We are pleased to offer this traditional marriage of a 1 cone trullo and lamia building to be developed and create a 2-3 bedroom and 2 bathroom cottage with roof terrace and sitting in over 1 acres of land with olive grove, located in the countryside just 3km from Carovigno and all amenities, 10km from the beautiful Adriatic coast and only 30 minutes from Brindisi airport.

Both the buildings have been well maintained, and the roofs are in good condition, whilst the lamia has a roof terrace with superb views over the surrounding land and countryside. It would be possible to install one bathroom in the trullo and a kitchenette and open bedroom, to about 26m2 of floor space.

The lamia currently has one room of 16m2. The extension possibilities are to add about 15m2 of floor space, plus a storage room/garage and do this by adding space to the lamia to the right. A veranda could be made of 38m2, and also a basement of 19m2. A pool in the ground is possible. Electricity is by the trullo and easy to have connected.

There is one water cistern, or alternatively you can drill for water, and create your own well, perfect if you also would be planning for a pool. There is a separate pizza oven and a small storage room. The original circular wheat crushing area is intact with the original stone floor and could be made up as a major feature with a fireplace in the middle and seating area on stone benches around it.

Externally, the property sits in about 7561m2 (about 1.86 acres) of land with numerous olive trees. The neighbouring buildings are mainly historical trulli built centuries ago. Across the field at a distance is a modern villa. The property is in the countryside, private and peaceful yet not isolated, and other houses are not far away.

The lovely town of Carovigno, just 3 km away, boasts many excellent restaurants from local trattorie to Michelin star restaurant. A beautiful piazza and centro storico (historic centre), complete with a Norman castle, is perfect for an evening passeggiata! The beautiful citt bianca Ostuni is only 8km from the property.

Many beaches are easily reached in just 10 minutes, along with the gorgeous coastal villages of Santa Sabina and Specchiolla, which are full of seafront restaurants and beach clubs. Brindisi airport is an easy drive of just 33 km, about 30 minutes drive. An excellent property ideal for development and expansion.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story. The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived.

The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction. When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme.

Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and I want that House with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4 s A Place in the Sun , where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken. Linda says: I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs. The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home. Casa Travella selling Italian Dream since 1987
