SOLD - Lovely, large ancient masseria set in the countryside north of Alberobello, between the famous Castellana caves and the coastal town of Monopoli - just 10 minutes drive from local beaches.
Built in the local stone, this building is in the typical style of these masserie, with animal stalls and large vaulted entrance rooms on the ground floor and then the large rooms (with tiled floors throughout) of the original living quarters on the first floor.
The building is structurally sound but needs complete restoration, especially of the ground floor, to turn it into living accommodation. There are a wealth of original features throughout the building including many open fireplaces and the tiled floors.
There is a huge garden with 304 olive trees that have recently been pruned and are in good condition. There is also planning permission for six apartments to be built on the land - something that is extremely difficult to get in this area.
