Building for Sale

The building is located in the beautiful town of Castelluccio Valmaggiore, located in the fabulous Dauni Mountains in the Province of Foggia (Puglia); in the center of the town with medieval origins.
The town dominates the large concave valley in which the Celone flows, which originates from the Aquilone spring (near Monte San Vito) at an altitude of 1,000 m above sea level[4]. As the stream descends into the valley between the Daunia mountains it receives the waters of the Foce, Feudo and Freddo streams and other streams as tributaries, to finally carry its waters into the Candelaro after about 70 km. It borders the municipalities of Biccari, Celle di San Vito, Orsara di Puglia and Troia. Since 1440 Castelluccio was annexed to the barony of Val Maggiore, which also included Celle di San Vito and Faeto. Over the centuries, the barony belonged to various families, among which the Carafa and Caracciolo families stand out, until the beginning of the nineteenth century when, once feudalism was abolished, the municipality regained its autonomy.

Until 1890 the clergy of Castelluccio Valmaggiore had the right to manage the small church of San Vito located in the territory of Faeto along the Camporeale-Foggia sheep track, a transhumance itinerary that retraces the ancient Via Traiana and the medieval Via Francigena. In ancient times, the town had the shape of a triangle isosceles and was closed by a wall made up of fortified houses. At the base of the triangle there were two doors, called del Pozzo (to the west) and del Piscero (to the east). At the top of the triangle, the most vulnerable, the Byzantine castle was built, of which only the tower remains. This is 20 meters high overall and consists of a solid polygonal-shaped foundation and a cylinder 16 meters high and 6.20 meters in diameter. The entire construction was made of local stone bonded with lithoglue, i.e. mortar made with only hydrated lime, without sand.

The church of Castelluccio has a portal with undated heraldic signs.

The building built entirely in stone is located in the center of the town, on three floors above ground. Ground floor with entrance to the caves created in the mountain (very suggestive) on the right at the entrance there is an all-stone staircase that leads to the first floor where we find a large decorated room also completely in stone where we find other rooms with a historic fireplace, bathroom and a another room created from the mountain; always on the first floor we find a further staircase, also in stone, which leads to the second floor where we find the bedrooms, a living room and a further bathroom. The view is magnificent on all sides. The building is full of light and overlooks the Celone river and its natural waterfalls as well as the surrounding woods.

It should be kept in mind that the Dauni Mountains are the subject of redevelopment and funding and fund contributions lost for their valorization and increase in tourism initiatives, such as the GAL Meridaunia or Puglia Sviluppo which you will easily find on the internet for further information.--fe5eeb5707d60648a46bb9687fe66035!
