PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Just outside Putignao is this trullo located. The centuries-old trullo has been completely renovated exposing the beautiful stonework and the amazing charm of the trullo.

From the main road is a gated entrance and a 50-meter-long driveway gently sloping to the trullo, which is not visible from the road

The project is ongoing and expected to be completed in October 2024.  A buyer can therefore come in now and decide on the final interior design. The accommodation is a living room with an open plan kitchen and one double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom on either side. At the rear, with a separate entrance door is the third double bedroom and could be made as a self-contained unit, with a kitchenette. The trullo will be connected to mains electricity, 10 kW, and there will be new a water cistern to be filled with fresh water delivery by lorry, which is normal for houses outside of the towns. heating and cooling will be by fan coil, which is a device consisting of a heat exchanger and a fan. Also installation of a ventilation system ( to recycle the air). Mains gas is being built out from the town so possible to hook up, if needed, for example for a gas cooker.

The trullo is positioned in the middle of a mature garden; there are high trees, many green plants, two very old olive trees and a wealth of fruit trees and bushes, of about 6,000 sqm. To this is an open grass field of about 7,000 sqm, well suited to plant vines or additional fruit trees. The land is fertile and gently sloping to the east. Here, a connection can be made for rural mains water, so full irrigation is possible.

The swimming pool will measure 10 m x 4 m and situated on the western side, so it will enjoy morning and afternoon sun.

It's a short drive to town and to the city centre 2 km. Putignano municipality has 26,000 inhabitants and the town offers all amenities.  Putignano is well-known for its seven carnivals and they are the best known in southern Italy and the oldest in Europe, dating back to 1394! They are held from December to January.

GETTING THERE:

By air there is a choice of two international airports, served by Ryanair, Easyjet , BA and others, both easily reached;  Bari in the North by car on the motorway in about 40-45 minutes, and from Brindisi in the south a little more than one hour.

WHAT TO SEE IN THE AREA

It's a 15 minutes drive to the amazing mile-long caves of Castellana Grotte. To the Adriatic sea is about 25 minutes and places to visit are Polignano A mare, the old town of Monopoli also by the sea, san Vito with its seaside restaurants and naturally all the beaches in the area

MORE TO SEE IN APULIA:

Bari  ( 35 minutes away) being the commercial capital city with 250 000 inhabitants' offers the best shopping, a grand opera house called the Petruzzelli teatro; a large medical city centre with many museums. Just north of Bari lies a little town called Giovinazzo, a true gem, right by the sea. Further north is Molfetta Outlet, a famous shopping galleria and 20 minutes further is Traini, a sophisticated town with a beautiful half-moon bay & marina. Continue north to Castel del Monte, the mystical castle Frederic II built in the 13th Century.

Within a 2,5 hour drive to the North of Bari lies Gargano, the peninsula called the spur of the Italian boot. Gargano forms a large nature and wildlife Reserve and offers hiking and scenic trips around the peninsula. From here there are daily boat trips to the small Tremiti islands.

LIFESTYLE AND CULTURE:

The Italian lifestyle means many things, especially socializing; the home is used for sleeping and breakfast, and the Italians go out for enjoyment and dining. There is so much you can experience, like early morning markets in the small towns, music festivals, religious carnivals, the beach life, historical tours in the main towns, cooking classes, learning a bit of Italian at language schools in Lecce, dining at the many country and sea side restaurants, night clubbing at the beach clubs of Capitolo.

SPORTS:

As Apulia is a peninsula and surrounded by the two seas- the Adriatic in the north and the Ionic in the south - water sports dominate in the area; sailing, yachting, water skiing, kite-surfing swimming & beach life. Golf is available with five good courses and San Domenico is world class (PGA 2014 Challenge Final). Tennis, horseback riding, hiking and bicycle tours are other options for the active-minded. Squash clubs are located in Bari, Bitonto and other places.

THE WEATHER:

Being south, Apulia has warmer weather than Northern Italy. Even in the "winter months" of December to February the average number of sun hours per day is 4 and in June-August 10-11 sun hours per day! This means you can enjoy a long season of nice weather in Apulia. When you plan to buy a holiday home in Apulia, think you will spend a lot more time outside than in the inside compared to at home. Therefore, you will need plenty of terrace space, pergolas, etc., at your Apulian property, and cooking facilities outside are very practical.

The water temperature in the beginning of May is in average 19 degrees, up to 27 degrees in August/September and 19 degrees in November. This means you & family will spend time at the beach. Wherever you are in Apulia you can reach the beaches within 30 minutes!

WHY BUY IN APULIA?

Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Florence, Venice and at the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in the infrastructure, such as the improved motorways, enlarged airports and the introduction of low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia and low means value for money at bargain prices for international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia and in our opinion investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand, also from north Italians as Apulia has become the most popular holiday destination for Italians. But rest assure, no tourist villages will ever be built because in Apulia the coastline is protected and people are against modern developments which do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties, prices are bound to rise.

WHY BUY FROM CASAPUGLIA?

Firstly we are an English-speaking agency based in the middle of Apulia with local experience and can guide you to get the right property at the right price for you.

Secondly, we have personally inspected every property that we recommend to buy and do not list hundreds of properties but a smaller selection of properties which we believe offer good value to the buyer. In Apulia many properties are offered at unrealistic prices but we say no to sellers who want us to list properties for sale at silly prices.

We have many years of international property experience, including 10 years in London, and see investments in Apulia through an international perspective. We have been active in several EU property markets and specialize in property management to ensure well-maintained properties for growth in property value.

We have a comprehensive range of local services:

- acting for the buyer - and not for the seller - by searching the market for the right property, negotiating the price and advise on the buying process, leading to the completion of the purchase

- property management: we look after your property when you are away and ensure it is in perfect condition when you arrive. We will prepare a maintenance plan for annual maintenance and repairs of your property, which is essential to maintain and increase the property's value

- project management; we can be your local representative and manage any renovation or refurbishment. We will also advise on any value-added measures that could further enhance your property's capital growth.

- lettings- we can assist you in the letting of your property and check in your tenants, deposit taking, checking out & inventory control.
