The Selection: The Genoese Bastion Estate | Kampos, Chios (Ref: 54055) Deep within the historic citrus groves of Kampos—a protected settlement often referred to as the ”Tuscany of the Aegean”—lies an expansive 8,990.35 sq.m. estate that embodies the aristocratic legacy of the Genoese era. This is a rare heritage acquisition, centered around a monumental 303.46 sq.m. traditional Mansion Tower. The property offers a profound dialogue between 15th-century architectural nobility and the untapped potential of a sprawling Mediterranean orchard, located just 3.5 km from the airport and 6 km from the vibrant city center.
The estate is a perfectly preserved example of the ”Kambos” architectural model, enclosed by high, hand-hewn stone walls that ensure absolute privacy. At the heart of the grounds stands the imposing Tower, constructed from the region’s signature red incense stone (Thymiana stone). While the Tower requires a total restoration to return it to its former glory, its rich morphological decorations and arched structural elements mark it as a masterpiece of medieval design. Complementing the main tower is a more contemporary 170.20 sq.m. detached house, which serves as a functional residence requiring only partial renovation to meet modern luxury standards.
The grounds are a living museum of traditional Chian hydraulic engineering, featuring an elaborate mangano (traditional pulley system), a deep stone-built well, and a classic cistern. The lush garden is a prolific orchard, heavily planted with Chios’ world-renowned mandarins, oranges, lemons, and ancient olive trees. The property’s 97-meter frontage on a primary municipal road provides high visibility and effortless logistical access, while the building coefficient of 0.80 offers substantial room for further architectural expansion.
This unique ensemble presents limitless possibilities for the visionary collector: from a bespoke private sanctuary for history enthusiasts to a high-yield, luxury agritourism project or a boutique heritage hotel. In a region where such large, unified estates are increasingly scarce, this property represents a definitive investment in the cultural soul of Chios. Price: €750,000.
