Description
A one-of-a-kind country estate at the heart of Agios Dimitrios hamlet, set within a beautiful rural landscape and close to several popular beaches. The setting is enriched by olive groves, vineyards, charming villages, historic churches with bell towers and rolling hills.
Set on over 2 acres of fertile land, the property features 590 sq.m. of buildings and is centered around a unique two-story villa of 270 sq.m. designed with the character and grandeur of a traditional Palazzo.
The residence combines impressive proportions with distinctive architectural details and a timeless Mediterranean atmosphere distinguished by an exceptional selection of materials and handcrafted details. The flooring includes handmade tiles produced in the island’s own kiln, Spanish collectible tiles and individually hand-painted tiles bearing the artist’s signature. Open, high ceilings with exposed wooden beams add warmth and character to the elegant interiors.
The villa comprises four bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with dining nook, a separate formal dining room, three roomy bathrooms, a laundry room and a generous living room featuring a beautiful custom fireplace. The two master bedrooms on the first floor boast private bathrooms, open beams and balconies and one of them has an exquisite fireplace of sea-harvested stone.
The estate is complemented by two fully functional guesthouses, of approximately 100 sq.m. and 70 sq.m. respectively, each with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a fully equipped kitchen. One of the guesthouses also benefits from a functional fireplace.
An additional 100 sq.m. building incorporates a separate library-office and 3rd guest house (in need of renovation) as well as one storage room.
Outside, the property features a large swimming pool measuring 12 x 5 meters, a built-in BBQ set among the olive trees, a functional well with an excellent water supply, and open parking space for up to five vehicles.
Located along one of the island’s main public roads, on the hillside of the village, is an additional 52 sq.m. building ( in need of renovation).
The estate has two possible entrances at different levels: one (potential entrance) providing access from the public road and another one (currently in use) from a provincial semi-private road.
Constructed in 1995 to modern standards while thoughtfully reflecting the grandeur and character of a 19th-century Palazzo, the property combines hand carved oak, bronze details, custom craftmanship and other distinctive materials to create a truly unique residence and atmosphere.
Offering substantial accommodation, extensive grounds and multiple independent buildings, this exceptional Palazzo-style estate presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive property in one of Zakynthos’ increasingly sought-after areas. It also presents a rare opportunity to acquire an estate that can be also be used commercially or as a tourist business.
