House for sale in Pythos, Corfu

This tastefully restored house lies in a tiny hamlet, Pythos, accessed by an enchanting winding road bound by ancient olive trees.

This charming and well-loved settlement has no through access and so remains quiet and undisturbed by the outside world. There are wonderful views to the sea, outlying islands and Albanian mountains.

Pythos is only 15 minutes drive from the fashionable port of Kassiopi and three minutes from the thriving village of Perithia, where there is a post office and selection of bars and restaurants. The town of Acharavi, with banks, large supermarkets and all amenties is 15 minutes drive along the coast. The World Heritage site of Old Perithia is a 20 minute drive into the mountains.

On entering this traditional stone property, the whole ground floor is open plan, with the wonderful designer kitchen and eating area on your left, the living area on your right and straight ahead the staircase.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a large family full bathroom, all with large windows and lots of light.

On the third and top floor of the house is a large master bedroom with lots of storage space and a full en suite bathroom.

From this bedroom and the top of the stairs are French windows leading onto a spacious, shady veranda with sea and mountain views: perfect for sunsets in the summer and snow capped mountains in the winter.

The whole house has under-floor heating, double glazed windows and there is air conditioning in the master suite which makes this a perfect residence for comfortable year round living, family life, or entertaining.

Features include iroko window frames, front stable door and shutters and a brand new steel skeleton built into the old walls to provide a seriously strong structure.

The property comes with 430 sq metres of land on which you can build a 200 sq metre house. It currently has two olive and two orange trees. This land is 30 metres from the house and easily accessed up a delightful track through a neighbouring olive grove and is currently used as parking for the house.
