The Terraces
Olive Mill House
Overview
Until the 1950s this building pressed oil for the whole hillside. The wheel and the press are still in the lower room, kept as they were.
The 2017 restoration added a kitchen, four bedrooms and a pool without touching the shell. The walls are three feet thick, so the house holds its temperature through the summer with no mechanical cooling.
We introduced the buyer privately in early 2024. It sold in three weeks at the guide. We keep it here because it is exactly the kind of house that earns a place on the list.
Inside the house
- The mill room
- The original wheel and press are kept in place in the lower room, now a library and a place to sit out of the heat.
- The living floor
- A kitchen and a long room above, added in the 2017 restoration without cutting new openings in the three-foot walls.
- The bedrooms
- Four, tucked under the old roof structure, cool through the summer with no mechanical help.
