Rare traditional stone house in Chora, Amorgos

A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic, traditional stone house in Chora on Amorgos, one of the most characteristic and sought-after settlements in the Cyclades.

The property is located in Fournarioi, right at the entrance to Chora and in close proximity to the main square, the access road, and public parking—an extremely valuable advantage for a traditional property in a Cycladic settlement.

Unlike many houses situated deep within the narrow pedestrian alleys of Chora, the proximity to the road provides practical access for construction and renovation work, including crane access and the delivery of building materials. This significantly simplifies the logistics of a future renovation and avoids the difficult and costly manual transport of materials often required for hard-to-reach properties in traditional Cycladic villages.

THE PROPERTY

• Existing structure: The house comprises a traditional residence built before 1977, measuring 55.30 m², which has preserved its original stone masonry and authentic Cycladic character.
• Legal status: The official topographic survey identifies the property as vertical ownership I2 with an area of 55.30 m² in Fournarioi, Chora, Amorgos.
• Renovation project: The property is offered as a renovation project with significant architectural potential.
• Preliminary work: Some of the preparatory work has already been carried out. Parts of the interior have been exposed and replastered, while a former utility room has been prepared and integrated into the living space, offering the possibility for a spacious second bedroom.
• Required work: The house requires further renovation measures, most notably the replacement of the existing roof. This gives the future owner the opportunity to design the property according to their own architectural vision.

EXCEPTIONAL ARCHITECTURAL POTENTIAL

• Existing height: Possibility to raise part of the existing structure to a maximum height of 5 meters.
• Spatial design: Opens up exciting options for the use of interior volume and architectural redesign.
• Design combination: Combines the existing stone shell with modern Cycladic living while preserving the original character of the building.

RARE LOCATION WITH PRACTICAL ACCESS

• Combination: Authentic stone house + location in Chora + direct proximity to the village entrance and main square + nearby parking + practical access for renovation work.
• Advantage: A significant practical and financial advantage for any extensive architectural renovation on a Cycladic island.
• Potential uses: Ideal as an exceptional private island retreat, an architecturally designed second home, or a characterful boutique hospitality property (subject to relevant permits).
