the owner for the complete construction of the villa through to turnkey completion. This option allows purchasers to personalise every aspect of the property, selecting finishes, flooring, wall coverings, windows, doors, systems, and interior details according to their own taste, resulting in a truly bespoke home.
Morciano di Leuca is one of the most charming villages in the Capo di Leuca area, preserving the authentic character of Salento while offering all essential services throughout the year. Just a short distance away lies Torre Vado, a popular seaside resort renowned for its marina, attractive waterfront promenade, restaurants, and crystal-clear waters. From here, some of Salento’s most celebrated beaches—including Pescoluse, often referred to as the “Maldives of Salento” for its fine white sand and shallow turquoise waters—are easily accessible.
Today, Salento is considered one of the Mediterranean’s most desirable destinations, celebrated for its spectacular coastline, timeless rural landscapes dotted with centuries-old olive trees and traditional dry-stone walls, rich cultural heritage, and a tourism market that continues to grow year after year.
This property therefore represents a rare opportunity to create a villa with authentic Mediterranean character, equally suited as an exclusive private residence or as an outstanding investment in the luxury hospitality market.
