Unique opportunity to acquire 34 hectare seaside estate, with historical buildings and private church, in Corfu, Greece. This property for sale in Corfu is located approximately 17 kilometres from the international airport, between the resorts of Benitses and Moraitika. The estate, known as St. John of the Doves, is the last great estate remaining in Corfu. This unique property for sale in Corfu features a historical dwelling first erected in 1203. The property began as a fortress, then became a monastery, and then converted to a private residence. The main house, which includes the original medieval tower and a traditional olive press, showcases the sea from every front and side facing window, as well as from the pergola-covered terrace. Next to the main house is the private church of Agios Ioannis Peristeron (St John of the Doves) complete with church bells, stained glass windows, and frescoes. The buildings are set near a free-flowing spring, which remains cool and fresh even in the height of summer. The grounds immediately surrounding the house and church include terraces with fruit trees and a flower garden. The remainder of the vast property for sale in Corfu features a beach, and rolling hills with thousands of olive trees and cypress trees. A private road stretches from the beach to the buildings and gardens. The estate faces east, and includes natural forest buffers on either side. The land has considerable potential for private or commercial development. |
