Single-family detached house Agia Sophia, Dytike Mane 24022, Kardamili, Lefktros

A very short drive above the village of Kardamili, or a short hike on the donkey trail, is a beautiful traditional village of Agia Sofia, famous for its Byzantine church and the stunning views from here. In Agia Sofia there is one of the most beautiful Byzantine churches in the area, the village is surrounded by the imposing mountains of Taygetos, with stunning views of the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and the wild landscape of the gorges that stretch on either side. Located at an altitude of 250 metres above sea level, the views of the coast and the two gorges on either side of the village make it a favourite place for hikers who come to the area. A few meters before you reach the main village, the property is located on its own south facing hillside and just 1,500 meters from the beautiful Mani coast. Access is via a newly constructed concrete road, which is about 50 meters from the main road, which complements the privacy of the property. Within the 14,500 square meters there are 250 olive trees, at least 50 different fruit trees and many different types of shrubs, herbs, flowers with terraces surrounding and embracing an 80 square meter house that exists on the plot with wooden window frames and all the windows and doors are dooble glazed. This detached house includes: - terrace, - kitchen, - living room, - two bathrooms, - one bedroom. The plot is 14,500 square meters and has received full permission to allow the construction of 350 sqm of living space, of which only 80 sqm have been used to date. There is the possibility of building a 270 square meter house on an already preformed foundation in the excellent location of the plot with spectacular and unobstructed views. A 270 square metre house is usually intended for family accommodation or for tourist use and includes 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms and a large living room. The front of the new house will face the gorge and directly towards the sea and Kardamili providing from the balcony of the new house a magical view of the deep blue waters of West Mani. A key design factor of this project is environmental sustainability which still makes the property (off grid) and powered autonomously by a solar and battery management system. It also has septic tanks as well as the concrete foundation for the 270 sqm house have already been completed. The stone for the wall of the house is already stored on the property waiting to be used. Also, there is the building permit with the architectural plan for the house. The water backup storage and distribution network provide a secure supply of water throughout the year for the house and garden. The electricity grid is located a short distance from the property if it is the preferred source of energy for the new owners. Gas water heating and a backup generator are among the other utilities currently provided. This property is a real opportunity for either vacation home use or investment/tourism use.
