Palace for Sale in Aradeo

ARADEO - LECCE - SALENTO
For sale elegant historic palace with garden
In the charming town centre of Aradeo, located just a few kilometres from the sea, we are delighted to present an elegant palace dating back to 1894.
The property is spread over three levels (ground floor, first and second floor) for a total surface area of about 660 sqm and is enhanced by a large garden at the rear.
The historic façade, decorated with refined ornamental details and elegant arches carved in carparo stone, immediately draws our attention and gently leads us inside the property.
On the "piano nobile" (first floor) is the main residence of approximately 300 sqm, a true expression of elegance and refinement.
On this level you can find original antique floors, harmonious wall tones, delicate wallpapers including a silk panel, and high ceilings decorated with beautiful frescoes.
The apartment consists of three large living rooms, a study, a dining room, a spacious and liveable kitchen, three bedrooms (one with a charming balcony), and two bathrooms, and is served by a terrace of 30 sqm.
Thanks to its double entrances and current layout, the apartment can easily be divided into two almost symmetrical units. Each one already features an independent entrance, living and sleeping areas, with fully functioning systems.
On the ground floor, a charming vaulted entrance hall, also accessible by vehicles, leads to the magnificent internal garden of approximately 1,300 sqm, offering potential for further construction. The garden is enriched by trees and plants of various species and a picturesque central pathway leading to a fountain and an ancient well.
Also on the ground floor there is a 50 sqm one-bedroom apartment with bathroom, two 45-sqm workshop spaces facing the street front, and a vaulted storage room with exposed stone of approximately 120 sqm.
The second floor hosts an attic of three rooms of about 60 sqm and a large roof terrace extending over multiple levels.
The property is perfectly suited both as an exclusive private residence and as a luxury accomodation. The bedroom area can be complemented by the use of the rear garden, ideal for catering, breakfasts, and events. The roof terrace can be enhanced as a panoramic space, while the ground floor spaces offer great flexibility and multiple uses. The building also features two staircases, a noble staircase and a service one, ensuring efficient access management between representative areas and functional spaces, thus improving overall usability.
In addition, beneath the storage area, the palace includes a large rainwater cistern, accessible both from the garden and the kitchen, from which water was historically drawn.
Aradeo enjoys a strategic location, just 13 km from the beautiful beaches of the Ionian Sea and the city of Gallipoli, 15 km from Otranto on the Adriatic Sea, 30 km from Lecce, and 70 km from Brindisi Airport.
