Charming Liberty-Style Villa with Private Park for Sale in Corato, Puglia – Ideal Investment Opportunity in Southern Italy
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Corato, just minutes from the scenic road leading to the iconic Castel del Monte, this elegant early 20th-century Liberty-style villa offers a rare blend of timeless character, privacy, and development potential. Set within a lush private park of approximately four hectares, the estate is surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, vineyards, fruit orchards, ornamental plants and a pine grove dedicated to outdoor relaxation, creating a serene and secluded retreat in the heart of Puglia.
A tree-lined driveway welcomes you into the estate and leads to the main residence, which unfolds over three spacious levels totaling about 635 sqm of commercial space. The property features two main entrances, both accessible and step-free, opening onto an impressive frescoed reception hall that serves as the villa's refined centerpiece. The raised ground floor houses four bedrooms, some adorned with beautifully preserved ceiling frescoes, along with three bathrooms. To the right of the entrance, the living area reveals a charming dining room with a fireplace, a traditional masonry kitchen and a generous pantry, reflecting the authentic character of the period. From the main hall, two staircases branch off-one leads to a 70 sqm cellar, ideal for conversion into a wine tasting room or spa; the other leads to a private upper-level bedroom with en-suite bath.
A separate entrance grants access to the estate's signature tower room, overlooking the garden. With restoration, it could be transformed into a romantic, self-contained guest suite. At the rear of the villa, an old orangery of about 70 sqm and an additional room in need of renovation open onto a 140 sqm outdoor space. This area is already pre-excavated, offering excellent potential for the installation of a pool or customized outdoor living zone.
The estate also includes technical and utility spaces, plus accessibility ramps in compliance with modern building standards. Rich in original architectural details, yet full of untapped potential, this property is an exceptional canvas for a discerning buyer seeking a prestige residence or hospitality investment in Italy.
