CHARMING WINE ESTATE, WESTERN PELOPONNESE
This charming country estate is a haven of tranquility in the beautiful western Peloponnese, close to Ancient Olympia and only a short walk from the nearest beaches. Located along the famous “wine road” from Pyrgos to Katakolo, its land of 116,000 m2 (over 28 acres) is lush with grapevines used to produce wine of excellent quality. The traditional farmhouse of 235 m2 is set on a hilltop with lovely views and was completely and elegantly renovated in 2004 to be the home of a former Greek prime minister. Offered stylishly furnished, it features a large living and dining room with a fireplace and many windows to take advantage of the idyllic natural surroundings, a fully equipped kitchen, a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and two guest bedrooms each with private bathroom. An independent building nearby contains a staff bedroom with bathroom, as well as storage and auxiliary rooms. A mature and well-maintained garden surrounds the residence, while broad terraces which enjoy open views to the Ionian Sea and the sunset are the ideal setting for al-fresco dining both day and evening. The picturesque harbor town of Katakolo with its marina accommodating yachts of all sizes is only three kilometers away. This area is renowned for its long white beaches and the pristine quality of its sea waters. Truly a peaceful hideaway, this relaxing retreat is ideal for enjoyment throughout the year and is easily accessible by road from the international airport at Kalamata or from Athens.
