After 16 years of having a home on the beautiful Greek island of Karpathos, it is with a heavy heart that my family has to sell their special piece of paradise, which they built in stone with local stone masons.
The home, which sits on five stunning olive tree terraces totalling 5800 square metres (just under 1.5 acres) of land, was built on love and adventure. It is a Water for Chocolate story for builders instead of cooks.
Petaluda (Greek for butterfly) is a two story property, set high up on the hill, under the historic village of Menetes, with panoramic views of the surrounding hills and azure Mediterranean Sea.
It has two double bedrooms – one with an en-suite, built-ins and two balconies, the second also with a balcony and built-ins – a family bathroom, downstairs toilet, generous lounge with wood burning fire (it gets cold in winter) and a kitchen-diner – although most meals are taken on the front terrace to enjoy the stunning surrounds.
The road to the property is traditionally unsealed yet solid, joining other back roads that take you to hidden gems in the countryside that most tourists would miss. If you’re a hiker this is the perfect place. And if you’re a writer, Hemmingway would have loved it! It’s an artist’s dream.
This is a home built in the Greek stone style which also has a terrace at the back which you can drive up to for unloading to the second level, plus another separate out-house with electricity and plumbing that makes for another sleeping space for those who want a more adventurous experience.
The photos in the slideshow speak for themselves. This would suit people choosing a second home in Greece in a quiet spot, away from the hustle and bustle where you can do amazing walks in the hills or to the sea – or simply drive to one of the many stunning beaches around the island and relax.
Choice is what this property offers, and more importantly beauty and total peace. It is a place with love in its walls and will be very dearly missed – not just by my family but the many friends who have stayed over the years.
Currently listed for 440,000 Euros and negotiable. If you are interested in finding out more, please send me a private message and I will set up a meeting.
ALSO PLEASE SHARE WITH ANY FRIENDS LOOKING TO BUY A SMALL PIECE OF PARADISE IN GREECE!
