Dwelling with trulli in Ostuni: a sustainable oasis amidst history and nature

Nestled in the lush countryside of Ostuni, this property represents a peaceful haven in the heart of the exclusive Valle d'Itria. A sustainable retreat that celebrates biodiversity and narrates the traditions of the past, thanks to careful and conservation-focused restoration, combined with cutting-edge energy-efficient solutions. The ancient history of Apulia comes alive in the five-cone trullo and the lamia, dating back to the 1700s. Embraced by a century-old vine and overlooking a characteristic stone courtyard, these structures serve as independent living units, preserving their original design and exuding the timeless charm of stone. The property also includes a two-nave farmhouse from the early 20th century, spread over two floors and featuring a gabled roof inspired by pre-Roman Messapian constructions. On the ground floor, the farmhouse boasts the characteristic Trani stone flooring, leading to a spacious living area with a fireplace, a bright traditional kitchen, and a versatile space with parquet flooring and large windows, perfect for a fitness room. The ground floor is completed by a large bathroom, a laundry room, and an independent apartment with private pedestrian access and a secluded patio. The first floor, with parquet flooring throughout, features four double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a reading area overlooking the ancient courtyard, and an expansive suite offering views of the trullo cones. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The outdoor spaces invite you to savor the tranquility of the natural surroundings, with equipped areas perfect for convivial gatherings or moments of relaxation. Near a majestic centuries-old walnut tree, an outdoor courtyard houses a barbecue area with a wood-fired oven, adjacent to a spacious gazebo offering breathtaking views of the greenery. In a secluded part of the estate, where silence and privacy provide unparalleled peace, there is an above-ground swimming pool harmoniously integrated into the landscape, framed by an ancient reed bed. Enclosed by original dry-stone walls and accessible through two entrances, the property preserves the essence of Mediterranean vegetation, with 200 trees, including olive, oak, holm oak, myrtle, fruit trees, ornamental plants, and antique roses. The estate boasts complete self-sufficiency in energy and water supply thanks to a photovoltaic system, an artesian well, and energy-efficient solutions, such as thermal insulation and high-performance thermal break windows, certifying the farmhouse with an A+ energy rating. Accommodating up to 20 guests, the property represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a private residence immersed in nature or an investment in a tourist hospitality venture, benefiting from an established setup that generates immediate income.
