Koúkos is a truly magnificent stone property situated in a secluded location on the fabled North-East coast of Corfu. Sitting on a hilltop outside the hamlet of Santa, it is ideally situated above the harbour town of Kassiopi, whilst still benefiting from great privacy and seclusion, nestled amongst ancient olive trees. It is a most luxurious house with commanding and uninterrupted views of Albania and its dramatic mountains, down to the Ionian Sea, framed by a peaceful wooded valley.
This wonderful family house was designed and built by the current owners to cleverly combine elements of Corfiot and Provençal architecture, using traditional building techniques and materials, locally sourced, whilst still benefiting from all the necessary modern comforts and luxury finishes. The property has a rustic charm, its interiors are warm in colour, complementing the natural stone finish.
Beautifully arranged inside and out, Koúkos is the perfect home for a large family and their guests. There are seven stylish and comfortable double bedrooms, each with their own well-appointed bathroom. The seven bedrooms are light and spacious, spread across three separate buildings. A charming stone cottage and a studio bedroom directly adjoin the house, the configuration of which gives huge flexibility to the overall accommodation.
The double-height contemporary glazed entrance hall flows directly into the main large living area and modern kitchen with its traditional farmhouse feel and lovely natural stone floors. The large-framed French doors throughout, allow plenty of natural light, all leading out to the main terraces including a splendid and spacious covered external dining and BBQ area, with comfortable seating around the feature fireplace. Off this area, there is a little courtyard with a traditional stone Pizza Oven.
Surrounding Koúkos, the gardens are extensively landscaped, with some beautiful and established plants, which in turn, sit within the house’s own hillside olive grove. Throughout these glorious gardens there is a range of wonderful outside seating, lounging and dining areas, with ample space for large groups, but also with differing areas for guests to break away and find their own secluded spot.
Central to the outside space is a huge and dramatic infinity pool, which offers a large, shallow bathing platform. There is a full pool bar area with seating that makes a fabulous additional entertaining space by day or night.
The property generates strong rental income, with many repeat clients. In early summer 2023 Koúkos was used as the location for the filming of itv’s 8-part reality TV series, Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream! Screened in the UK during October/November/December 2023.
This spectacular house was built to a very high standard and was designed to the last detail to provide a sophisticated, yet relaxing family environment set against the most impressive backdrop and view. There are very few houses of this scale and quality in Corfu, giving someone a rare opportunity to own one of the finest inland properties in Corfu.
