Description

RAt the edge of the shoreline, where the waves have whispered their secrets for centuries, stands a rare and iconic house — almost legendary. With its distinctive silhouette, marked by two turreted watchtowers, it looks like a little seaside castle, proudly watching over the ocean.



Like a grand old lady steeped in history, this 200 m² home unfolds over four levels, offering countless possibilities. Yes, it awaits to be revived, reimagined — but its soul remains intact, and its charm is everlasting.



From every window, a living painting reveals itself: the rhythm of the tides, ever-changing light, and the infinite horizon... And at the very end of the garden, a rare privilege: direct access to the beach, like a secret pathway to elsewhere.



The garden itself is a haven of nature — a little wild, a little poetic. Beneath the branches of a majestic, 300-year-old cypress — the silent guardian of the place — flourish fig trees, pomegranate trees, and other ornamental species, inviting both contemplation and harvest.



At the rear of the house, a sun-filled veranda extends the summer evenings and quiet morning coffees in the garden. A discreet carport completes the property, ensuring everyday comfort.



Here, every stone, every tree, every view tells a story. It is a place of memory, a place with a soul — ready to become the setting for new lives, family reunions, and dreams yet to be created.



A rare and unique home — a haven of character for those who love authenticity and the ocean.
