This historic 19th-century stone estate, surrounded by an ancient olive grove and offering exceptional potential as a private off-grid eco-retreat, includes an old house built around the mid-19th century on 1, 725 m² of land, as well as an additional plot of 373 m² located directly opposite the house. The property has 35 olive trees in total, many of which are 100-200 years old. The property is located on the fringe of a tiny village cut off from the rest of the houses and it is accessed by a 150 m of dirt road. Within 10 km there is the village of Voukolies which has several amenities, banks and mini markets.

The house is arranged over two floors. The ground floor is accessed by a staircase that leads to a north-east facing terrace of 30 m². From there we enter an open-plan space of about 44 m² with a tiled roof, part of which has collapsed. The lower floor consists of three spacious rooms and an old bathroom which is detached from the main house. The ground floor has some old furniture and one of the rooms in the basement has an old wood-fired oven made of firebricks.

The way that the stones are built is masterful and the home, although it has undergone some minor interventions, is a fine example of the architecture of its era. The location is spectacular and from the plot you can constantly listen to the water from a stream that meanders about 100 m from the house. The lush and remote surroundings, the huge and aged trees and the smells and sounds of nature add great value to this beautiful property.
