Description
The property is in the old village of Kato Verga on the slopes of the Taygetos mountains, 10 kms from the city of Kalamata and overlooking the Bay of Messini. It consists of 2 traditional stone buildings and one newer house built in 1997. The upper and lower levels of each house have both internal stairs and external stone steps and all houses are connected by stone steps. There are several terraces and shady sitting areas as well as balconies/patios.
Main traditional stone house
Upstairs there is a large kitchen/sitting-room with a balcony looking out to sea.
Downstairs there is a bedroom, a bathroom and a storage 'cubbyhole'.
There is a tiled patio to one side leading to 4 terraces with a variety of trees and shrubs and places to sit. To the other side is a large paved area and a semi-slated terrace with a mulberry tree and other plants. All terraces have views of the sea and the mountain.
Smaller traditional stone house
Upstairs there is a sitting-room with a paved balcony to one side (with a view of the Messinian bay).
Downstairs there is a bedroom, a basic kitchen and a bathroom. There is a small paved area to one side.
On the bottom terrace between the two old houses there is a separate workshop with a basin and external shower. There is also a large old concrete water tank converted to a shed/storage space.

The property is individual and can be adapted depending on one's needs. We used the old houses as a holiday home for many years and then as a permanent residence for a few years. Latterly the main stone house and the newer house have been rented out and the smaller stone house kept for our own use.
