Mykonian traditions are combined with old world charm to create a very cultured ambiance. Originally built in 1906 on the outskirts of the village of Ano Mera, the residence of 700 sqm is set in a lush garden of 2,700 sqm filled with mature trees and colorful Mediterranean flora of all hues. The main house offers large reception spaces with inviting dining and sitting areas, a study, a sun lounge, a guest wc, the original traditional kitchen as well as a fully-equipped modern kitchen, a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a further bedroom with bathroom, and service rooms. Notable features include high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, antique oak floors, terracotta tiles, decorative objects and furniture from every corner of the world, and covered terraces and verandas for outdoor relaxing and entertainment. An independent guest cottage next to the beautiful swimming pool offers 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a private sitting area. An additional secluded cottage for either guests or live-in staff is composed of two floors, each including two bedrooms, a sitting area, a kitchen, and a shower room. Adjacent plots of land measuring in total 2,350 sqm are included in the estate. These secure privacy, provide space for additional parking and a vegetable garden, and offer the possibility for additional construction in the future if desired.
