Phoutinia in Mani

215,000€ buys a self-contained plot of land with two houses on a rough and steep Greek mountainside in eastern Mani overlooking the bay of Kotronas. The land measures around 0.2 hectares/ 2 stremata and sustains 24 old established olive trees on the rocky terrain, supplying the home with good organic olive oil.
Here is a natural enclave: a paradise for bird watchers, carpets of wild flowers - outside the dry summer months, of course - plus visits by buzzards, wild boar, the occasional snake or even a jackal.
The main house incorporates a traditional Mani tower, attached to a large main living room, a big kitchen, shower room, 2 big balconies with stunning views, plus, some yards away, another separate 2-storey building with a spacious single room on each level and a small balcony. This second building requires a cosmetic finish to the interior; it is used currently for storage / hobby.
A large, roofed workshop provides an area for woodworking, tools, machinery, hobbies, with electricity on hand and a big workbench.
A huge water cistern collects and stores rainwater to supply the property with free water, although water for drinking is captured separately from the roof of the tower into a closed tank. Mains water to the village has now been brought to the village and is connected to the main house, so the huge water cistern might be converted into a swimming pool!
The road and car parking is about 100 metres away. Access to both houses is by foot only along footpaths. If road access is required, the new owner has that choice to get one cut if it is wanted.
The whole estate is in a spectacular superior position overlooking the sea at the very edge of the village with no immediate close neighbours. The views over the sea and of the mountain are breath-taking. This location is one of exclusivity, peace and privacy; the very characteristics sought by millionaires. It is a haven in 21st century europe and, although mobile phone reception and internet have good reception generally, the traditional domestic style of this homestead provides a real and natural living experience, amongst nature which has not been tidied up and manicured.
The present owner has lived here for 27 years in the manner of the local villagers, in this peaceful setting, close to nature, waking up to birdsong with the spectacular dawn. This is a traditional house, restored from bare ruin (see 2 photos) partly by the owner, not manicured to be pretty, set in the most magnificent location.
