Ceglie Messapica, Apulia 72013

Masseria Pietra Bianca rises one kilometer from the road that connects Ostuni to Ceglie Messapica. This historic stone residence is the emblem of the Valle dItria, where the rural past dialogues in perfect harmony with contemporary refinement, and absolute tranquility combines with easy accessibility. Surrounded by a magnificent landscape, the masseria has been preserved and sublimated by a masterful authorial restoration, where the highest standards of modern comfort have not altered the austere beauty of traditional lines. The roughly 200 square meters of covered area unfold under majestic star-shaped and pavilion vaults, granting a sense of breath and continuity: large glass walls turn the landscape into living paintings, while each bedroom enjoys private access, toward the quiet of a garden or a secret courtyard or toward the views from the upper terraces. On the ground floor a hallway immediately reveals the houses striking personality. From here you access an internal courtyard, bounded by dry stone walls, on which sits the first bedroom currently used as a bright artists studio with walk-in wardrobe and private bathroom. Beyond the guest bathroom, the heart of conviviality is the design kitchen flooded with light, with a central island. In continuity with the kitchen, the large dining area becomes the ideal space to host and share, leading to a spectacular master suite. The latter, enriched by a romantic mezzanine and a private bathroom, overlooks a small fragrant citrus grove. The living area revolves around a distinctive niche that houses the fireplace. A stone staircase leads to the first floor which hosts a third bedroom with private bathroom. From here, access to two large panoramic terraces offers a view that extends to infinity over the surrounding countryside. Externally the property has a shaded veranda with an outdoor kitchen and a lounge area with sofas, the perfect setting for long summer lunches or dinners under the starry sky of Puglia. The ancient courtyard, which preserves its original stone pavers bearing stories of the past, extends toward the 40 m² infinity pool. The property sits on an immense private park of about 25,000 square meters, where centuries-old olive trees, oaks, almond trees, and fig trees alternate. Equipped with heating and air conditioning to ensure a comfortable stay in every season, Masseria Pietra Bianca represents a private dwelling with magnetic and timeless charm. A property ready to live in or to include in tourist rental circuits, already complete with a rear technical room and an approved project for the realization of a convenient garage.
