DESCRIPTION

A 3-room farmhouse of 50 sqm with a large olive grove of 9368 sqm is looking for a new owner!  It is located in the quiet countryside four km northeast of San Vito dei Normanni, which has all the amenities. The Adriatic Sea with many beaches is closby, at 8 km, and to the nearest airport at Brindisi it is 25 km (about 25 minutes drive). The house needs modernisation and can be extended, making 156 sqm gross, whereof storage 62 sqm. A veranda of 30 % of the building size can be built, or maximum 48 sqm. A pool can be installed, maximum 10 m x 4 m.  Making a staircase and creating a roof terrace is recommended for extra living space!. It would be a lovely area in the summer, getting the views and catching the breeze! CasaPuglia offers comprehensive project management services and can assist from the pre evaluation phase and superwise the building works from start to ready to move in.

The area has scattered houses and there is one neighboring house, a renovated trullo about 100 meters away, on the other three sites there are olive trees and farmland. So, the location is private.


Torre Guaceto is a nature reserve of 22.000 sq. km. Serranova is the centre of the Reserve. A visitor’s centre on the main street tells you all about the area.

Torre Guaceto offers a wonderful light- and noise-free environment. Still within ten minutes you can be in the lively seaside resorts of Santa Sabina and Specchiolla.

Everyone in the rural area knows each other, and you can expect a visit from the local farmers bearing gifts of locally grown produce.
The area has many small towns, restaurants, and bars serving locally caught fish.

You may cycle and walk, taking in all the area's history. The Roman Via Appia is just minutes away, The Normal legacy is found in the local towns of San Vito and Carovigno and Brindisi has the famous Roman museum.

If you go to the beach late at night, you might see the locals wading into the water to catch sea life. Watching them with little lamps strapped to their heads, their net on the back, olive oil in an old washing-up liquid bottle, and a spear is funny. They squirt a little drop of olive oil on the surface, and the squid go crazy!!!

The beaches are small and exclusive, and there are no hotels or fast food places on site for 20 km. Bliss!!!! In the summer, mobile food and drink units go to the beach, the best of both worlds.

The surrounding area has no buildings more than two storeys, so there are no large hotels, condos, or apartment blocks.
The ancient forest of olive trees is magnificent, and it’s fantastic to cycle or drive through. The tree's roots come from the ground like twisted legs, and the branches look like arms. The thick trunks are scored and have large knots almost looking like faces, it reminds you of the trees in the Lord of the Rings.

When you drive through the nature reserve, you are almost deafened by the noise of the crickets sitting in the trees.

The beaches are ideal family places. Shallow coves and protected areas visit the beach a pleasure. The beaches are deserted in the winter and very rarely busy at other times. July and August get busy with Italians from the north, but the whole experience of watching Italian families interact is excellent.

20 minutes south is Brindisi a cosmopolitan town of 80,000 inhabitants. English is more widely spoken here as Brindisi has a UN base of 400 employees and many expats from different countries. Brindisi also has an International school. In Brindisi, you can take language classes and go to cooking schools!

Finally, you are surrounded by olive groves: The olives are harvested in December to February and are handpicked to ensure they produce the best grade of extra virgin olive oil.

WHAT TO SEE:
From the farmhouse, the beaches of the Adriatic Sea are easily reached in approximately 15 minutes. Guna Beach is closest to the beautiful nature reserve TORRE GUACETO, close to the sea. It offers an attractive escape from beach resorts as you find unspoiled beaches and no cars allowed here. The parking is at the visitor's centre, and there are organized nature walks, cycle trekking and snorkelling trips.

The property has the advantage of being so close to a central area of world interest - the beautiful Ostuni, the "white city"; to the charming Cisternino; to other sites like the mile-long caves of CASTELLANA; the archaeological excavations of the Roman EGNATIA by the Adriatic coastline; the Trulli houses of ALBEROBELLO - a UNESCO World Heritage site: the medieval town of ORIA; the wealthy baroque town of MARTINA FRANCA ; the Zoo Safari Park of FASANO (lots of fun for children and adults alike); the caves of POLIGNANO A MARE, well known also for its tasty ice cream; GROTTAGLIE famous for its ceramics and old stone carvings; and last but not least the famous baroque city of LECCE which is called the Florence of the South. Lecce is a beautiful town for long walks, enjoying the fantastic atmosphere, bars, outside restaurants and great shops. Lecce can be reached in 45 minutes and has countless medical churches and a great richness of architecture. The famous Roman amphibian theatre is also used in town for music and drama performances in the open during summer.

Further to the south, inland SALENTO has several charming historical villages with ancient history. The townhouses often come with a garden and roof terrace, and it's fascinating to open the simple door from the street - and inside, almost like a little palace with a garden!
In Sternatina and Martignano to the south of Lecce, antique Greek is still spoken by the villagers.
MAGLIE is like a mini Lecce with many fine buildings. MURO LECCESE is more diminutive and represents a small town/village with an excellent architectural history. RUFFANO has many fine old buildings for sale, waiting to find new owners and to be restored. Surano has a small town centre with very excellent antique facilities for sale. SPONGANO is a small village surrounded by olive groves. Here, you can see grand secluded villas and country retreats owned by foreigners and families from North Italy who come to relax in rural Salento.
The east coast of Salento is rougher than the southwest and for people who enjoy the sea and fishing. It is somewhat more elegant than the East Coast. CASTRO is beautiful with its location on top of the cliff by the sea and many villas with direct access to the sea. SANTA CESAREA TERME is a popular spa resort with a beautiful setting and bay.
The cost from SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA to GALLIPOLI has many fine sandy beaches. The villages are perhaps not the prettiest, but there is room for beach life, pizzerias, restaurants and disco music in the summertime.
SANTA CATARINA is also well known for its many fine villas in the area, some of them antique.
The sea outside PORTO CESAREO, further up the coast, is probably the most beautiful and fantastic sunset.

GETTING THERE:
By air, there is a choice of two international airports, served by Ryanair, Easyjet, BA and others, both easily reached: nearby Brindisi in the south in approximately 25 minutes (18 km) and Bari in the north by car on the motorway in about 80 minutes (117 km).

MORE TO SEE IN APULIA:
BARI is the commercial capital city with 250 000 inhabitants, offers the best shopping, a grand opera house called the Petruzzelli teatro and a large medical city centre with many museums. Just north of Bari lies a little town called GIOVINAZZO, a true gem, right by the sea. Further north is Molfetta Outlet, a famous shopping galleria and 20 minutes further is TRANI, a sophisticated town with a beautiful half-moon bay & marina. Continue north to CASTEL DEL MONTE, the mystical castle Frederic II built in the 14th Century.
Within a 2.5-hour drive to the North of Bari lies GARGANO, the peninsula called the spur of the Italian boot. Gargano forms a significant nature and wildlife Reserve and offers hiking and scenic trips around the peninsula. From here, there are daily boat trips to the small TREMITI ISLANDS.

LIFESTYLE AND CULTURE:
The Italian lifestyle means many things, especially socializing; the home is used for sleeping and breakfast, and the Italians go out for enjoyment and dining. There are so much you can experience, like early morning markets in small towns, music festivals, religious carnivals, beach life, historical tours in the main towns, cooking classes, learning Italian at language schools in Lecce, dining at the many country and seaside restaurants, and nightclubs at the beach clubs of Capitolo.

SPORTS:
As Apulia is a peninsula surrounded by two seas- the Adriatic in the north and the Ionic in the south - water sports dominate in the area; sailing, yachting, water skiing, kite-surfing, swimming & beach life. Golf has five good courses, and San Domenico is world class (PGA 2014 Challenge Final). Squash clubs are located in Bari, Bitonto and other places. Tennis, horseback riding, hiking and bicycle tours are other options for the active-minded.

THE WEATHER:
Being south, Apulia has warmer weather than Northern Italy; even in the "winter months" of December to February, the average number of sun hours per day is four and 10-11 sun hours per day in June-August! This means you can enjoy a long season of nice weather in Apulia. When you plan to buy a holiday home in Apulia, think you will spend much more time outside than inside and at home. Therefore, you will need plenty of terrace space, pergolas, etc., at your Apulian property, and also, cooking facilities outside are convenient.

The water temperature at the beginning of May is, on average, 19 degrees, up to 27 degrees in August/September and 19 degrees in November. Wherever you are in Apulia, you can reach the shores within 30 minutes! This means you & family will spend time at the beach.

WHY BUY IN APULIA?
Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Florence, Venice and the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in the infrastructure, such as the improved motorways, enlarged airports and the introduction of low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia, and inadequate means value for money at bargain prices for international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia, and in our opinion, investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand. Also, for northern Italians, Apulia has become Italians' most popular holiday destination. But rest assured, no tourist villages will ever be built because the coastline is protected in Apulia, and people are against modern developments that do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, prices are bound to rise with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties,
