About this property
Located on a private 2,305 m² plot in the village of Kounavoi, this authentic stone villa comprises three traditional structures built with local materials. The main house of approximately 80 m² features wooden ceilings, an open-plan living area with kitchen and dining space, two bedrooms, and a spacious bathroom with shower and bathtub.
A renovated 22 m² guesthouse offers a cosy living area, bathroom, and a wooden mezzanine, while an additional 30 m² stone outbuilding currently used for storage presents clear potential for conversion into further accommodation or workspace.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped with a rich selection of fruit trees, flowering plants, and grapevines, creating a tranquil, self-sustaining environment.
