In the heart of the Salento highlands, in Ruffano, stands a newly built home constructed entirely of authentic Lecce stone. The property, surrounded by a garden of approximately 600 sqm, enjoys a double exposure: on one side, the lush vegetation of the Salento ridge, and on the other, views toward the historic town center. The architectural design elegantly blends modernity and tradition: the characteristic star vaults and barrel vaults, left in exposed stone, harmonize beautifully with contemporary parquet and grey stoneware floors, creating a refined and visually striking environment. The home is spread over three levels: on the raised ground floor, a spacious entrance veranda, a bright living area with fireplace, a fully furnished eat-in kitchen, hallway, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. On the first floor, an elegant loft with study area, bedroom, additional study, bathroom, and large panoramic terraces. The basement level features an independent apartment with kitchen-living area, three bedrooms each with private bathroom, a large garage, storage room, and technical room equipped with state-of-the-art heating systems. The entire property is equipped with fan coils, two wood-burning thermo-fireplaces, and a modern photovoltaic system that ensures energy efficiency and low consumption. Outside, a well-kept, moderately sized garden surrounds the villa on three sides, offering privacy and pleasant green areas.
