Kerasia Stone Cottages

Two charming stone houses, located in a prime position between San Stefanos and Kerasia.
Both properties are set within a 2,500 sqm plot of land, occupying an elevated position in the hillside on Corfu’s desirable northeast coastline.

Villa Selini and Villa Thalassa each have their own pool, kitchen and terraces, and both look out across the channel, to Corfu town and the coastline of Albania. They are being sold as one / together at €1,300,000.

They currently operate as a fully serviced holiday rental, earning more than €45,000 a season with near-full summer occupancy.

The houses sit on a gently sloping plot among mature olives and tall cypresses, between the bays of Kerasia and Agios Stefanos.
Stone paths link the terraces, and each house has its own entrance and approach, so the two can be lived in, or let, whilst retaining privacy.

Villa Selini

Selini is the main house, totalling 117 sqm in size. Built in stone in a traditional Corfiot style, the property was completed in 2012.
A private track leads down to the parking and a small, covered courtyard takes you to the entrance of the property.

Internally:
The living and dining room are one open space, with wooden beams, exposed stone walls and a fireplace giving the property great character.
The kitchen is fitted in a traditional style and has a separate utility room with a washing machine.
There are two bedrooms. The twin bedroom is reached through a dressing area and has its own shower room, and has doors opening to the entrance courtyard. At the opposite end of the house, there is a decent sized double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, which opens onto the terrace, looking out over the pool & sea beyond.

Externally:
Selini’s swimming pool has an infinity edge to maximise the sea views. There is a jacuzzi-style plunge pool alongside the main pool.
There is a shaded terrace with a built-in stone barbecue and an outdoor dining table, creating the perfect area to dine and relax whilst looking down on the cove. There is also a separate sun terrace below.

Villa Thalassa

Thalassa is an equally characterful stone cottage of 40 sqm, with its own garden. Accessed via its own stone-paved track and entered through an arched wooden door.

The interior is a thoughtfully laid out single room. Where there is a well-equipped kitchenette, with a wooden breakfast bar. The double bedroom has a walk in stone-walled shower room and lovely sea views.

Two small, shaded terraces are accessed from the kitchen, each with its own table and each with a different view of the coastline. Both overlook Thalassa’s L-shaped pool, which incorporates a glass-edge on one side to retain the views. A stone wall encloses the pool terrace for privacy, and a stone-built barbecue completes the outdoor space.

A prospective buyer, can continue running the properties as there are, sharing the lettings between the two houses, or they can take either house, or both, into private use.

Location

Kerasia Beach, a popular, white-pebbled beach and bay, with a small café and a taverna, is less than a kilometre away on foot. Agios Stefanos is a short drive away, but also walkable. Its harbour has tavernas along the waterfront and two well-stocked local supermarkets. There is a larger supermarket in Sinies, also very close by. Kassiopi, Kouloura and Kalami are all approxiamtely 8 minutes minutes by car. Corfu Town is roughly 33 km by road.

By boat, the sheltered bays of Kouloura, Kalami and Agni are easily reached, and all are classic north-east Corfu anchorages. Inland, the old mountain village of Perithia, empty since the 1960s and now a protected historic monument, has summer tavernas serving Corfiot dishes among its stone houses. The walking trails of Mount Pantokrator start nearby.
