€480,000

Description

Traditional House for sale in Mani. Upon entering the house, you are welcomed by an impressive stone-built fireplace, which immediately defines the atmosphere of the ground floor and serves as the natural focal point of the space. Passing through a low stone archway, you reach the kitchen, the main bathroom, and the first bedroom. This bedroom enjoys direct access to the stone-paved courtyard, where a small pond-style jacuzzi is located, offering a discreet touch of modern comfort that blends harmoniously with the traditional character of the building. The different levels of the house are connected via an internal wooden staircase. On the first floor, there is a living area with two armchairs that convert into beds, along with a small WC. From this level, you can step out onto a spacious balcony, ideal for morning coffee, outdoor meals, or evening relaxation. On the second floor, you will find the second bedroom, which also features its own WC, providing a greater sense of privacy and independence. All entrances to the house are located within the courtyard, enhancing privacy, protection, and seclusion from the outside environment, while also shielding the interior from strong winds common to the area. This is a residence with a strong identity, where stone architecture, wooden details, and the thoughtful internal layout create an authentic living environment, successfully combining traditional heritage with contemporary comfort. Traditional House for sale in Mani Location Information: The Mani Peninsula is a geographical and cultural region in Greece. The capital cities of the Mani Peninsula are Areopoli and Gytheio. Mani is the central peninsula of the three that extends south from the Peloponnese. The Mani Peninsula is mountainous. Until recently many of the villages were accessible only by sea. Fortunately, there is now a narrow and winding road that makes some more accessible. Another was created decades ago for public buses of Piraeus (Mani Line). Mani is traditionally divided into three regions: Exo Mani, Kato Mani, and Mesa Mani. There is a fourth region named Vardounia, which is sometimes included. In the past Vardounia served as a buffer between the Ottoman-Turkish-controlled Evrotas Plains and Mani. In many caves, including the Alepotrypa Cave, along the Mani coasts, Neolithic remains have been found. Some artifacts from the Mycenaean period have also been found. Around 1200 BC, the area was occupied by the Dorians and became a dependent of Sparta. When Spartan power came to an end in the 3rd century BC, Mani remained self-governing. The Maniots claim descent from the ancient Dorians and Spartans, which they consider to be more “pure-blooded” Greeks. According to Maniots, after the Romans took over Laconia, many Spartan citizens who were loyal to the Spartan laws of Lycurgus (a quasi-legendary lawgiver of Sparta) would go to the Spartan mountains of Mani rather than be in Achean or Roman service. The people of the Mani Peninsula are very superstitious. The Maniots believe in demons, witches, ghosts, and vampires. In 1839, when Henry Herbert, the 3rd Earl of Carnarvon, was touring Mani, he came across a fresh egg on the side of the road and offered it to a Maniot soldier. The soldier declined the offer explaining that if a hag had enchanted it, he would have to marry her.
