The property comprises three stone-built structures, constructed gradually up to 1980 using local materials and traditional craftsmanship: Main House (approx. 80 m²) Features wooden ceilings and a tiled roof, with a bright open-plan living area, kitchen, dining space, two bedrooms, and a generous bathroom with both shower and bathtub.

Trees include persimmons, cherries, apples, lemons, walnuts, quinces, oranges, and almonds, along with grapevines of select local varieties. Oleanders, roses, locusts, and layland trees form a lush natural hedge enclosing the estate.
