Real Estate Description
Gorgeous ruin to rebuild standing at the top of a grove of olive trees. Located almost in the centre of the larger part of Poros Island in the area known as Ag Nektarios. The building that is currently there is uninhabitable and most of it would have to be taken down. But about 50% of the stone could be recycled. Once completed, this property could be an idyllic Greek Island getaway home especially if a freshwater cisterna was dug to supply a swimming pool!
Summary Points
1 rundown house to rebuild, currently laid out as
2 floors
2 rooms on top floor
2 rooms on ground floor
2800 m2 field planted with 40 productive olive trees
Assortment of animal pens (mainly poultry) but in bad repair so many chickens are feral and roost in the olive trees!
The road widens to a parking area just behind the house and the neighbouring chapel which means building material can easily be brought all the way.
Features
Large quantity of building material that can be recycled.
Most of the oldest 1up/1down building could be saved.
Plenty of space to repurpose rubble as terracing rather than have it removed.
Stunning wide open views.
Close to a road for access.
Pretty chapel next door that is only active once a year on its name day.
Good chain fence to all boundaries.
40 olive trees
Peace and quiet.
Fertile ground for growing food.
Neighbourhood
The area of Ag. Nektarios is full of similar small holdings. Most grow olives, some feed for animals and all have poultry (chickens and geese mainly).
In the field immediately next door, there is a very friendly little donkey.
The chapel on the other side of the road from the house, is active but doesn't hold regular services although it will have visitors once a year on its name day.
Utilities & Technical
There is mains electricity and water supplied to the house.
Observations
I am seriously tempted not to try too hard to sell this property because it's my own idyllic dream house. But the timing isn't right for me, so I will happily show the property to anyone who is looking for a small place to write, make music, grow their own food or just enjoy the simple things in life that today's modern pace of life no longer seems to allow for.
