For sale in Ano Gatzea Pelion, an excellent traditional stone mansion of Egyptian architectural design, built at the beginning of the last century, with a total area of ​​238sqm on a plot within the plan, even and buildable, with an area of ​​1507.46sqm. Within the plot there is also a second stone 2-storey building that in the past operated as an olive mill with a base area of ​​approximately 97sqm, which is currently in ruins, but can be restored and made functional again if the new owner wishes so.
The property, which literally has a view of the sea and the surrounding area that “takes your breath away” (!) even from its lowest level, was purchased a few years ago and was completely restored and renovated according to its original design and preserving all the traditional elements that make it so unique. A real gem! At the same time, the entire outdoor area was shaped accordingly, where taking advantage of the terrain, they created a multitude of functional and aesthetic terraces, the swimming pool and the perimeter stone wall with wooden railings.
The property consists of the main house which extends over 2 upper floors with an area of ​​98.70sqm each (98.70 x 2 = 197.40sqm) and is analyzed as follows:
– Upper level where the main entrance of the house is located, the reception hall, the bright living room with its fireplace dominating the center and with its characteristic balcony from where one can enjoy the view, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
– Lower level where we go down via a built-in internal staircase covered with Pelion slabs and we find the hall, where around it there are 2 more bedrooms, the large bathroom of the house with bathtub and shower, a storage-laundry area etc., as well as the spacious dining room with the elegant ergonomic and stylish kitchen. Next to the kitchen there is a second main entrance that leads to the yard and one of the outdoor living areas with the built-in table.
The building is completed by the ground floor of 40.61sqm where it has been formed as a single independent studio with kitchen and bathroom, ideal for hosting friends and access from the garden.
The garden is an important part of the property, since during the summer months it offers a variety of options, such as: it is used either as a place to prepare food in the covered BBQ with the outdoor kitchen, or as a place to play and relax by the pool, but also part of it is used as a garden for fruit and vegetables and many flowers and plants. It also has 11 old and productive olive trees that provide the owner with the oil of the year.. and not only that!
The renovation was done through an engineer – architect, since as we mentioned above the house was completely stripped and recreated from scratch. From the new roof with Pelion slabs, the wooden frames with double glazing, the new floors, the insulation, the structural reinforcement of the stone with mesh and concrete and generally everything.. Of the original materials, only the incredibly beautiful solid interior doors remained after they were naturally sanded and painted. It has heating with an oil boiler, a solar water heater and is available with the appliances and some of the furniture that can be seen in the photos (some pieces of sentimental value will be kept).
The property is an ideal choice for both an exceptional permanent or holiday home, but also as an investment proposal.
It has car access.
Ano Gatzea is a picturesque village of Pelion and the property is just 1500m from the beach with its beautiful taverns and 20′ drive from the city of Volos.
