Oria, Apulia 72024

Set just 2 km from Oria's medieval historic centre, this gated countryside estate delivers privacy without feeling remote. Fully fenced and accessed via an electric gate, the property extends over roughly five hectares of gently undulating land with fruit trees and around 300 young olive trees, plus a charming outlook towards Oria's skyline. The estate comprises a main villa arranged over two independent above-ground levels, alongside a separate annexe. Finished in 2025, the villa stands out for its authentic exposed star vaults, celebrating local stone craftsmanship and giving the interiors a warm, distinctive character. On the ground floor, an entrance leads to a cosy sitting room with fireplace and a generous kitchen-dining space with a second fireplace and wide glazing to the terraces. The Arrital kitchen is designed for real living: a central island with five-burner hob and sink, and a fully equipped wall with double fridge, oven, microwave, wine fridge and dishwasher. A particularly appealing touch is the concealed pantry-hidden behind a perfectly integrated pocket-style door-so the kitchen stays visually clean and elegant even when in full use. From the kitchen you step onto broad terraces overlooking the garden and the 105 pool; one terrace features an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, ideal for effortless entertaining. A spacious corridor with barrel vaulting separates living and sleeping areas, with a guest bathroom, laundry/ironing room and access to the basement. The ground-floor sleeping wing offers two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and dressing rooms, plus a third room currently used as a study, easily adaptable as an additional bedroom with bathroom. Upstairs is reached via an external staircase to a large terrace partly shaded by a timber structure. This level is also well suited to hospitality: three bedrooms, all en-suite, and a shared lounge with a Stosa kitchen and bar, another fireplace and wide countryside views-ideal as a breakfast and social space for a boutique B&B concept. A sizeable basement level serves as garage and technical rooms, internally connected to the ground floor. The independent annexe includes two bedrooms, a living kitchen area and a bathroom-perfect for caretaker/staff accommodation. Overall, the property totals approx. 387 sq m (398 gross) across villa and annexe, with 7 bathrooms. Comfort features include underfloor heating/cooling, additional fan-coil system (Airleaf Innova) powered by a Bosch heat pump, solar thermal hot water (300-litre tank), Bosch 35 kW LPG boiler with 1,000-litre LPG tank, Schüco aluminium frames with electric shutters, artesian well and irrigation system.
