MAIN LIVING SPACE: Is open plan and airy. There are spectacular views from every window. There is plenty of space for a sitting area and dining. To one corner there is a wood burning fireplace and next to it a solid fuel Aga which can be used for cooking or heating.
KITCHEN: Is bound by a breakfast bar. There is a gas hob for cooking under a traditional hood for ventilation. There are ample base cabinets to store everything away and a double stainless steel sink. The larder fridge/freezer is also powered by gas. In addition to the hob, on the other side of the room, there is a solid fuel-burning Aga with an oven and two hot plates.
There are two bedrooms to the west-facing side of the house. This means that you don't get woken too early by the rising sun. Please note all windows have opening fly screens as well as external shutters.
Summary Points
MASTER BEDROOM: Has a large double bed and a very commodious wardrobe with ample hanging and drawer space. One window overlooks the west side and the other overlooks the terrace and views to the sea.
SECOND BEDROOM: Is smaller but large enough for a standard double bed and still be roomy enough for a wardrobe. Alternatively, a set of bunk beds would work very well in this room especially as the ceiling is open to the rafters. The window in this room overlooks the west side of the property.
SHOWER ROOM: Is simply but adequately fitted with a toilet, hand basin with a mirrored wall cabinet and is effectively a wet room with the showerhead to one corner.
Features
STORAGE ROOM & CISTERNAS: The slope of the land has been used during construction and so there is approximately 18 m2 of usable storage space below the house, which is entered from the outside at the west-facing side of the building. The stone back wall of the storage area is the wall of the first cisterna. The wellheads for both cisternas are on the terrace. The storage room provides ample space for all the tools and outdoor living equipment that is needed. There is a sink with a tap to one side and some fitted shelves to the front wall.
OUTDOOR LIVING: With a 12 m2 sea-facing terrace, much of your time will be spent gazing at the sea and stars (light pollution is minimal and looking at the constellations is quite awe-inspiring). The terrace is also a wonderful place for sunbathing and of course dining alfresco. And in the evening the orientation of the house is perfect for watching the spectacular sunsets.
Neighbourhood
Utilities & Technical
The property also has a freshwater cisterna to collect rainwater. The cisterna is in good order and has a pump so the water can be used in the house. It's also connected to the main town supply to be topped up as necessary.
Observations
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: The house is eco-friendly and self-sufficient with its own petrol operated generator, traditionally built Vothros and two freshwater cisternas. There is an electric pump to circulate water to the house from the cisternas. There are a number of level terraced areas outside which can be used to grow your own fruit and vegetables. Currently, the terraces are planted with wheat and grains to feed the horses. The generator room is in a fenced-off area where we also have a number of olive and sweet almond trees. This property is almost off the grid in terms of being independent of the town supplies for utilities. And of course, there is plenty of scope to make the property even more environmentally independent should you wish.
BOAT JETTY: From the boundary gate there is a rugged path that winds between the rocks and down rough steps (the easiest route is marked) to the sea and our private boat jetty. You could make your way over the rocks along the coastline to the beach but the safest route is from the house.
CLOSEST BEACH: Without doubt, the closest beach (150m from the lower boundary) is a glorious, idyllic dream of a beach that anyone could wish for on their doorstep. It can't fail to delight anyone looking for their deserted, private spot in the sun. The beach is partially sandy and shelves gently for about 6 meters until a ridge of mostly submerged rocks.
