This graceful stone villa is set directly on the sea in a peaceful area of great natural beauty. Located within easy driving distance of Athens, it is ideal for family holidays throughout the year. The spacious house was completed in 1996 and offers interior space of about 953m² laid out on two levels. Every detail has been carefully considered with features including high ceilings, floors of hardwood or Karystos stone, antique roof tiles from Epidavros, and two 18th-century French fireplaces. The upper floor is introduced via an elegant sea-view entry hall which opens to an expansive salon, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cloakroom and double bathroom for guests. A separate wing provides four large bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and terrace. This level is circled by airy verandahs, whose tall overhanging ceilings are made of special wood beams imported from Austria. The ground floor is fitted with a large family room, a spacious library, two additional bedrooms, four bathrooms, generous storage areas and utility rooms, and direct access to an enclosed double garage. On this level, the rooms open to stone patios with views of the flower-filled gardens. An outdoor dining area offers a covered dining table, a traditional bread oven, and a stone barbecue. A broad terrace surrounds a sea-water swimming pool, and panoramic views of the sea and nearby islands abound throughout this seaside haven. The property is adjacent to a small half-moon-shaped bay with a sandy beach. Natural rock formations along the shoreline resemble sculptural art, and there is a secluded cove close to the house for swimming in the crystal-clear sea. The grounds of approximately 20,000m² contain a private water source and are lush with olive and fruit trees including pears, apricots, pomegranates, and lemons. Hand-cut stone pathways wind through the verdant landscape, and a large vegetable garden provides ample fresh produce for the kitchen. A charming guest house set amid the trees offers one bedroom, a bathroom, a sitting room with an open kitchen, and a covered terrace with a lovely view. The fresh country air combines with the sound of birds singing and the gentle lap of waves on the shore to create an atmosphere of total relaxation.
