New built: affordable housing which does not impinge on the environment.

Following the successful sale of nine prototype houses near Arillas (three each at Katikia 1, Agrikia and Katikia 2), further developments are at a planning stage at Varee (Varee Houses with sea view - see separate listing), and at Analypisis (behind Pyrgi - walking distance to beach), Karousades (Parikia Houses with sea view - see separate listing), Evstavromenos (between Kastellani Messis, Viros and Agios Prokopios), Kalami (‘North East Coast Villas’ - see separate listing) and Apraos (very close to the sea with amazing view).

All for the first time provide foreign buyers with affordable housing which does not impinge on the environment. The houses are built in the form of a hamlet using traditional materials, and appear from the outside to have been constructed centuries ago. Depending on planning zone, they may or may not be somehow constructionally linked, while at the same time their positioning ensures the privacy of the owner.

Indoors, they are well planned, and give the impression of being much larger than their actual footprint size. Each house is slightly different in appearance and layout, so that there is no feeling of being on an estate of little identical concrete boxes. The traditional materials that are incorporated into the design include old Byzantine rooftiles, chemical-free limewash paint, and many fittings salvaged from old houses. In this way, buyers save on local resources, as well as helping to keep the price down. These properties are being developed and built by Petra Traditional Constructions and are exclusively for sale through Luvcorfu.

Price: from € 120.000,- (additional costs excluded)
