Set on a hillside overlooking the Aegean on Kea, Elissa is a stone-built residence shaped by the island’s landscape and architectural traditions. The elevated position creates wide views across the surrounding countryside and towards the sea beyond, while the use of local materials allows the house to sit naturally within its setting. From throughout the property, the landscape unfolds in layers, with terraced slopes gradually giving way to the open horizon.
Extending across 254 sqm (2,734 sqft) on a 4,272 sqm (45,983 sqft) plot, the villa has been designed with a clear emphasis on simplicity, proportion and connection to its surroundings. Stone façades, shaded outdoor areas and restrained interiors reflect the character of Kea’s traditional architecture, while the overall layout encourages a natural flow between interior and exterior spaces throughout the warmer months.
The principal living areas are arranged in an open-plan configuration, creating a sense of continuity between the kitchen, dining and sitting areas. A palette of natural materials, soft tones and timber detailing contributes to an atmosphere that feels relaxed and unforced. Large openings frame the surrounding views and allow daylight to move gradually through the interiors across the course of the day, while the elevated position benefits from natural airflow during the summer season.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms arranged to balance privacy with direct access to the surrounding outdoor spaces. Several rooms open onto terraces overlooking the landscape and sea, while an independent guest studio with its own kitchen and bathroom provides additional flexibility for visitors or extended stays. Throughout the house, the emphasis remains on comfort, simplicity and an ongoing visual connection to the setting.
Outdoor spaces form an integral part of the property, unfolding across a series of terraces that follow the natural topography of the site. The 55 sqm infinity pool is positioned to take full advantage of the elevated outlook, reinforcing the visual connection between the property and the sea beyond. Shaded and open-air areas are distributed throughout the grounds, creating a variety of settings that respond to the changing light and conditions throughout the day.
Kea has long been appreciated for its more understated Cycladic character, combining traditional villages, walking trails and a varied coastline within easy reach of Athens. While peaceful and private, the property remains conveniently positioned for access to beaches, local amenities and the island’s harbour.
The architecture, scale and setting of Elissa create a residence that feels closely tied to the landscape around it. As the light softens across the hillside towards evening, the changing colours of the sea and surrounding terrain become a constant presence throughout the property.
