Adaline

Positioned directly along the coastline of Kefalonia within mature seaside gardens, this waterfront estate combines the openness of the Ionian landscape with the privacy and scale of a substantial coastal property. Tall pine trees frame uninterrupted views across the water toward the mountains beyond, while the estate’s direct relationship with the shoreline creates a quieter atmosphere rarely found so close to the island’s principal services and connections.

The property extends across 4,412 sqm (47,490 sq.ft.) of landscaped grounds and comprises a principal residence together with a separate guest house, allowing the estate to accommodate both independent guest living and longer seasonal stays while preserving privacy between the two buildings. The architecture follows a restrained Mediterranean approach, with pale façades, broad terraces and large openings positioned to maximise natural light and the movement of sea air through the interiors during the warmer months.

Inside the main residence, the principal living and dining spaces open directly onto the gardens and coastline through wide glazed doors, creating a natural transition between interior and exterior areas. Light flooring and neutral materials reflect the brightness of the surrounding landscape, while nearly every principal room maintains a visual connection either to the sea or the mature gardens surrounding the house. The interiors remain calm and understated, allowing the setting and changing coastal light to define much of the atmosphere within the property itself.

The estate includes eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms distributed between the main residence and the guest accommodation. Several bedrooms open directly towards the coastline or gardens, while the separate guest house provides a more independent setting within the grounds for visitors or staff accommodation.

Outdoors, the estate unfolds gradually toward the waterfront through level lawns, shaded terraces and stone pathways bordered by Mediterranean planting. Mature pine trees create natural shelter throughout the gardens and reinforce the sense of seclusion across the property, despite its accessible location. The swimming pool is positioned slightly elevated above the shoreline, oriented towards the open Ionian horizon and the mountainous landscape of Kefalonia’s interior beyond.

The property maintains a strong connection to the sea through its immediate waterfront position and proximity to a nearby pier, while Argostoli and Kefalonia International Airport remain within comfortable driving distance. The balance between accessibility and privacy gives the estate a year-round practicality unusual for a waterfront property of this scale.

As the afternoon light softens, the movement of the sea reflects subtly across the terraces and gardens below the house, while the pine trees along the shoreline filter the prevailing coastal breeze moving inland from the Ionian.
