Resort Sites Argosaronic | Ploumis - Sotiropoulos

Steeped in artistic history, this remarkable estate in Hydra was the family home of one of Greece’s great painters, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, whose family owned the property from the 18th century. In 1937, the artist restored the house, transforming it into his home and studio and creating a cultural meeting place for prominent figures of the artistic and literary world, including the writer Patrick Leigh Fermor and the painter John Craxton. Leigh Fermor famously described it as a “laboratory of prose”.
The house was completely destroyed by fire in 1961, and its ruins remain on the estate today. Set at one of the highest points of Kaminia, the property occupies land of 4,141 sq.m. enclosed by traditional stone walls, and benefits from a restoration permit for structures of approximately 1,078 sq.m. The estate enjoys spectacular, open and uninterrupted views across the sea towards the Peloponnese and enjoys a rare sense of privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape. The existing ruins comprise three buildings, including the former main residence and studio. The proposed restoration will create a sophisticated principal residence featuring six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, generous living areas, a kitchen, home cinema, gym, jacuzzi and swimming pool. Two separate guest or staff houses will provide two additional bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, as well as storage, laundry and auxiliary spaces.
Located approximately 20 minutes on foot from Hydra Town or just 5 minutes by sea taxi, the estate is also only 500 meters from the nearest beach. This is a rare opportunity to restore a property with a unique artistic legacy, complemented by exceptional open views of the sea and the Peloponnese, in one of Hydra’s most privileged locations.

Only steps from the beach and close to the coastal road of Spetses, this land of 340 m² has a facade of 17 meters on a quiet street and comes with a permit to build a villa of 343 m² with a swimming pool. The home will have a ground floor of 130 m^2, a first floor of 104 m², and a basement of 130 m². It has been designed to feature 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a staff room, a fireplace and an elevator. The permit expires in September 2029. From the first floor there will be an open view to the sea. 

This rare land plot measuring 926 m² is located at a distance of 800 m from the Old Port and 500 m from the beach of Agios Nikolaos. The property faces on two roads and is inside the town plan with a building factor of 0.8 which allows construction of up to 445 m² on two levels. There is an old house built in the 1930΄s on the property measuring 158 m² in total. This is a rare opportunity suitable either for a constructor or for a family who wishes to create a vacation home in this cosmopolitan island.
