The property includes a historic building, a landmark of the area in which it is located. It dates from about the middle of the 16th century. Since then it has changed many uses, the most notable of which was the housing of the prisons of the area. At the beginning to the middle of the last century, an olive oil mill was operating on the ground floor, from which the traditional millstones have been preserved. The most recent use was residential on the upper floor of the building, where its last owners lived.

The plot of the property is surrounded by a high stone wall, which encloses a central courtyard with excellent privacy. The main building is located at the back and occupies a total of 335 m² while there are also dilapidated buildings of approximately 140 m² in addition, which can be repaired. The property is oriented towards the sea. Next to it there is an additional plot of 775 m² with 400 m² allowed buildable area, which is available for sale for € 100,000 and ensures that the views will remain as they currently are in the future, if you buy it.
