Sellene

There are sea-view villas, and then there are places where the horizon feels entirely your own. Sellene belongs to the latter.

Set high above the southern coast of Crete, between Sellia and Plakias, this 250 m² private residence occupies an extraordinary 10,000 m² estate, commanding uninterrupted 180-degree views across the Libyan Sea. Surrounded predominantly by agricultural land, the property enjoys a level of privacy, space, and visual freedom that has become increasingly rare along the island’s coastline.

Some properties have a sea view. Sellene has a horizon. Occupying an extraordinary elevated position above the Libyan Sea, Sellene is a 250 m² contemporary residence set within 10,000 m² of private grounds, with an uninterrupted 180-degree panorama stretching across the water and surrounding Cretan landscape. The elevated setting creates an extraordinary sense of openness, with the landscape falling away toward an uninterrupted expanse of blue.

The architecture is quietly distinctive. Contemporary lines meet subtle Cycladic influences through white lime-rendered walls, local stone, sculptural arches, and generous expanses of glass. Inside, beautifully proportioned living and dining spaces open toward the sea, while natural stone, timber flooring, and soft white finishes give the interiors an understated Mediterranean elegance.

The residence offers five principal bedrooms plus separate staff accommodation, including an impressive upper-level master suite beneath a vaulted ceiling rising to approximately five metres. A separate guest suite with its own entrance and terrace provides an additional sense of independence and privacy.

Beyond the house, Sellene reveals its true scale. Olive trees, manicured lawns, Mediterranean gardens, and stone pathways unfold across the estate, leading to a secluded elevated pool setting positioned apart from the main residence. Here, a 16 x 4 metre stone-tiled swimming pool faces the open sea, accompanied by a private pool house with its own fully equipped kitchen, creating an intimate destination for long summer days and evenings outdoors.

A remarkable 300 m² garage provides extensive space for vehicles, a boat, and storage, adding a highly practical dimension to an otherwise exceptionally refined estate.

Sellene is not simply a villa with land and a view. It is a private piece of the Cretan landscape—10,000 m² of space, silence, and uninterrupted sea, held together by architecture that knows when to make a statement and when to let the setting speak for itself.
