A medieval estate featuring a fortified farmhouse, extensive vineyards, and expansive sea views has been listed for sale in Southern Italy’s Puglia region for the first time in generations. The historic property, located in the town of Torre Guaceto, centers on a 12th-century farmhouse with a defensive tower, a private chapel topped with a bell gable, and a distinctive arched entrance—elements that reflect its former strategic role in the area.

Set on approximately 50 hectares of land, the estate includes woodlands, landscaped gardens, centuries-old olive groves, orchards, and vineyards. The main villa, described as a masseria—a term used for traditional country homes in the region—offers nearly 2,232 square meters of interior space across multiple buildings. This comprises the main white-stone residence, a separate guest house, and a number of outbuildings, collectively providing 14 bedrooms.

Inside, the main residence is notable for its grand reception rooms with cathedral ceilings, a stone inner courtyard, and panoramic views from the rooftop tower. From this vantage point, the Adriatic Sea can be seen on one side, while scenic rural villages are visible on the other. The estate’s grounds include approximately six hectares of manicured gardens and an additional ten hectares of surrounding woodland.

Potential buyers have the option to acquire an adjoining parcel of 50 hectares, thereby doubling the property’s overall size. The estate is situated less than 16 kilometers from Brindisi’s historic port town, facilitating convenient access to the Brindisi airport and other transportation links.

The listing is being handled by Ian Heath of Lionard, who highlighted the rarity of a property of this scale and location within the Puglia region. The broker declined to disclose the asking price, and the current owners have not been publicly identified.
