Ionian Islands, Cephalonia, Leivathos, Greece

Set within the peaceful, authentic village of Sarlata in the sought-after Leivatho region, this immaculate 63.55 sq.m. first-floor corner apartment offers low-maintenance Mediterranean living. The home is situated in a boutique development of only three residences, sharing its entrance with just one neighboring unit that is occupied for only a few weeks each year.

Interior Layout & Features

Entrance & Ground Level: Accessed via a bright, naturally lit shared staircase overlooking rear olive groves. The entrance foyer opens directly to a modern wet room (walk-in shower, basin, and WC) and the timber staircase to the mezzanine.
Kitchen & Dining: A dramatic double-height kitchen/dining space featuring fitted cabinetry and unobstructed south-facing views of Mount Ainos National
Park Lounge: An adjoining, light-filled living room framed by dark-wood contemporary ceiling beams. Double-glazed sliding doors open from both the living and dining areas onto an expansive, private balcony.
Panoramic Balcony: Captures sweeping 180-degree southwest-to-northwest vistas across olive orchards, the peak of Mount Ainos, the islet of Dias, Zakynthos on the horizon, and celebrated Ionian sunsets.
Mezzanine Level: A solid timber staircase ascends to an open, loft-style upper floor. This level features a comfortable sleeping area with integrated perimeter storage, a dedicated home office/study alcove, extensive wardrobe space, and a double-glazed skylight framing sea views toward Dias and Zakynthos.
Outdoor Grounds & Amenities Pool & Grounds: Landscaped communal grounds with mature Mediterranean flora, wide stone sun terraces, and a shared 33 sq.m. kidney-shaped pool.
Parking & Storage: Dedicated private parking to the rear, alongside an integrated utility/boiler room (apotheki). A secondary storage room accommodates the communal heating oil tank as well as this residence's dedicated backup water system.
Investment & Lifestyle Potential In a village dominated by large standalone villas, a turnkey, low-maintenance apartment with pool access and panoramic sea views represents a rare market segment. It serves as an ideal primary home for a local buyer, a lock-and-leave holiday retreat, or a high-yield asset for seasonal holiday letting in an area with limited apartment rental inventory.
Buyer's Notice: Non-EU purchasers should note that Greek property transfer tax rates are scheduled to rise from 3% to 15% starting July 2027, making pre-reform acquisition particularly advantageous.
