Full Description

Description

A beautiful country residence in a serene setting with inspiring views, built in an environment-conscious manner, and just 10 minutes from Athens airport, metro station, or Porto Rafti beach.

It is far enough to enjoy privacy and close enough to enjoy the Athenian life. It offers panoramic views of the town of Markopoulo, the nearby vineyards, the Equestrian Centre and Athens Airport further away.

A rare feature of the property is that it was built just before the introduction of a new law forbidding any further construction on the 'Mountainous Zone' where the villa is located.

The building is for sale, as a whole or in parts; being near completion, it allows amendments to suit buyers' lifestyle.

Accommodation

The layout provides for 500 m2 of heated space, including a large reception area and 8 bedrooms with private bathrooms. An additional 300 m2 accommodate auxiliary functions and a 4-car garage. Outside, there is a 75 m2 heated swimming pool and direct access to the adjacent backwoods.

The plot

The one hectare (10,000 m2) plot is situated at an altitude of 150m above sea level, right at the foot of a hill. The mild slope (10-20%) is facing NE.

A 2.5m high masonry wall separates the plot from the street, with a 5m wide sliding gate at its end.

The plot contains about 50 fully grown olive trees that can produce a fair quantity of olive oil. Numerous new trees and bushes (cypress, laurel, etc.) have been planted along the edge of the plot as a natural fence. Vegetation has been enriched further by a number of lemon trees, herbs like rosemary and lavender, a small vegetable garden, and about 900 m2 of grass carpet.

An extensive automated irrigation system supports vegetation using underground water pumped from a deep borehole which offers water self-sufficiency and supports a powerful heat pump for underfloor heating and cooling.
