A special offer in Lefokastro!

LOCATION: In the hinterland of Skopelos's Chora

At times, life on a Greek island can feel downright exhausting. If you have ever visited Mykonos, Crete or Santorini during the summer months, you know all about that. Gorgeous destinations, sure, but during the peak-season they are often terribly overcrowded, noisy and far from charming or pleasant. Fortunately, there are still places like Skopelos in the Sporades, though: A well-kept secret and a magical antidote to all the things you DON'T want on a Greek island, whether you are just vacationing for a few days or living there year-round. And if you are lucky enough to call a place like this one home, you certainly have done something right in life.

Completed in 2006 and meeting highest building standards, this spectacular island retreat offers not only all the modern amenities you would come to expect from a top of the line estate, it actually affords you an entirely new look at life: Say goodbye to the draining day to day craziness and embrace a new sense of well-being, defined by pristine beauty and serenity right outside in front of your doorstep. Nestled above the town of Skopelos and only minutes away from the harbor promenade and old town's enchanting cobble-stoned alleys, this unique hide-away in the Raches area gives you all that. Maximum privacy and stunning sea- and mountain views are just some of the many features you will absolutely cherish about this home.

Surrounded by dozens of mature olive and fruit trees on almost two acres (appr. 7500 square meters), this Villa guarantees you the best of both worlds: Peace and quiet when you want it, yet close enough to town for spontaneous Taverna outings or a quick iced coffee or cocktails by the sea in the afternoon.

No shortcuts were taken during the design and construction of this extraordinary, gated Pool estate, which also features a small, separate Kalivi (old farmhouse) of 25 square-meters. The Kalivi is currently being used as a workshop and storage space for firewood but could potentially be converted to a guesthouse.

Natural stonewalls line several, terraced footpaths as well as the long driveway that leads from the wrought iron gate to the main house. From there, an attractive walkway, built from local pavers, takes you down to the sparkling pool. The latter is 9.0 m by 4.5 m in size, which makes it just as perfect for a good workout as it is for lazy lounging or some splish-splashing under the sun. Also, instead of using regular plaster, the owner opted to have the entire swimming pool meticulously tiled with upscale blue mosaic tiles. The result is visually stunning and even more aesthetically accented by the marble coping that surrounds the pool. Nearby, a beautiful covered BBQ area, equally lined by natural stonewalls that were built by local craftsmen invites al fresco entertaining and cooking in the company of good friends and family.

The main-house was constructed with a solid, fully insulated tile roof that is virtually maintenance free and designed to keep the heat out in the summer but inside in the wintertime. An energy efficient, oil fired central heating system provides year round comfort with the flip of a switch, while modern air-conditioning inverter-units throughout the house do the same during those hot summer months.

The first floor offers generous 120 square-meters of living space, comprised of one (master) bedroom, two bathrooms, a generously sized living room as well as the open concept kitchen, featuring top of the line appliances (for example a contemporary side by side stainless steel-refrigerator with ice dispenser etc.), cabinets and fittings. The beamed ceiling exudes cozy comfort and Mediterranean elegance at the same time. A central staircase leads down to the basement floor of 80 square meters with two more bedrooms that are nice and cool in the summer. Additionally, a bathroom, utility room and a huge storage area that could be turned into yet another bedroom with little effort, offer endless possibilities. Both floors are tastefully tiled with high quality materials and low maintenance in mind. From this floor, you also have access to the property's two car-garage, which allows for safe parking or long term storage of your vehicles.

One of the home's undisputed highlights is the enormous balcony that provides fantastic views of the Aegean Sea. So no matter whether your idea of heaven on earth is hanging out on the oversized balcony with a cool drink in hand, taking in those mind-blowing sunsets, lounging by the pool on a hot summer day, or unwinding in front of the fireplace with a good book during the fall or winter months - this home gives you all the options anyone could possibly ask for.
