Full Description:

One of the finest properties to come on the local market, this magnificent house that was recently constructed from stone is located five minutes above the harbor town of Kassiopi. This unique villa sits in 21,000 sqm of its own private land and has exceptional 180 degree views of the sea and distant Albanian mountain range.

It is very rare for such a property to become available in Corfu. The villa has been immaculately put together and this is shown in the overall quality and architectural detail. The stone walls are half a meter thick, all external doors and windows are framed by traditional stone lintels, the roof is constructed from large wooden beams and finished off using old Venetian roof tiles, the floors are laid in stone and have under-floor heating, all windows and shutters are hand made from hard wood, all bathrooms are tiled with Italian traventine marble, all bedrooms have authentic cypress wooden floors and the internal doors and kitchen have been hand crafted.

The house comprises a spacious kitchen with dining area, hallway / dining room, very large drawing room with an attractive Corfiot fireplace, study, downstairs loo, utility/storage room, and boiler room. Upstairs there are five large double bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Outside the kitchen is a covered sitting / dining area set under beautiful stone arches.

The property offers much space internally and has a feeling of immense charm, where old materials have been combined into modern living, providing total comfort for the inhabitant, whilst retaining the traditional feel. Externally there are many terraces that allow you to enjoy the utter tranquility and wonderful views that the location naturally provides. The property was once used as a farm and features such as the sheep shed, stone well and paved wheat threshing area have been restored and sit in the grounds of the house.

Additional planning has also been gained for a guesthouse, garage and a swimming pool with surrounding area. There is also ample space for a tennis court.

This property offers someone the opportunity to have a large family house with outbuildings and pool that is located in total privacy within the highly desirable North East Coast of Corfu.
