Villa D'élégance Rustique à Keratea

This stunning French-styled villa, located just 55 minutes from Athens, offers an idyllic retreat with the feel of island living. Set on two acres of land on the edge of Sounion National Park, it boasts breathtaking views of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress trees, reminiscent of Tuscany. Nearby, the seaside towns of Anavyssos, Legrena, and Lavrion, as well as the iconic Temple of Poseidon, are just minutes away, blending natural beauty with cultural richness.
Built to the highest specifications, this 400 sq.m. villa is finished in a ‘distressed shabby chic’ style that combines rustic elegance with modern comfort. Natural materials such as solid chestnut beams from Mount Athos, distressed Syrian stone floors, Egyptian marble terraces, and Italian hand-distressed chestnut doors are used throughout, creating a timeless and refined ambiance. Bespoke handmade kitchen furniture by Chalon of Chelsea, and a magnificent stone fireplace in the spacious lounge, further add to the villa’s character.
The villa offers five bedrooms, four with en-suite bathrooms.
The ground floor includes a master suite with direct access to the south-facing lawn and swimming pool, along with two more double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a study (or fourth bedroom), a dining room, and a lounge that also opens onto the pool area.
The lower ground floor houses a self-contained studio apartment with its own kitchen and living space, including one bedroom with ensuite bathroom, perfect for guests, extended family, or domestic help.
The south-facing aspect floods the home with natural light, with all main rooms offering views of the beautifully landscaped gardens.
Over 500 sq.m. of lawns, 15 flower and shrub borders, and a kidney-shaped swimming pool with sunbathing terraces create a serene outdoor environment. An organic vegetable garden, currently fallow, and over 50 olive trees provide a sustainable touch, with enough olives to produce your own oil.
Modern conveniences include underfloor heating throughout, ducted air-conditioning (with units concealed for aesthetic purposes), double-glazed windows with mosquito screens, and hidden concrete beams to preserve the clean architectural lines. Security features such as double insulation, security glass, CCTV, burglar alarm, and wireless internet connection offer peace of mind.
Outside, the villa features a large outdoor dining pergola, a BBQ terrace, and a private cobblestone driveway with ambient lighting, leading to ample parking for more than 10 cars, plus a double garage with interior access to the home. A third garage space and outdoor shed provide additional storage.
With easy access to Athens (55 kms to the city center, 28 kms to the airport) and the natural beauty of the Sounion National Park at your doorstep, this villa is a rare gem that combines elegance, seclusion, and convenience. Offered in exemplary condition, it is ready for immediate occupancy, with all major fixtures and fittings included. Optional additional furniture is available for negotiation.
