luxury houses with terrace for sale Chios, Greece

Homer’s Nest occupies a privileged waterfront position in Vrontados on the island of Chios, where a 2,000 sqm plot extends towards the sea and uninterrupted views follow the coastline and strait beyond. Originally built in 1890, the residence reflects the scale, proportions and craftsmanship of a traditional Chian mansion, carefully preserved through thoughtful updates that allow the property to function comfortably as a contemporary home while maintaining its historic character. Arranged across two levels, the house unfolds through a sequence of generous interior spaces defined by high ceilings, tall openings and a strong visual connection to the water. The upper floor contains the principal reception rooms, where original architectural details remain central to the atmosphere of the house. Large windows and French doors draw natural light deep into the interiors throughout the day and open onto a broad sea-facing veranda, reinforcing the relationship between the living spaces and the coastline immediately beyond. This level incorporates the main living and dining areas, kitchen facilities, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The architecture retains a sense of balance and restraint, with traditional proportions preserved throughout. From many of the principal rooms, views extend across the grounds towards the sea, while the elevated position captures the changing colours of the water and sky as the day progresses. The lower floor presents a more informal arrangement, with independent living spaces, a second kitchen, two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. Direct access to the surrounding grounds creates a natural transition between the interior and exterior areas of the property, allowing the lower level to function either as part of the main residence or as self-contained accommodation. Recent renovations within this section have introduced a lighter and more contemporary character while remaining consistent with the overall architectural identity of the house. The grounds contribute significantly to the sense of privacy and scale. The house is positioned comfortably within the plot, allowing the landscape to create a gradual transition between the residence and the waterfront. The setting feels notably secluded despite its proximity to local amenities, with the sea remaining a constant presence throughout the property. Mature planting and established outdoor areas soften the relationship between the built structure and its coastal surroundings, while the orientation ensures that the changing light across the water becomes an integral part of daily life. Located close to the waterfront of Vrontados, Homer’s Nest remains within easy reach of Chios Town, the island’s traditional villages and everyday services, while preserving a distinctly private atmosphere. The property also includes covered parking, storage facilities and potential for further development within the grounds. Homer’s Nest represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic waterfront residence where architecture, setting and orientation remain closely connected. As evening light settles across the strait, the house and its grounds turn quietly towards the sea, maintaining the same relationship with the coastline that has defined the property for more than a century.

Set within the historic landscape of Chios’ Kambos Valley, Villa Perivoli occupies more than 14,000 sqm (150,695 sq.ft.) of private grounds in one of the island’s most culturally significant settings. Positioned behind traditional stone walls on the north-western edge of Kambos, the estate forms part of a landscape shaped over centuries by aristocratic residences, cultivated gardens and a distinctive architectural tradition that remains unique within the Aegean. Approached through a long private drive, the property unfolds gradually within its mature surroundings, revealing a collection of historic stone buildings arranged around courtyards and terraces. Dating from the 15th century, the principal residence retains the architectural character for which Kambos is known, with thick masonry walls, vaulted ceilings, carved local stone and carefully proportioned openings designed to moderate light and temperature throughout the year. The result is a residence that feels deeply connected to its setting while remaining comfortable and functional for contemporary living. The main house extends across approximately 330 sqm (3,552 sq.ft.) over two levels. The interior spaces flow naturally from one room to another, creating an atmosphere that is intimate rather than formal. Traditional architectural elements remain central to the experience of the house, with curved ceilings, recessed openings and substantial stone walls providing both character and a sense of permanence. Natural light filters softly through the interiors, while views towards the surrounding grounds maintain a constant connection to the landscape beyond. The kitchen and dining areas continue the restrained architectural language of the residence, balancing historic character with everyday practicality. Throughout the house, the relationship between interior and exterior spaces remains particularly strong, with rooms opening naturally towards the courtyards and gardens during the warmer months. The upper level contains the private accommodation, where views extend across the estate and the wider Kambos landscape. A shaded veranda of approximately 25 sqm (269 sq.ft.) overlooks the grounds, while additional accommodation and workspace provide flexibility for extended stays or year-round residence. Complementing the main house, a separate stone-built residence of approximately 64 sqm (689 sq.ft.), dating from the 19th century, provides independent guest accommodation while maintaining privacy from the principal residence. The wider estate is defined by its scale and continuity rather than any single feature. Open areas, mature planting, stone-paved pathways and cultivated land combine to create a landscape that feels established and enduring. At the centre of the grounds, outdoor living spaces are integrated naturally into the estate, allowing the property to function comfortably throughout much of the year while preserving its historic character. The estate remains supported by an independent water supply and irrigation infrastructure that continues the agricultural tradition of Kambos. Throughout the seasons, the landscape changes subtly, reflecting the long-established cultivation cycles that have shaped this region for generations. Despite its secluded atmosphere, Villa Perivoli lies only five kilometres from Chios Town and within easy reach of the island’s coastline and medieval villages. The property combines historical authenticity, architectural integrity and a strong connection to the cultural landscape of Kambos, one of the most distinctive residential settings in Greece. Eligible for both the Greek Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Programme.
