In the territory of Salve and precisely in Ruggiano, Salento Agency sells an ancient building with adjoining agricultural land of exclusive property.

The property is located on the outskirts of the village, a few steps from all the basic services (supermarket, pharmacy, oven, bar, etc.
A beautiful dry stone wall hides a real jewel of the Salento culture.

Entering the type of entrance portal, a driveway delimited by ancient stones, leads to the two upper valleys, the first originally had the roof with the typical barrel vault, today collapsed. Next to it there is a second room which also has a barrel vaulted covered and in good structural condition. From the latter room, an external staircase allows you to reach the garden underneath.

The garden covers around 1,20 square meters to which a further 445 square meters of a second particle of detached land of only 30 meters is added and which can be used as an outdoor parking.

The real surprise of this structure, is on the floor below.
In fact, on the floor below there is an ancient oil mill (trappitu in Salento dialect), completely excavated in the tufa stone, characteristic of this territory.

On the floor below, regularly ventilated and bright, there is a typical room with a barrel vault and exposed stone and finally the jewel, an ancient trappitua (laundry) completely carved into the tuff, a tender and malleable stone. Entering these rooms you will take a real plunge into the past, in the history of this magnificent land.
The floor below is regularly lit and ventilated.
