Historic Estate in Ermioni

A Landmark 19,300 sq.m. Private Estate Opposite the Island of Hydra

Some properties are defined by their location, others by their architecture. A select few bring together history, authenticity, privacy and an exceptional Mediterranean setting.

On the eastern coast of the Peloponnese, in Ermioni and directly opposite the island of Hydra, lies one such property: a historic 341 sq.m. villa set within a private estate of approximately 19,300 sq.m., surrounded by an olive grove, mature gardens and century-old pine trees.

Built circa 1880 as the summer residence of the Leousis family, the villa is closely connected to the history of both Ermioni and Hydra. A prominent family with significant maritime and commercial activity, the Leousis family selected this particular location not only for its beauty, but also for its remarkable natural microclimate. Sea breezes flow from the entrance of the bay towards the Kataphyki Gorge, creating naturally pleasant conditions throughout the summer months.

More than 140 years later, the residence retains its original grandeur and unmistakable character. Thick stone walls, generous proportions, impressive high ceilings and exquisite ceiling paintings created by Italian artists lend the interiors an atmosphere that would be virtually impossible to recreate today. Fully renovated with respect for its architectural identity, the villa has been officially designated by the Greek Ministry of Culture as a “work of art”, recognised for its particular architectural significance.

The experience of the house begins on the ground floor, where the entrance opens into a grand central hall that sets the tone for the residence. From here, the rooms unfold naturally into a separate living room and formal dining room, while a large independent kitchen opens directly onto a veranda, creating an effortless connection with the gardens and outdoor life. Two bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage room complete this level.

A staircase leads to the first floor and another spacious central hall, around which four further bedrooms are arranged. A large bathroom serves this level, while verandas to both the front and rear of the house extend the living spaces outdoors, allowing different perspectives over the estate and the surrounding landscape throughout the day.

In total, the villa offers six bedrooms and two bathrooms across two generous levels, with a layout that has preserved the elegance and sense of space characteristic of a grand country residence of its period.

Beyond the house, the approximately 19,300 sq.m. estate creates a rare sense of seclusion despite its proximity to Ermioni. Enclosed by a traditional high stone wall, the predominantly level grounds are planted with approximately 500 irrigated Koroneiki olive trees and feature mature Mediterranean vegetation, landscaped areas and impressive old pine trees. The estate benefits from its own private well and irrigation system, while a historic outdoor cistern and a separate caretaker’s house offer additional restoration potential.

One of the property’s greatest privileges is the balance between privacy and accessibility. The port of Ermioni and the new marina are only a few minutes away on foot, while the beaches of the Ermionida peninsula, Porto Heli, Hydra, Spetses and Ancient Epidaurus are all within easy reach. Athens is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes away by car.

This is far more than a summer residence. It is a property of genuine provenance — a historic villa that has remained connected to the same family lineage since its creation, protected for its architectural and artistic significance and surrounded by a substantial private Mediterranean estate.

A home with history, character and enduring value — and a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of an authentic piece of Ermionida’s heritage, directly opposite Hydra. KW FOR YOU, contact phone: [hidden information], email: [hidden information], website:
