Charming estate in ZakynthosPlanos, Zakynthos, Ionian Islands

There is a single-family house of 203.80sqm along with three additional buildings. The grounds include a 54sqm ground-floor home, another ground-floor residence of 92sqm, and a 16sqm auxiliary space.

In the early 1990s, this property was designed and built by a well-known Zakynthian painter, who brought his artistic vision to life here. For years, it served as his personal retreat and as Crypti, a cultural and exhibition centre showcasing works by Greek and European artists.

With its distinctive artistic flair, the main house features two levels: a ground floor of 151sqm and a 52sqm upper floor. Every detail, from the colors on the walls to the textures of the finishes, reflects the natural beauty of Zakynthos, inspired by its olive trees, golden sunlight, and azure skies. The ground floor includes a spacious living room, an open kitchen-dining area, a master bedroom, two additional bedrooms (each with a charming wooden mezzanine perfect for a play area or reading nook), a bathroom, and a WC. Upstairs, the former painter's studio is a luminous space with access to a large veranda. Flexible for various uses, it can be transformed into additional bedrooms, a lounge, or even a guest suite thanks to its cozy wooden loft. The second building, once the exhibition space of Crypti, is a 56sqm structure with soaring ceilings, offering potential for further expansion. It could be converted into a loft-style home or an additional residence. The third building, a 92sqm earthquake-relief house built in 1953, offers renovation potential to align with the property's charm.

This estate's strategic location, just a stone's throw from the historic village of Machairado and its 14th-century landmarks, makes it equally appealing for a large family residence or conversion into a boutique hospitality retreat.
