PROPERTY DETAILS: Dating from around 1700 and once owned by nobility, this stunning estate is located 22km south of Corfu Town on the plateau of a low hill in Messonghi. It is above the main coast road and just 200 metres from the sea and 90 metres from Messonghi settlement. The estate consists of various buildings in addition to the main house including storehouses, cisterns, an olive press, and a chapel. Some of the buildings are thought to predate 1700. The buildings are in a circular fashion surrounding the main two-storey house, with some of them forming part of the courtyard wall. As the buildings open inwards, onto the courtyard, the estate gives the external appearance of a small fortress. The building area is 1,200m2 on a plot of 17,000m2. There is also the possibility to extend by another 2,600m2 on the plot. In 1983 the estate was granted ‘work of art and preservable historic monument status’ as it represents Heptanese architecture (typically representative of the Ionian Islands). Given this status, any renovation must comply with the guidelines set down by the antiquities department – mainly preserving the external appearance of the buildings. Messonghi is a modern, tourist resort with a long sandy beach and a resident population of around 300. Messonghi beach is pristine and totally free from mass tourism.
