Ionian Islands, Corfu, Poulades, Greece

Situated in an elevated position with lovely sea views, this charming property has been thoughtfully designed by its owners and completed to a very high standard. The property has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the area is ideal, combining both residential and holiday homes.

Gates lead into the property grounds, with a sweeping driveway leading up to the back of the house where there is ample parking, shaded by olive and cypress trees. The rear of the property is like a forest, ensuring complete privacy from any neighbouring houses. A few steps up to the covered porch and the front door leading into this unique home.

Spread over three levels, plus a spacious basement, the property was originally a family home which is now used as a successful holiday rental property. On the ground floor, the hallway leads to the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. There is a good-sized country-styled kitchen with pantry, which leads through to the dining room and a few steps down to the large lounge, complete with energy fireplace for the colder months. Large windows look out over the pool terrace and balcony doors open out for convenient access to the terraces.

Back in the hallway, there is a guest WC and stairs leading down to the basement level which is used as a cinema room, with a seperate self contained apartment and storage rooms. On the first floor there is a double room which is large enough to be converted into two separate bedrooms. Patio doors lead out to a pretty veranda overlooking the gardens and view. There is a shower room on this level and another room which is currently used as a study, with stairs leading up the loft. The loft space is yet another large bedroom with a cleverly designed ensuite shower room.

Outside, the front of the house has paved terraces and a beautiful infinity pool, perfectly in-keeping with the style of the house. There is a large BBQ area to the side with covered eating area, and plenty of shaded corners for lounging on a hammock under a tree or sitting by the pool. The garden has been lovingly cared for and adds to the overall character of the house.

The property has central heating installed throughout, with air conditioning also in the bedrooms and sitting room. An alarm system is also in place, and a back up water reserve tank.

Neratzia is conveniently located a short drive from Gouvia marina and less than 20 minutes from Corfu Town. The beaches of both the north-east and west coast are within easy reach, as are all amenities such as large supermarkets, cafes and restaurants.

A truly unique property with lots of charisma and style, it would make a lovely family home or rental property.
