A Historic Residence With Modern Amenities In Vrontados, Chios

The Selection: The Captain’s Manor | Omiroupoli, Vrontados (Ref: 5273)
In the storied district of Vrontados—traditionally the home of Chios’ most elite seafarers—stands an impressive mansion that bridges the gap between mid-19th-century grandeur and contemporary precision. Originally established in 1851 and undergoing a total structural and aesthetic renovation in 2005, this 298 sq.m. estate is set on a dominant 816 sq.m. plot, offering a rare combination of historical weight and modern luxury.

The estate is configured as a primary 240 sq.m. maisonette complemented by an independent 48 sq.m. guest house—a strategic setup for hosting or high-end service. The main residence spans three levels:

The Ground Tier: A formidable open-plan lounge and dining arena anchored by a classic fireplace, paired with a professional-grade independent kitchen.

The Executive Tier: Three expansive bedrooms, including a primary master suite with a private dressing room and en-suite. A secondary lounge with a built-in bar and kitchenette ensures this level remains a self-contained sanctuary.

The Attic Retreat: A converted, private chamber with direct access to a panoramic terrace, designed for total seclusion with commanding views of the Aegean.

The technical infrastructure is engineered for autonomy. The property features a private swimming pool, an ornate stone fountain, and a dual underground reservoir system with a 70-cubic-meter capacity for rainwater harvesting—a vital asset for island sustainability. Modern comforts include autonomous oil heating, air conditioning, and high-performance aluminum frames with double glazing.

The grounds are a masterpiece of Vrontados landscaping, featuring a manicured courtyard with fruit trees and ornamental flora, all protected by high-perimeter stone walls for absolute privacy. Completed by a 40 sq.m. secure garage and storage unit, this estate is more than a home; it is a definitive statement of status in one of the island’s most respected neighborhoods. Price: €535,000.
