Fenced all aroundFor all individual stages of the overall estate (buildings, pool, well/bore and water rights), we haveobtained all necessary permissions and have paid all required fees.In detail:Plot A approximately 5, 000m house (The Big House) guest house (The Small House) swimming pool, 15x3m woodshed + storage area driveway and gate gardens glass house bore/well cistern 55, 000 litresPlot B approximately 5, 000m undeveloped planning permission for another house up to 220m ( When comes the new law, not currently ) Total Both plots have the following features in common: 220 olive trees of the variety Koroneiki Bio ( organic farming ) (distributed about 50/50) between 120 and approx. 400 years old access way system pipe system for olive irrigationThe Big HouseDesigned by Max Wild Architect, Arrowtown, New Zealand. Built 2009-2010 122, 65m of living space; 5 rooms ( 2 rooms at the ground floor to be completed ) fully equipped, open kitchen bath + Wc, shower + bathtub large roof terraces covered terrace in front of living area (southeast) large, open terrace (south) covered terrace in front of bathroom (southwest) underfloor heating Wodke wood stove with heat exchanger several pieces of furniture outdoor kitchen 171m basement garage with electric roller door Homematic home control (many essential functions can be programmed and/or controlled worldwide via appThe Small HouseIn the style of a studio, we had this typical agricultural shelter renovated in 2007/2008. BuiltAround 1910, this simple building offers good comfort for guests. It would also be suitable as anart studio, office or as a retreat. 24m Studio shower + Wc with own hot water supply small kitchen with fridge double bed table + chairs Haas+Sohn wood stoveThe swimming poolBuilt in 2014, the pool complements the buildings and completes the overall ensemble.The pool season is long! In April the pool offers water temperatures of around 24C. TheseIncrease constantly over the weeks up to 31C, sometimes even 32C from July. From the end ofAugust, the temperatures drop leisurely to be around 23C again at the beginning of October.The pool has been designed as a lap pool it measures 153 meters. It is 1.30m deep throughout. It is an overflow swimming pool with a total volume of 72m; including the buffer tank. This tank and a separate engine room are located under the pavilion. The circulation and filtration system are easy to handle. The system is directly solar powered and creates no cost of energy. This means that the pump runs when irradiation is strong enough. The system is dimensioned in such a way that sufficient circulation is ensured, even on the shortest winter daysOutdoor spacesThe gardens were designed and built by us the landscape architect Ralf and the gardenerGabriele over the period 2008-2012 and are subject to a process of constant change andadaptations.Remote controlled, 2-wing Corten steel gate at the top of thedrive concrete driveway and gravelled garage forecourt gravelled guest parking at the Small House with separate entrance two agricultural driveways at the top and bottom of plot A different patios for different times of day and weather conditions local stone dry-stack stone walls garden stairs constructed of stone and Corten steel various garden spaces with diverse vegetation fruit trees and espaliers: oranges (4 varieties), peaches (2 varieties), lemon, lime, pomegranate, figs (blue and green), feijoa, avocado, almonds, table olives (Kalamon), bananas, taro established vegetable and herb garden hedges: olive, rosemary, feijoa, lavender automatic garden irrigation (can be controlled worldwide via app) glass house 3x2m water feature in the courtyard connecting the two buildings woodshed 3x3m circumferential electric fence to repel wild boarEnergy supplyKavourorachi is self-sufficient for energy: 3kWp photovoltaic off-grid system with solar tracking device, 900Ah battery bank, 5kW inverter and 3.8kW Honda generator for low irradiation days in winter thermal system for water heating and supply of underfloor heating consisting of: solar collectors, wood stove with wet back, air to water heat pump, 1, 000-liter storage tank and fully automatic control technology 30-40% of the firewood demand is renewable on our land direct solar 1.8kW pool filtration system (no energy costs) direct solar deep well pump (no energy costs); pumping capacity 1, 500l/h (average) should it be desired: the nearest connection to the public power grid is at a distance of about 200-300m and can be constructed using the usual overhead linesWater supplyKavourorachi is also self-sufficient for water:Since 2017 we have our own deep well (bore), which supplies house and garden irrigation as wellthe irrigation system for the olive trees. The water is of excellent quality (potable water, laboratory tested) and available all year round. It is pumped from the ground by way of directly solar powered helix pump. This system works similarly to the swimming pool pump (same make) and creates no energy costs. This means that the pump can run when sufficient irradiation occurs. On average, about 1, 500ltr per hour can be conveyed and an operating pressure of about 4-5 bar is achieved. The bore pump can directly feed into the irrigation circuits, or it can fill the 55, 000ltr cistern. Both houses are supplied with water from this underground and reinforced concretecistern. The energy-efficient submersible pump delivers about 1, 500ltr/h at anoperating pressure of 4.5 bar. A filter and Uv sterilization system ensure best water qualityat all times.In addition, our land is also connected to the water supply of the municipality. An approximately 800m long, 32mm pipeline supplies a similar amount of water at similar pressure and flow rates as our in-house system.Fire protectionTo fight potential local fires and to support the fire brigade, we have set up a hydrant system.A 9bar Koshin pump, powered by Mitsubishi petrol engine, feeds the hydrants. During summer, the system is connected to the pool and a 50mm pipe system supplies three (3) hydrants atstrategic locations around the buildings. On-Site fire hoses with professional quick couplingsensure operational readiness within about 5 minutes.About 60, 000 litres for fire-fighting is available from the swimming pool in addition, the systemcan also be fed from the cistern (55, 000 litres)Olive productionDuring our time in Kavourorachi, we have produced organic extra virgin olive oil. The olive grove is now leased out care and harvesting are in the hands of a local organic olive oil producer. Costs for organic registration, fertilisers and pesticides are with us in return, we receive a share of the oil.Here are the key facts and figures about the plantation: 220 olive trees of the variety Koroneiki (between 120 and about 400 years old) access path system pipes and accessories for olive irrigation conversion from conventional to organic: between 2007 and 2010 organic registration: since 2010; certified by the Greek inspection and certification organization Dio. yield: between 3 and 7 tons of olives per year; almost all olive trees alternate consequently, high-yielding years alternate with weaker ones possible oil production: about 500-1, 100kg of extra virgin olive oil per yearFurtherFor olive agricultureA complete set of tools and machines for olive harvesting will come with the house: stationary olive harvester, 6hp Mitsubishi 4-stro
