luxury villa with pool for sale Cephalonia, Greece

Positioned within the landscape of southern Kefalonia, Aurelis is a contemporary coastal residence set on a 2,120 sqm (22,819 sq.ft.) plot with open views across the countryside towards the Ionian Sea. The property occupies an elevated position that allows it to remain connected to both the surrounding landscape and the distant coastline, while maintaining a strong sense of privacy within its setting. Extending across 400 sqm (4,305 sq.ft.), the villa is designed around light, orientation and a seamless relationship between interior and exterior spaces. The architecture follows a restrained contemporary language, combining clean lines, generous glazing and pale natural materials that respond softly to the changing conditions of the day. Large openings frame the surrounding landscape and draw natural light deep into the interior, while the elevated position encourages natural airflow throughout the warmer months. The principal living areas are arranged as a series of interconnected spaces that open directly onto the terraces beyond. Rather than separating the house from its surroundings, the architecture creates a continuous dialogue with the landscape, allowing views towards the sea to remain present throughout the main interior spaces. The design remains intentionally understated, relying on proportion, light and openness rather than decorative elements to define the atmosphere of the house. Five en-suite bedrooms are distributed to provide both privacy and a consistent connection to the exterior environment. Each suite benefits from natural light and carefully positioned views, while several open directly onto private terraces. The private accommodation follows the same calm architectural language as the rest of the residence, with a focus on simplicity, comfort and a close relationship with the landscape beyond. Outdoor living forms an integral part of the property. Broad terraces extend from the house and are organised around the infinity-edge pool, creating a sequence of open and sheltered spaces that follow the orientation of the site. The layout allows for movement between sun and shade throughout the day, while maintaining uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside towards the sea. Additional recreational facilities have been incorporated discreetly within the grounds, preserving the overall sense of openness and balance across the property. Despite its contemporary character, the villa sits comfortably within its environment. The architecture remains low within the landscape, allowing the surrounding terrain and distant views to retain visual prominence. The absence of nearby development within the principal sightlines reinforces the feeling of privacy, while the open setting creates a strong sense of space in every direction. The beaches, villages and waterfront destinations of Kefalonia remain easily accessible, yet the property retains a notable sense of separation from the island’s busier seasonal areas. The combination of scale, privacy and modern infrastructure makes Aurelis equally suited to private use or extended seasonal occupation. As the light softens across the hills in the late afternoon, the landscape gradually shifts in colour and texture, while the sea remains visible on the horizon beyond, anchoring the view from the property throughout the day.

Positioned directly along the coastline of Kefalonia within mature seaside gardens, this waterfront estate combines the openness of the Ionian landscape with the privacy and scale of a substantial coastal property. Tall pine trees frame uninterrupted views across the water toward the mountains beyond, while the estate’s direct relationship with the shoreline creates a quieter atmosphere rarely found so close to the island’s principal services and connections. The property extends across 4,412 sqm (47,490 sq.ft.) of landscaped grounds and comprises a principal residence together with a separate guest house, allowing the estate to accommodate both independent guest living and longer seasonal stays while preserving privacy between the two buildings. The architecture follows a restrained Mediterranean approach, with pale façades, broad terraces and large openings positioned to maximise natural light and the movement of sea air through the interiors during the warmer months. Inside the main residence, the principal living and dining spaces open directly onto the gardens and coastline through wide glazed doors, creating a natural transition between interior and exterior areas. Light flooring and neutral materials reflect the brightness of the surrounding landscape, while nearly every principal room maintains a visual connection either to the sea or the mature gardens surrounding the house. The interiors remain calm and understated, allowing the setting and changing coastal light to define much of the atmosphere within the property itself. The estate includes eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms distributed between the main residence and the guest accommodation. Several bedrooms open directly towards the coastline or gardens, while the separate guest house provides a more independent setting within the grounds for visitors or staff accommodation. Outdoors, the estate unfolds gradually toward the waterfront through level lawns, shaded terraces and stone pathways bordered by Mediterranean planting. Mature pine trees create natural shelter throughout the gardens and reinforce the sense of seclusion across the property, despite its accessible location. The swimming pool is positioned slightly elevated above the shoreline, oriented towards the open Ionian horizon and the mountainous landscape of Kefalonia’s interior beyond. The property maintains a strong connection to the sea through its immediate waterfront position and proximity to a nearby pier, while Argostoli and Kefalonia International Airport remain within comfortable driving distance. The balance between accessibility and privacy gives the estate a year-round practicality unusual for a waterfront property of this scale. As the afternoon light softens, the movement of the sea reflects subtly across the terraces and gardens below the house, while the pine trees along the shoreline filter the prevailing coastal breeze moving inland from the Ionian.

This elegant villa showcases exceptional craftsmanship, with stone arches, high ceilings, and marble floors throughout. Designed for luxury living and high-end events, it offers strong rental potential, especially as a wedding or private venue. Close to beautiful beaches, it features a heated swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, BBQ area, and shaded al fresco dining set within landscaped gardens. The home includes five bedrooms (four doubles with private balconies or terraces and one twin), multiple en-suites, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living areas, and secure parking for four cars.
