Description

Nestled within a 416 sq.m plot near the shore in Karavostasi Itylos, this residential complex offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern potential. The centerpiece is a three-storey tower, built in 1850 in the traditional Mani style, featuring a wooden and tiled roof. Constructed entirely from the renowned local grey stone, the external walls are an impressive 90 cm thick.

The recent renovations include sandblasting both the interior and exterior, highlighting the beautiful stonework. The ground floor opens onto a large terrace with stunning views of the Itylos Bay on one side and Limeni on the other. Inside, a vaulted cellar built into the rock and two underground water collection tanks, once essential for survival during pirate raids, add to the historical intrigue.

The internal stairs, both straight and spiral, are made of finely processed stone. The first floor features a fascinating arched construction resembling a military HOB hangar. The second floor's partition wall is crafted from a diagonal frame of thin tree trunks, filled with a whitish mortar embedded with small pebbles, seashells, and fragments of old plates and roof tiles, creating a picturesque and enduring mosaic.

The tower, including its walls, spans 184 sq.m. Beneath the terrace is a 20 sq.m space currently used as storage, which could be transformed into a studio with a WC and small kitchen. This area also has its own courtyard, providing a private space for guests or tenants.

Adjacent to the tower, the newly built consists of two separate 40 sq.m studios, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. There is potential to extend the ground floor studio by converting the covered terrace into a kitchen and the current kitchen into a second room. The terrace can be extended to the front, offering magnificent sea views. Additionally, the garden's front area could be transformed into a swimming pool, flanked by flower beds.

While the newly built block requires some renovation-its external walls need painting and the outer areas require tiling or stone lining-architectural proposals are available. These include lining the balconies and terraces with stone to match the tower or a combination of stone and plaster to blend harmoniously with the existing structure.

This property is a rare gem, waiting for the right person to infuse it with love and creativity, transforming it into a stunning home or investment opportunity in this beautiful part of the Mani Peninsula.
