Residence, 110m², Methana (Argosaronic Islands), 235.000 €

At the very top of the picturesque village of Megalochori, on the Methana peninsula, a traditional stone house dating from 1884 is for sale. It offers 110 sq.m. of living space on a 1,700 sq.m. plot of dry-stone-walled terraced land. Methana is one of the most distinctive corners of the Saronic Gulf. It is known for its volcanic landscape, thermal springs and authentic, unspoilt character, and lies only 175 km from Athens, reachable by road or by ferry via Methana or Poros. The house is detached on all sides, sits on a corner plot and is arranged over two levels. It was restored from ruin in 2021 in a simple, contemporary Greek style, with complete respect for its original stone features, such as the table and icon alcoves. On the ground floor, the living room opens through a stone archway into a generous kitchen-diner. From there you step out onto a large terrace for outdoor dining and cooking. The upper floor holds the three bedrooms and the bathroom. The house is through-ventilated, bright, airy and sun-filled, with a south-facing orientation. Its panoramic, unobstructed views stretch over the Saronic Gulf, Sleeping Lady Mountain and the surrounding greenery. The outdoor spaces are the soul of the property. The courtyards are paved with traditional Karystos stone, and stone steps lead to different areas of the grounds. The old bread oven has been converted into a sunny terrace. The renovated well has a pump for watering the garden and is a table spot with breathtaking views. An outdoor marble wash basin and stone basins, now full of plants, have also been preserved. The garden is laid out in tiers, with fig and almond trees, cacti, flowering shrubs and young lemon and orange trees, while bougainvillea completes its unique charm. Heating is individual electric. The frames are wooden with double glazing, and the floors are industrial cement screed. The property comes with electrical appliances and includes insect screens, a storage room, an inner courtyard and a septic tank. The sea is 1,500 m away, about a 15-minute walk, and there are many unspoilt beaches nearby. Seven fish tavernas operate along the seafront and in Vathy Bay. Close by are the hiking trails to the extinct volcano of Kameni Chora, the hot springs of Methana and Pausanias, and Troizina, birthplace of Theseus, with its waterfall and caves. Hydra is a short drive and a ferry crossing away, while the ancient Theater of Epidaurus is 35 km away and hosts the Athens & Epidaurus Festival every summer. At a time when a holiday home is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury, this property offers something rare. It is an authentic retreat of tranquility, two hours from Athens, and at the same time an asset that holds its value, since restored 19th-century stone houses are a finite stock. As an investment, character-rich traditional houses sit in the premium tier of the short-term rental market. The area's thermal and hiking tourism extends the season beyond summer. The former farmland on the property can also be brought back to life, with potential for agritourism use.
