PUGLIA – ANDRIA – CARAFA DISTRICT


SQUADRILLI FARMHOUSE
Investment Opportunity / Accommodation & Charming Residence


In the heart of the charming Contrada Carafa, in a location of extraordinary landscape, historical, and rural value, we offer for sale Masseria Squadrilli. This prestigious property, immersed in the pristine tranquility of the Apulian countryside, is ideal both as a refined private residence and as the venue for an exclusive, charming hospitality project.


THE TERRITORY AND THE STRATEGIC LOCATION


Situated in a prime location rich in cultural connections, the masseria is just 12 km from Castel del Monte, the famous 13th-century castle built by Frederick II and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The property is also approximately 3 km from the Antiquarium of the San Leucio Archaeological Park in Canosa di Puglia (an exhibition space dedicated to the extraordinary archaeological site of the same name) and just 20 minutes from the beaches and sea of Barletta. From the property, you can also walk to a picturesque stretch of Monte Carafa, a place of great natural beauty perfect for hikes and rejuvenating walks.


HISTORICAL ROOTS AND NOBLE ORIGINS


Originally built before 1800 by the famous Carafa family of Chiusano as the administrative center of the ancient agricultural estates of Monte Carafa, the property subsequently passed to the illustrious Squadrilli family in 1871, who gave it the name it proudly retains today. Over the centuries, the structure has retained its original layout and the unmistakable charm of the great historic Apulian farmhouses, preserving all the most important spaces and period details.


THE MAIN HOUSE (CHARMING RESIDENCE)


The main house extends over a surface area of approximately 114 m2 spread over two levels, featuring three independent entrances that maximise its versatility:


• On the ground floor: Guests are welcomed by an elegant living room embellished with a fireplace, a stable kitchen (also equipped with a fireplace), a bedroom, a small bedroom and a service bathroom.
• On the first floor: A second living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom open to a splendid panoramic terrace with a stone table and chairs. From here, you can access the roof terrace, which offers breathtaking views of the countryside and unforgettable Apulian sunsets.


PERIOD ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, MEASURES AND THE EXTERNAL PARK


The Entrance Driveway and the Chianche Floors: The imposing main driveway welcomes visitors with priceless paving made of historic chianche stone. These same period chianche floors, along with evocative tuff barrel vaults, enhance a characteristic historic room of the farmhouse, ideal as a tasting room. The Ancient Farm Workers’ Dormitory: A unique, evocative historic warehouse featuring a wooden roof, impressive exposed beams, and an impressive period fireplace. This space, rich in history and rural charm and entirely paved in chianche, can easily be converted into a magnificent independent suite or an exclusive guesthouse. The Great Historic Granary: An imposing interior space with high ceilings and original chianche flooring, perfect for conversion into a reception hall or an elite rural restaurant. The Ancient Farmyard and the 7,000 sq m of Land: The large, unpaved farmyard is surrounded by approximately 7,000 sq m of private land, embellished with a lush orchard and citrus grove, preserving the property’s deep-rooted original agricultural vocation. The Historic Pescara (Potential Exclusive Cellar): An absolutely unique element, this historic natural cavity, approximately 10 meters deep, is located in the courtyard. Thanks to its exceptional microclimatic and structural characteristics, it lends itself to a prestigious renovation project and transformation into an exclusive underground cellar, perfect for storing the area’s great wines.

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL


Masseria Squadrilli is a rare gem in the Apulian real estate landscape. Its strategic proximity to Castel del Monte, the original materials (historic chianche, tuff, wooden beams), the majestic fireplace in the former dormitory, the evocative 10-meter-deep “Pescara” (water feature), the expansive 7,000 square meter plot, and the 114 square meter main house make it a perfect investment for a boutique resort or a private residence of unparalleled prestige.
