Keps are delighted to offer for sale this unique, beautifully restored, traditional, period property located in the heart of the quiet, hilltop, picturesque village of Kouvalata. Dating back to 1839, this period character, stone built 3 bedroomed family home enjoys uninterrupted breathtaking, panoramic views of mountains and sea, as far as Zakynthos, Lassi and Argostoli.
In keeping with a period restoration, the present owners have worked hard to maintain the character and look of the property true to its original design, such as retaining the original wooden plinths over the windows, and have successfully incorporated some modern features, such as double glazed hardwood windows throughout, as well as a very spacious one storey extension to the rear of the house.
The land has been tiered and bordered by natural stone walls, the stones of which were all sourced from the original house. A cultivated vegetable plot occupies one tier. Fruit and mature olive trees surround the property. At the far side of the house is a covered reservoir/water container.
This family house has been carefully restored, sympathetically finished and equipped to a high standard.
