Private Country Residence With Panoramic Sea Views

Set in the peaceful countryside near Karousades, this substantial 297m² villa combines generous accommodation, panoramic sea views, privacy and excellent year-round infrastructure, while remaining just minutes from the amenities of North Corfu.

Completed in 2017 and arranged over three levels, the property occupies an approximately 2,200m² plot and has been carefully equipped for comfortable year-round living. From the gated entrance and driveway, the elevated position immediately reveals wide views across the surrounding countryside towards the sea.

The main entrance opens into a spacious hallway, leading to the principal living areas. The main floor is centred around a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with a separate snug providing a quieter area for reading or relaxing. Full-height doors open onto the main terrace and balcony, bringing the views directly into the living spaces.

The kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, American-style fridge freezer with chilled water and ice dispenser, and a five-stage reverse-osmosis drinking water system. An island provides additional preparation space and power.

Also on this level is a double bedroom and a shower room.

The first floor accommodates three further double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom has air conditioning/heating, while the master bedroom also has a ceiling fan. Several of the bedrooms open directly onto the upper balcony, where the views extend across the surrounding countryside and towards the sea.

A staircase leads from this level to a useful attic storage area.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor areas are designed around the views and the Corfiot climate.

A large heated swimming pool sits alongside the main terrace, with a Hayward air-source heat pump allowing the pool temperature to be controlled remotely via an app. The pool also features underwater multi-coloured lighting.

The surrounding terraces are finished in Corfiot stone and include covered verandas, a pergola, outdoor kitchen and BBQ area. The BBQ area incorporates a fridge, storage, marble sink, power and lighting, making it particularly practical for outdoor entertaining.

There is also a six-person hot tub, solar-heated outdoor shower and extensive terrace lighting.

The approximately 2,200m² grounds are relatively open and offer considerable scope for further landscaping. Existing planting includes mature fruit trees, olive, palms, jasmine, bougainvillea, rosemary, lavender, grape vines and other Mediterranean plants, together with a stone-surrounded well.

Rainwater is captured and directed to the property’s water storage system.

Lower Level & Garage

The lower level provides a substantial three-car garage, workshop and additional storage space, with two remote-controlled electric garage doors.

The size and layout of this level also provide scope for future conversion, subject to the necessary permissions. It could potentially accommodate a gym, studio, office, cinema, spa or additional living accommodation.

Location

The villa offers a particularly useful balance between privacy and accessibility. Set within a peaceful rural environment, it is approximately five minutes from local amenities and everyday conveniences, with both Acharavi and Sidari easily accessible.

The surrounding area offers a choice of beaches, restaurants, shops and services, while the property’s elevated position provides a sense of space and uninterrupted views that are increasingly difficult to find close to the northern coast.

A Versatile North Corfu Residence

With four en-suite bedrooms, substantial living areas, a heated pool, extensive outdoor space, panoramic sea views and unusually comprehensive infrastructure, the property is suited to a number of uses.

It would make an excellent permanent family home, a substantial second residence or a high-quality holiday rental property. The lower level offers additional scope for future adaptation, while the open grounds provide the opportunity to develop a more extensive Mediterranean garden.

The combination of 297m² of accommodation, a 2,200m² plot, panoramic sea views, heated pool, three-car garage and year-round infrastructure makes this a substantial property with considerable flexibility in one of North Corfu’s most sought-after areas.
