Villa in Evgiros - Afteli Bay

On the unspoilt southern coast of Lefkada, Villa Rising Sun stands on 3,922 sq.m. of mature landscaped grounds, high enough for open views across the Ionian and close enough for the sea to be a short walk down through the property.

Built in 2010 in solid stone, the house offers 165.90 sq.m. of living space over two floors, above a full 111.55 sq.m. lower level given over to a garage and generous storage.

The ground floor (94.05 sq.m.) holds an open living room with fireplace, dining area and fitted kitchen, together with two bedrooms and a guest WC. It opens onto a 17.50 sq.m. covered outdoor room facing the pool — the heart of the house in summer.

The first floor (71.85 sq.m.) is given over to two further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom; the master has both a walk-in shower and a bathtub. A 14.50 sq.m. covered terrace takes in the best of the view — the place for morning coffee above the Ionian.

Four bedrooms in total, arranged so that each floor can live independently — an unusually practical layout for a family or for rental.

The lower level (111.55 sq.m.) is a genuine rarity on the island: an internal garage with vehicle ramp, two large storage rooms and a boiler and fuel room, all discreetly built into the slope.

This is a house built to last rather than to a budget. Walls are 50 cm of stone and brick throughout, with no plasterboard anywhere. Every window and terrace door is double-glazed aluminium, fitted with external aluminium sun blinds and insect screens.

An 8 x 4.5 m infinity pool with ozone water treatment sits at the centre of the terraces, shaded by pergolas — two of them fitted with roll-down screens, turning them into winter gardens usable well beyond the summer months. Behind the house, two further large pergola-covered areas serve as parking.

The technical specification gives the villa a rare degree of autonomy: a 10 kW photovoltaic system installed in 2023, producing around 15 MWh per year; 40 m³ of water storage, with a 20 m³ concrete tank beneath the main terrace and a further 20 m³ in external reservoirs, connected to the whole house; Daikin underfloor heating, air conditioning and ceiling fans in every room; and Maltezos solar hot water.

The villa is sold fully furnished with Indonesian furniture sourced in Bali. The gardens are fully grown — olive trees, oleanders and palms — with landscape lighting throughout. Access is via the estate's entrance road, with the option to build a separate private drive.

Private sea access. The property includes a share of a private seafront plot of 1,082 sq.m., with its own gated entrance, three separate timber decks for sunbeds, two ladders into the water and a private dock for boat mooring. An Indonesian hardwood gazebo of 4 x 5 m under pergola sits just above the shore, serviced with water, electricity and a WC — equally suited to storage or to a full day of outdoor living by the sea.

Ownership. The villa forms part of a small enclave of three stone villas set in 7,495 sq.m. of grounds. The property is registered with the cadastre and sold under Greek vertical ownership (κάθετη ιδιοκτησία): the buyer acquires a defined percentage share of both the main plot and the seafront plot, with exclusive use of the villa, its gardens, its pool and its own grounds. All surfaces are fully declared and legalised under Greek law, with engineer's certificates available.

Direct sea access, energy and water autonomy, and genuine stone construction — a combination that has become almost impossible to find on Lefkada. Equally suited to a private family residence or to a high-performing luxury rental, in one of the strongest rental micro-markets in the Ionian.

A second villa on the same estate is also available separately; the two can be acquired together on request.
