Nardò - Elegant Masseria with Small Church

Description

Splendid masseria in the heart of Salento history, whose main feature that is evident at first glance, is what is considered Masseria Baronale, since on the second floor lived the "master" of the vast lands and livestock who controlled the peasants at their work. This extraordinary property whose ancient walls reawaken the charm of past centuries, dates back to 1453, and has traversed ages and adventures, keeping its authentic and fascinating spirit intact. Steeped in the mystery of the past, this masseria was once an abandoned farmhouse until it was purchased by the monastery of St. Clare of Nardò in 1453. Over the centuries, it has seen multiple events unfold, keeping its historical aura intact. The complex covers about 2,000 square meters, offering a fascinating combination of history and modern comfort. The main body of the masseria, with its distinctive architectural features, evokes a sense of nobility and grandeur. The arches above the wooden doors, star and barrel vaults are testaments to the timeless elegance of this place. Inside, the atmosphere is one of pure refinement. The second floor is kissed by the natural light that filters through the large windows, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding 16 hectares of land. Here, generous spaces blend harmoniously with period details such as stone fireplaces and solid wood cabinets. The living experience at this masseria goes beyond luxury, embracing the ancient agricultural traditions of Salento. A detached unit completes the ensemble, offering spaces dedicated to working and preserving the agricultural practices of yesteryear. The presence of curing rooms and mangers for animals add a touch of authenticity to this unique experience. In addition, a disused small church of about 35SQM still retains the frescoes and beauties of yesteryear, adding further historical charm to this unparalleled property. Nestled in a natural landscape of rare beauty, this masseria promises a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Its 16 hectares of land offer a lush and serene setting, perfect for those seeking a life in harmony with nature. Discover the timeless charm of this Masseria Salentina.
