Greece

The village Mikri Volvi lies beside Lake Volvi in Central Macedonia, roughly an hour's drive east of Thessaloniki. The cottage sits on a 1,809 sqm plot at the edge of the village, a single-storey home renovated throughout in 2026 and looking out towards the water.

The interior holds a bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, a living space and a smaller bedroom that can be also used as an office or additional living space. The kitchen comes fitted with a fridge, stove, washing machine, and small appliances, and the bedroom includes a bed and wardrobe. New double glazing, shutters, and mosquito nets were part of the recent renovation. Two storage rooms in the basement add practical space, matching the footprint of the bedrooms above.

Comfort runs across the seasons: two energy-efficient wood-burning inserts warm the cottage in cooler months, two air-conditioning units handle the summer heat, and a smart system provides hot water around the clock.

The plot is planted with fruit trees and olive trees, giving the garden a working, productive feel. There is parking for two cars and provision for electric car charger. Security cameras provide an additional peace of mind. The plot is fully fenced, giving buyers a clear boundary from day one. The new owner is free to install a gate of their choice at the entrance of the plot.

The property is fully legalised. Water comes from the public network, while wastewater runs to a private tank rather than mains drainage, which is common for village homes in the area.

The setting suits a buyer looking for a calm second home away from the crowds. Days can be spent tending the orchard, walking and phishing by the lake, or driving the 13 km to Stavros on the coast for a swim and a meal by the sea. Lake Volvi is a protected wetland known for its birdlife and unhurried surroundings, and the village keeps a permanent local population year-round.

Rental potential
The coast nearby draws a steady flow of holiday visitors through the warmer months. Stavros, Nea Vrasna, and Asprovalta are established summer resorts along the Strymonian Gulf, with a season running from late spring into autumn. That makes the cottage suitable for buyers wanting a private lakeside base, close to the seaside, with the option of rental income when not in personal use.
