The present owner has lived here for 27 years, in this peaceful setting & with the exclusive privacy normally enjoyed only by millionaires, 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.
Note: the road does not reach the property yet; this is the owner's choice. Living on this wild, Greek mountainside, it's natural, it's rough, but living here is sensational!
