Introducing a rare opportunity to own the only villa in the prestigious Cilento area, a property with a rich history dating back to the late 1960s. This stunning residence served as the primary headquarters for a team of American researchers from Minnesota, led by the renowned Professor Ancel Keys, the founder of the Mediterranean Diet, which has been recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

In the early 2000s, Professor Keys and his wife, both celebrating their centennial milestones, decided to pass on this magnificent villa to new ownership. The current owners have undertaken meticulous maintenance efforts, preserving the original layout in line with Professor Keys' vision for a quintessentially Mediterranean home. Today, this villa stands as a luxurious residence, featuring high-end materials and modern upgrades while maintaining its historic charm.

Nestled on approximately 10,000 square meters of fertile land, this property is adorned with olive trees, fruit trees, citrus trees, and native Mediterranean flora, presenting a beautifully landscaped environment. A private pedestrian and partially vehicular road provides convenient access to the nearby pristine coastline along the Gulf of Elea.
