Located just 5 km from the western ring road of Lecce, in the municipality of Arnesano, this exclusive property offered by Grimaldi Real Estate in Nardò represents a piece of Italy's agricultural-industrial history. The ancient factory, dating back to the early 1900s, was once used for the processing and storage of tobacco from extensive plantations. A true landmark in the outskirts of Arnesano, this impressive building boasts over 1750 sqm of internal floor area spread across three levels. This disused architectural heritage has been recently repurposed by a major textile company in Salento. Today, this fantastic example of agrarian-industrial archaeology is ripe for various approaches to reuse and conversion, similar to other structures in the region such as Masseria Diso and the former tobacco factory in Taurisano. The building, positioned in a strategic area on a 2,110 sqm plot of land, features unique spaces dedicated to different stages of production. Special mention goes to some of the most characteristic areas of the property, including a basement that was originally designed as a bunker and anti-aircraft shelter during wartime. The imposing central staircase leads to the rooftop terrace, while the second floor houses a director's office, a dining room, a spacious showroom, and a 240 sqm outdoor area. A second internal building on the premises also includes a well-maintained, antique 80 sqm dwelling. Boasting a strategic location just under 6 km from Lecce's ring road, approximately 19 km from the sea in Porto Cesareo, and only 53 km from Brindisi airport, this property is truly versatile for any use.
