Masseria, Cisternino

We are offering Masseria Sisto for sale, a charming complex of trulli and lamie situated in the heart of the Itria Valley, in Contrada Sisto, in the municipality of Cisternino. The property enjoys a particularly strategic location: nestled in the tranquillity of the Apulian countryside and surrounded by olive groves, it is situated approximately 6 km from Cisternino, 5 km from Locorotondo and Martina Franca, just over 20 minutes from Ostuni and around 19 km from the beaches of Torre Canne. A setting that combines privacy, authenticity and easy access to the main amenities and the most renowned locations in the area.

The property retains the typical features of Apulian rural architecture. The complex consists of a main building in lamia stone, recognisable for its simple lines, arched openings and panoramic terrace bordered by a balustrade, flanked by a group of trulli with traditional conical dry-stone roofs. The lime-washed walls and dry-stone walls bordering the plot bear witness to the property’s historical and landscape value. The complex is currently in need of restoration and is offered with a fully developed renovation plan, designed to enhance the original features and transform the property into a contemporary residence perfectly integrated into its surroundings.

The complex has a gross floor area of approximately 348 square metres on the ground floor, as well as a usable terrace of approximately 58 square metres. The property extends over a plot of 12,211 square metres, mainly comprising olive groves and green spaces, ensuring ample open spaces and a high level of privacy. The project involves the construction of a single-storey residence, with a main building of approximately 198 square metres housing the living and sleeping areas, as well as two independent units created within the trulli, measuring approximately 25 square metres and 27.5 square metres respectively, ideal as guest suites, a guesthouse or a study. The outdoor spaces are designed to allow the property to be enjoyed to the full throughout the year and include approximately 90 square metres of paved patios, an outdoor kitchen under a pergola, shaded areas, a panoramic terrace and a 40-square-metre heated swimming pool set amongst the olive trees. The property is completed by an open-air parking area, a utility room for services, and separate pedestrian and vehicle entrances.

The design highlights materials and finishes typical of the region, featuring lime plaster, exposed stone in the vaults and trulli, natural wood details, and flooring that flows seamlessly between indoors and outdoors. The single-level layout ensures practicality and living comfort. The building services will be finalised during the construction phase and will enable high standards of energy efficiency and living comfort to be achieved, with the option to integrate underfloor heating, a heated swimming pool and modern technologies designed for comfortable use in every season. The existence of a fully developed design also represents significant added value, allowing for clear planning of the project and greater predictability regarding construction times and costs.

Masseria Sisto is the ideal solution for those wishing to create a private residence surrounded by nature without sacrificing proximity to the main towns of the Itria Valley. It is perfect as a main residence for those seeking spacious surroundings and tranquillity, but also as a second home for spending extended periods in one of Puglia’s most sought-after areas. Thanks to the independent units, the spacious outdoor areas and the strategic location between the sea and historic villages, the property is also well-suited for high-quality tourist accommodation. An opportunity to enhance an authentic complex and create a home that combines tradition, comfort and a contemporary lifestyle.
