This property is arguably one of the finest landmark homes in Greece. Located on the North East shores of Corfu facing Albania and approximately an hour’s drive from Corfu Town, this beautiful family home is for sale for the first time in many years. The house is approached by a magnificent courtyard entrance and has the benefit of a small marina directly adjoining the garden. It has thirty stremmas of land (approximately seven acres) together with outbuildings in which there is a restaurant.

Full Description:

This highly unique and exclusive property used to be a venetian trading post back in the 15th century, when it was first built. The estate encompasses the main house, a three-bed guest house and a taverna, which is rented on a renewable annual contract. The horizon-edge swimming pool uses salt water taken from the sea below and enjoys 180 degree views up the channel, over to Albania and south, directly onto Corfu Town in the distance.

The main house sits right on the water's edge, and the master bedrooms, study, kitchen and living room all benefit from this magnificent location. The house comes fully furnished from the current owners, and includes an abundance of artwork and fine furniture, all of which has been fully inventoried. The property is presented in very good condition and is ready for immediate occupation.

The extensive gardens are well kept and are fully covered by an automated watering system. While the property also benefits from a back up generator in the event of a power cut. Both the pool and garage areas also have their own loo and shower rooms.

The top floor of the main house comprises two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a staircase leading down to the main floor. Here, in the main wing of the house, are a further four bedrooms and three bathrooms. At the far end of this wing is the beautiful living room with its ornate features and large french windows leading to a covered veranda and access to the pool and the mature gardens. At the other end is the study, entrance hall and dining room, with an oval bathroom at the end. Finally, there is the kitchen and a tradesman's entrance. On the bottom floor of the main house is located further guest accommodation with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen/diner; and to the side of this is a dramatic cellar with two long curved brick ceilings which are nearly at sea level. This area is dry and safe for winter storage of the property's outdoor furniture and boating paraphernalia. The whole house has a nautical feel, and a sense of its history is omnipresent throughout.

The guest house, which is located on the small road outside of the main gates, joins onto the estate's church and taverna, and consists of two floors and a total of three bedrooms and four bathrooms, two kitchens, two dining rooms and a living room; perfect accommodation for extra guests or staff.

This property presents the potential buyer with a lifetime opportunity.
