Casa Indipendente | N. Corfu/Achilleio

Old aristocratic country house for sale with a pool in Gastouri, overlooking the lush surrounding area and from the upper floor to the sea. It is 2 levels, renovated with respect to its style and historicity, suitable for those who appreciate an old house in the countryside with character and not a modern Airbnb type. Surrounded by a fantastic lush garden with cypress trees all around, indigenous trees of Corfu nature, and many fragrant bushes such as lavenders, myrtles, laurels, rosemary, and seasonal flowers. On the ground floor, there is the living room, the main bedroom, and 1 bathroom. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor where outside the bedrooms is a comfortable and elegant living room, the kitchen with a balcony leading to the huge terrace used as an outdoor living area with fantastic views of the garden, an old mansion, and the sea. The reason the kitchen is on the upper floor is this terrace, where in the summer the family enjoys their meals and drinks while enjoying the cool breeze coming down from the mountains of central Corfu. On this level, there are 2 bedrooms and 1 smaller one, as well as 1 bathroom. On the ground floor, on the side of the garden, there is another studio for guests and nearby the boiler room which is also used as storage space. Overall, it is an old country farmhouse to which the pool has been added for the residents to cool off during the summer months when they do not have time to go down to the sea. The nearest beach is in Benitses, 3 km away, where in the namesake tourist resort the visitor finds everything. It features a modern marina, countless taverns, and 2 famous restaurants. The city is 7 km from the house where anyone can visit the historic center and enjoy walks in Liston and Spianada where in the summer evenings the Philharmonics of Corfu from the kiosk delight the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
