First Pictures

I've posted a few photos to give an overview of the house. Click on the "More" link to see them...

Aerial view showing the house and garden. The boundary is marked by a wall around most of the circumference; you can clearly see the line of grape vines growing atop the wall. Off to the right is a steep wooded valley with a small stream at the bottom. (This photo was taken in 1964, but almost nothing has changed since! The garden is a bit greener, though...)

This is a view from the south east corner. The main (nearer) part of the house is granite and about 100 years old. The more modern section (including the garage) is mostly concrete and added much later. The ground floor consists completely of storage areas at the moment; there is no internal access to the lower part of the granite building.

From down the hill. You can see how much of a gradient the house is on. In fact, on our map, the 285m contour line runs right through the house!

View from across the valley. Note the huge granite boulder immediately outside our boundary. All the other houses in our tiny village are beyond our house in this view.
