Horizon Grande is an expansive estate set in the hills above Kokkini Hani, with an elevated position that affords panoramic views across the Cretan Sea and surrounding landscape, while remaining within easy reach of Heraklion. Set within 11,457 sq.m. of landscaped grounds, the 440 sq.m. villa has been positioned to make the most of its setting. Wide views extend across the coastline towards Dia Island and Heraklion, while its outlook to the east, north and west brings changing light throughout the day and memorable sunsets over the sea. Contemporary architecture is softened by natural stone and warm timber detailing, creating a distinctive character that sits comfortably within its Cretan surroundings. Inside, exposed concrete ceilings, clean architectural lines and generous glazing give the interiors a modern, understated quality. The principal living spaces are open and light-filled, with a spacious kitchen, dining and sitting area opening directly onto the terraces and gardens. A fireplace provides a focal point within the living area, while large openings maintain a strong visual connection with the sea and landscape beyond. The villa offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including an independent two-bedroom suite, providing additional space for family or guests. Throughout, generous proportions and natural light are combined with an easy flow between the interiors and surrounding outdoor areas. Outdoor living is an integral part of Horizon Grande. Manicured lawns, mature planting and palms extend around the villa, complemented by broad terraces and several areas for dining, relaxing and entertaining. A substantial covered terrace looks across the pool towards the sea, while a separate outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, complete with a wood-fired oven, provides an inviting setting for long lunches and summer evenings. At the heart of the outdoor spaces is a 50 sq.m. heated swimming pool with counter-current swimming and hydromassage, surrounded by generous sun terraces and lawns. The scale of the grounds allows the different outdoor areas to feel distinct, from open garden spaces to shaded terraces overlooking the coastline. Horizon Grande is equally well equipped for leisure and year-round enjoyment, with an indoor gym, sauna and games area with billiards and table football. A garage, solar panels, air conditioning, alarm and security systems further complement the property. Infrastructure is also in place for the future creation of a cave-style wine cellar. Combining the scale of an 11,457 sq.m. estate with panoramic sea views, extensive leisure facilities and generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, Horizon Grande has a character all its own. Its elevated position, landscaped grounds and proximity to both the coast and Heraklion bring together space, views and contemporary Cretan living in a particularly impressive setting. This property is eligible for both the Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Program.

Castea is a distinctive stone-built castello set at the water’s edge in the village of Agios Nikolaos, on the Methana peninsula. With its crenellated parapets, round bastion, porthole windows and arched doors, the property has the character of a small seaside castle, shaped by its extraordinary relationship with the water. Whitewashed terraces descend towards a private gate opening directly onto the pebble shore and the clear waters of the Saronic Gulf. Olive groves and pine-covered slopes rise behind the property, while uninterrupted views extend across the gulf and its islands, with sailing boats regularly passing offshore. Seaside living with a character entirely its own, just steps from the water. Inside, whitewashed walls are combined with exposed natural rock and stonework, creating interiors with a strong sense of place. The living room centres around a traditional corner fireplace, with French doors opening directly onto the main sea-view terrace, while the bright, fully equipped kitchen also enjoys views towards the water. Castea has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main suite is particularly atmospheric, with a white-painted beamed ceiling, its own fireplace and an en-suite shower room. Twin arched French doors open onto a private terrace overlooking the sea, while a mezzanine loft, illuminated by distinctive porthole windows, provides an additional space for reading, relaxing or occasional sleeping. Outdoor living is an integral part of the property, centred around its terraces and waterfront setting. A series of whitewashed terraces, framed by stone parapets and with areas of shade, provide different settings for dining, relaxing and enjoying the changing light across the gulf. Steps lead down through the property towards the shoreline, where a shaded seating area sits just a few steps from the sea. Methana is a volcanic peninsula known for its thermal springs, walking trails, dramatic landscape and traditional fishing villages. Within easy reach of Athens and well positioned for exploring the islands of the Saronic Gulf, including Poros and Aegina, Castea combines an unusual architectural identity with the rare experience of living directly beside the sea.
