Apartment via Caracciolo, Centro, Ruffano

REDUCED PRICE: GREAT INVESTMENT!
The apartment for sale, with a surface area of approximately 475 sqm plus 95 sqm of level terraces, is independent and constitutes the most valuable portion of a historic baronial palace located in the heart of Salento, with the first nucleus built in 1700. Spread over two floors, it has been renovated while externally preserving the fascinating patina of time, with enormous development potential, both in terms of income generation and long-term value appreciation. Only some finishing touches are missing. It is adorned with majestic barrel, rib, and star vaults, but above all with precious mosaic floors from the Peluso brothers, whose works are famous and present throughout Italy, such as in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The property is located in the center of Torrepaduli, an ancient hamlet of Ruffano, a few kilometers from Otranto, Santa Maria Di Leuca, Castro, and Lecce.
On the ground floor, exclusive access is through a majestic original wooden portal, leading to a large star-vaulted space, which can be used as a garage or as part of the residence. On the side, there is a wonderful staircase leading to the residential portion, with spacious rooms featuring vaults, high arches, and ancient stone flooring. The first floor is characterized by unique vaults and different, finely crafted mosaic and terrazzo floors. The palace can be renovated according to your preferences; currently, there are 11 rooms plus accessories on the first floor, with the possibility of annexing more. There is also a private chapel with a votive altar containing the statue dedicated to Saint Philomena and a marvelous vault with a circular opening, covered with precious crystal. Two of the imposing rooms have large stone fireplaces. Both floors have terraces and level patios overlooking the fully enclosed garden, offering relaxation and historic charm in a secluded setting. From the palace's numerous large windows, you can enjoy unique views of the surrounding picturesque scenery. The palace is a unique property, with a significant yet sober and elegant footprint, located in a central yet private position.
