Meraki

Meraki occupies a privileged waterfront position on the coastline of Kythnos, set within more than 4,000 sqm (43,056 sq.ft.) of terraced land overlooking the Aegean towards Serifos and Syros. Built into the natural contours of the hillside, the property follows the terrain through a series of interconnected levels that descend gently towards the sea. Reached by a country road that ends at the estate itself, the setting enjoys a notable sense of privacy while remaining closely connected to the surrounding landscape.

Recently renovated, the property combines the simplicity of traditional Cycladic architecture with a restrained contemporary sensibility. Whitewashed volumes, natural stone and shaded outdoor spaces are integrated into the hillside, allowing the residence to sit comfortably within its surroundings rather than stand apart from them. The northeast orientation provides open views across the water while welcoming softer morning light into the living spaces and terraces throughout the day.

The main residence extends across approximately 200 sqm (2,153 sq.ft.) and is arranged over two independently accessed levels connected through the outdoor spaces. The principal interiors are oriented towards the sea, with generous openings framing uninterrupted views across the bay. A palette of pale stone, white-painted surfaces and natural timber creates a calm and cohesive atmosphere throughout the house, while the layout encourages an easy relationship between the interior spaces and the landscape beyond.

The living and dining areas open naturally onto a series of terraces that extend the daily living spaces outdoors. Rather than concentrating activity in a single area, the property unfolds through a variety of sheltered and open spaces positioned to respond to the changing light, sea views and prevailing breezes. This layered arrangement creates a sense of movement through the estate while preserving quieter corners throughout the day.

Accommodation is distributed between the main residence and an independent guesthouse positioned on a lower level of the property. The main house contains four bedrooms, including one suite on the principal level and three further bedrooms above. Two additional bedrooms are located within the guesthouse, allowing guests a greater degree of privacy while remaining fully connected to the wider estate.

The outdoor areas form an integral part of the property’s character. Terraces, courtyards and landscaped levels follow the natural topography of the site, creating a continuous dialogue between architecture and landscape. From multiple vantage points across the estate, the view remains focused on the sea and the neighbouring islands beyond, while the changing colours of the water bring a subtle sense of movement to the setting throughout the day.

The combination of waterfront positioning, privacy and thoughtful integration with the terrain gives the property a strong sense of place within the Kythnian landscape. As the afternoon light softens across the hillside, the architecture recedes into its surroundings and the horizon becomes the defining feature of the view.

Eligible for both the Greek Golden Visa and Greek Non-Dom Programme.
