The big fully fenced plot offers extensive terraces for sunbathing, shady hidden spots, and gardens to stroll in. Bounded on two sides by perpendicular gorges, it is totally landscaped and very well maintained by the current owners. Remote control gated entry with ample parking space on a spacious gravelled area allow easy access and turning on the plot.
In addition to the garage, there are 3 exterior storage rooms: one storing 2000 litres of domestic water with a pressure pump and the boiler/heating oil storage for the central heating.

The third room is humidity regulated for the storage of linen/towels/sheets etc.
Electrical power is provided by a pergola mounted 24 photovoltaic panel array, which generates the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption.
The large 12 x 5 m swimming pool set in extensive Mediterranean gardens offers privacy and views of the mountains. It overlooks the Athimolakos gorge with wrought iron railings all around for security of children. There is a covered area at the edge of the pool overlooking the gorge.
