Villa 416 Sq.M For Sale

The Selection: The 18th-Century Noble Estate | Kampos, Chios (Ref: 53106)
Deep within the ancestral citrus groves of Kampos, Chios, stands a monumental 18th-century mansion that serves as a living testament to the island’s Genoese and aristocratic heritage. This 415.90 sq.m. estate, set upon a sprawling 6,732.08 sq.m. expanse of verdant land, is a rare architectural jewel whose image has graced the pages of Greece’s most prestigious real estate and design journals. Enclosed by high, hand-hewn stone walls, the entrance is marked by an imposing portico bearing the family coat of arms, leading into a traditional pebbled courtyard centered around an authentic manganopigado (well) and a classic stone cistern.

The interior of the mansion is a masterclass in historical preservation, defined by cross-arched vaults and sophisticated split-level volumes that create a grand sense of theatre. The ground floor serves as the formal reception heart, featuring a voluminous open-plan salon, a formal dining arena, and an intimate living sanctuary anchored by a traditional fireplace. A sun-drenched, self-contained gourmet kitchen with its own patio offers direct access to the private orchards, blending 18th-century charm with a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. This level is completed by a premier master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a refined guest powder room.

The architectural journey continues up an imposing staircase to the upper gallery, which overlooks the ground-floor vaults and leads to the private quarters. This floor hosts a secondary master suite, three additional spacious bedrooms, and a central bathroom, all serviced by balconies that offer a commanding view over the ”Endless Green” of the Kampos valley. Beyond the main residence, the estate expands into a multi-purpose auxiliary wing featuring a laundry suite and a secluded recreation zone centered around a private swimming pool, designed for absolute discretion and leisure.

While the soul of the mansion dates back to the late 1700s, a comprehensive modernization in 2000 successfully integrated contemporary comforts without compromising its historical integrity. The acquisition is uniquely structured across three separate contracts—comprising the primary mansion plot and two adjacent parcels—providing the new owner with significant additional building capacity for further development or guest annexes. This is a definitive legacy asset for the collector of historic European estates, offering a level of prestige and architectural pedigree that is increasingly impossible to replicate.
