The Hydra Dream

This unique and unprecedented offering combines an elegant townhouse overlooking the picturesque port of Hydra with an idyllic beachfront estate on the same island. The two rare properties are offered together, giving their owners the opportunity to participate in the artistic and cosmopolitan life of the town while also enjoying access to a peaceful seaside retreat of unparalleled beauty far from the cares of the modern world. Both homes have been designed with meticulous attention and created with quality, offering a lifestyle of understated luxury.                                                                                           

The stone townhouse is a jewel of the island’s traditional architectural style. Its interior spaces of 200 m2 are offered tastefully decorated with a charming selection of furniture and art. Featured are several sitting rooms with stone walls and arches, wood-beam ceilings, and two fireplaces. Three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen complete the cozy and atmospheric home. Several outdoor terraces are ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining with the harbor and its surrounding hillside of historic houses forming a beautiful backdrop especially at sunset. A lovely swimming pool, one of the few existing on the island, is perfect for refreshing dips. The house is set just a short walk from the port with its lively tavernas, boutiques, and art galleries.

At a distance of only 15 minutes by water taxi, an exceptional gem is offered as an annex to the townhouse. Its grounds of 106,000 m2 are abundant with trees creating a magical forest with two pristine beaches and a small boat dock at its foot. A stone house of 153 m2 was built in 2000 and is composed of a living-dining area with a large fireplace, a gourmet traditional kitchen, and two spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Broad terraces with truly breathtaking views of nature and the sea circle the house and offer abundant space for dining and relaxing under the stars. The estate may also be accessed on foot via a combination of forest paths known only to a few. The property has been cultivated for self-sufficiency, including a vegetable garden, a poultry house, and an olive grove. Solar panels create independent electricity and a desalinator produces unlimited amounts of fresh water.

Never in the history of the island has such a special opportunity appeared in Hydra.
