An attractive and cleverly designed individual property in a fantastic position in the rural area of Raches, only about 5 kms from the main town of Skopelos making this an ideal holiday villa with private pool.
Tastefully decorated and furnished this extremely comfortable house was only completed some two years ago.
Situated on the side of a hill, it faces south east and looks out over open countryside to Skopelos town and harbour with the island of Alonissos on the horizon.
Surrounded by almond and olive groves this is a very private and secluded property and has an excellent oval swimming pool of 10 x 5.5 metres.
Accommodation Details
From the front terrace there is a separate guest house to one side of the property which has a very nice kitchen area with marble sink and delightful units, spotlights leading to a living area with double doors to the front terrace and a very nice shower room.
In the living area there is a sofa bed and futon for extra sleeping accommodation.
A spiral staircase leads up to a twin bedroom with two windows and lovely views to the sea.
A rear terrace leads to the main house and into a spacious open plan living dining room. There is double bed on a raised platform, comfortable furniture, stereo and CD player and ceiling fan. Double doors open on to the front terrace and there is an arch through to a very large well equipped kitchen with extremely good equipment and utensils.
A cloakroom at the rear of the kitchen and laundry area with washing machine. Access from all rooms to the terraces, plenty of windows and doors give a very light, spacious and airy feel to this property.
Staircase from the kitchen leads to the double bedded master bedroom on the first floor with ensuite full bathroom, ceiling fan and doors on to an upper terrace with stone surround and seating areas. Fantastic views to the island of Alonissos in the distance.
This is a really lovely home which would be ideal for a family with older children, two couples or a small group of friends, particularly making use of the extra sleeping facilities.
