Description
Althea House is a charming two bedroomed stone house in a beautiful setting. The house sits on a tranquil lane with panoramic views over the meadows and out to the Ionian Sea. It also benefits from its proximity to the pretty hamlet of Antipata with its taverna and Italian wine bar.The house has been built using local, traditional skills and materials and careful design has been applied to maximise the benefits of Greek Island living.
The property consists of two double bedrooms upstairs.The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and traditional stone hand-basin. The French doors open out to a stone balcony which, like the rest of the house, benefits from shade through the day and a westerly facing evening sunset.The second double bedroom has a walk-in shower and stone basin and the French doors open onto a large stone terrace with wrought iron balustrade and flower beds.
Downstairs, there is a generous sitting room with views across the fields and connected by a bay window-door to a grand pergola, which is a key feature to the property. There is also a downstairs guest bathroom.
There is a well-equipped kitchen and pantry, which opens to the dining area. The kitchen tap supplies purified and enhanced drinking water.This Pure Ionic Water system is from WET Global – a recent recipient of the EU Seal of Excellence Award.
The house is designed to have a natural bio-climactic airflow, which, along with the stone walls and optimal aspect of the property, obviate the need to use air-conditioning, which is installed throughout the house nonetheless.In addition, the property has underfloor heating installed in all rooms, making it suitable for all year round living.
The wooden window frames, shutters and iron fittings are all handmade on the island, with such details giving the property a local and traditional ambience.The sustainable design features are continued outdoors, where the swimming pool system is provided by Naked Pools.This system ensures a freshwater swimming pool, offering many health benefits.
The pergola is very generous with built-in seating and BBQ area all shaded by large natural wooden beams and climbing jasmine.The property has its own parking area on the lower level beside the pool and storage room.
A narrow footpath runs from the garden gate up to Antipata, a less than five-minute walk away, and nearby is the harbour town of Fiskardo with its Venetian architecture and beautiful harbour.A footpath to the closest beach (20 mins walk and 5 mins by car), Dafundi Beach, is at the end of the lane.
Althea House has a special atmosphere and, overall, this is a rare chance to invest in a place that combines the best of traditional materials and methods with forward-looking design.
Althea Cottage is an attractive one-bedroom stone property, in a beautiful setting, located just behind IO House.The cottage has terracing to the side and front, which along with a traditional stone fountain offer a serene and tranquil external space.The cottage has a spacious main bedroom with a big ensuite bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower.The mezzanine provides a studio space or additional sleeping area.High ceilings and fans, along with large French windows maximise the airflow and comfort inside, reducing the need the use the air conditioning.
The cottage, like Althea house, is further enhanced by the handcrafted metal window frames, shutters and iron fittings, all produced on the island.The double doors of the cottage open out to a covered kitchen and dining area.This design maximises to the indoor/outdoor living experience.The purpose-built dining table is an important feature of the outdoor area, which is covered by a pretty pergola and has views out over the olive trees and meadow, ideal for a sunrise coffee or dining into the night.The dining area links to the terrace by the fountain.Althea cottage is an idyllic retreat offering nearby village life combined with the peace of a rural setting.
There is a high-end holiday rental business already in place for both properties.
