Mesa Chorio, Aegean 84500

Traditional Residential Tower Andros Close to the Andros Town stands a rare traditional residential tower, a unique example of aristocratic and fortified architecture of the 19th century, founded in 1814 during the Ottoman period. It is an exceptionally rare property, as only one other tower of the same architectural design exists on the island and very few have survived across the Cyclades. The marble-carved coat of arms featuring the Byzantine double-headed eagle, together with the construction date and the original owner's initials, dominates the main entrance and highlights the historical and symbolic character of the monument. Fortification was essential, especially on the northern side, where the traditional embrasures are preserved, bearing witness to the need for protection in a turbulent era. The main building is developed over multiple levels and combines authenticity with modern functionality. On the lower level there is a kitchen, a dining area with built-in barbecue and traditional wood-fired oven, a monastic-style dining hall, auxiliary spaces housing the boiler and water tanks, an independent staff apartment with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, a storage room, as well as a fortified area with five traditional embrasures on the northern side. The main ground floor features an impressive central living room of Cycladic character with a six-metre ceiling height, a carved fireplace and a built-in wine cellar, a reception lounge and office with a second carved fireplace, a fully equipped dining room, two bedrooms, one bathroom and one Wc, as well as a fully equipped kitchen with modern electrical appliances. The first floor accommodates four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a Tv and playroom with access to a courtyard with wooden pergola, built-in seating and unobstructed views, recently renovated. The quality of construction is outstanding, with stone external walls measuring 0.80 to 1.00 metres in thickness, wooden floors throughout, twenty-six wooden windows Sylor with shutters, three carved wooden security entrance doors with ten locking points, central oil heating, roof insulation with liquid aluminium, and traditional furniture and lighting that enhance the authentic atmosphere. The property also features an electric garage door and five parking spaces, two of which are covered. The surrounding estate, with a total area of 25,000 square metres, further enhances the unique character of the property and includes a second entrance with a private internal road, a traditional Tinos-style dovecote with the possibility of conversion into a residence, a stone threshing floor with a diameter of seven metres, a small stone cottage with a marble fountain and water cistern, an autonomous well with an electric pump and a dedicated independent electricity supply exclusively for its operation, an automatic irrigation system covering 80% of the land while the remaining 20% is irrigated through community water usage rights, as well as cypress trees, olive trees, fruit trees and cultivated areas as shown on the topographical plan. The property is not merely a prestigious private residence, but may also be utilised as a high-end hospitality venue (boutique hotel or luxury guesthouse), as a cultural or exhibition space, for hosting small-scale, high-aesthetic events (weddings, receptions, retreats), and as a unique investment property of international appeal..
