The property sits in the heart of the Valle d’Itria, along Strada Papadomenico on the way to Martina Franca. It features an original trullo that requires a comprehensive renovation, set within agricultural land of approximately 2,780 sqm. The location offers a balance between rural privacy and reasonable proximity to nearby
villages, making it attractive for buyers interested in a quiet retreat or a hospitality project. The layout preserves traditional forms and construction materials characteristic of Puglia, providing a strong base for a sensitive restoration that retains local identity.
Sold free at deed, the property includes an independent lamia and the historic trullo composed of two main rooms plus an alcove. The current condition is defined as to be restored, which opens opportunities to redesign internal flows while
respecting rural heritage rules. There are concrete planning opportunities: permission for a modest extension up to 30 sqm and the possibility to obtain a project for an in-ground pool, both of which can enhance private enjoyment or boost tourist rental value.
Property overview
The historic nucleus of the estate comprises an authentic trullo with two primary rooms and an alcove that retains its traditional conical roof and stonework. Beside it stands a separate lamia,
which can serve as a guest annex, a home office, or ancillary space for storage and services. The surrounding agricultural land presents open views across the typical Puglian countryside and guarantees privacy without complete isolation, as access to local centers is convenient. The site is particularly well suited to clients seeking to combine conservation ethos with contemporary comforts.
Layout and restoration potential
The existing floorplan offers flexibility: the two rooms of the trullo can be preserved as essential living spaces or reconfigured into distinct day and night areas to improve functionality. The alcove can be adapted into a bedroom, a quiet sitting area, or a studio zone. The separate lamia increases options for independent hospitality or a professional workspace. Because the property is catalogued as to be restored, the buyer can adopt a conservative restoration approach that emphasizes rebuilding traditional elements such as dry stone walls and the conical roofs, or choose a more contemporary renovation that integrates modern systems while honoring the original character.
Expansion and pool possibilities
Local planning allowances allow an extension up to 30 sqm, a practical margin for adding a bathroom, a kitchen area, or a small living annex without overwhelming the rural setting. Additionally, an approvable design for an in-ground pool can be pursued, increasing appeal for holiday rentals and enhancing private leisure. These permitted interventions are significant because they permit tangible value creation while maintaining respect for the landscape and regional building regulations.
Uses, investment appeal and practical checks
This property adapts easily to several use cases: a restored Second home, a full-time residence, a boutique holiday rental, or a small hospitality venture aimed at visitors to Puglia. The Valle d’Itria is a destination with steady demand for authentic rural accommodations, and a thoughtfully executed restoration can attract strong seasonal returns. Investors and private buyers alike will find the combination of land, permitted additions and an original trullo to be a compelling package when paired with a sound renovation plan.
Due diligence and recommendations
Before proceeding, prospective buyers should verify key technical and administrative aspects: the feasibility of the planned 30 sqm extension and pool, the availability and connection of utilities, and the current condition of existing building systems. A detailed estimate of restoration costs is essential, since prices vary with material choices and the scope of interventions. A site visit is recommended to assess access, micro-topography and the real potential of the land, and to confirm any cadastral and planning constraints.
