DESCRIPTION:

Antica Casina Rurale of 160 square meters of living space, immersed in a vast land of 12,555 square meters, unique of its kind in Sternatia, in the province of Lecce.

The ancient house, distributed on two levels, embodies the archetype of the rural building of Salento, with its distinctive tower structure that stands proudly. Adjacent to the main residence, there is a building with traditional lines, originally used as a stable and characterized by a pitched roof in tiles.

Dominating the entrance of the property, the house stands out on a land mainly intended for cultivation, but enriched by the presence of secular olive trees, prickly pears and typical Mediterranean vegetation, enriched by a small eucalyptus forest that gives a touch of freshness near the house.

The surrounding land offers ample opportunities for development: thanks to the support of our agency, you can get the necessary permits for the recovery and restoration of the existing rural building, as well as for the construction of a swimming pool, thus making this place an oasis of tranquility and relaxation.

The privileged location of this Antica Casina Rurale with land is just 3 minutes from the town of Sternatia and about 20 minutes from the lively city of Lecce. Sternatia, one of the twelve municipalities that make up the ancient Grecìa Salentina, jealously guards its Hellenic roots. Here, in fact, we still speak a dialect very similar to ancient Greek, the griko, living testimony of a deep historical and cultural link with ancient Greece.

In addition to the linguistic richness, the area boasts a myriad of traditions handed down over time, such as the evocative Passion Song in griko during the Easter period, and numerous examples of local architecture that recall the glories of the Greek past. Immersing yourself in this land means not only buying a property, but becoming part of a thousand-year history, where the charm of the ancient blends harmoniously with the beauty of nature and the liveliness of local culture.
