This $7.5 million Luxury Villa Is Built Into the Side of a Greek Mountain
On the Greek island of Antiparos, lies this $7.5 million dollar home that has been carved out of the side of a steep mountain. The circular villa, with a portion of it buried into the mountain, features breathtaking views of the surrounding Aegean Sea.
The partial underground home, known as Cronus, includes multi-million dollar amenities, such as an infinity pool that encircles the entire home similar to a moat except that it’s not to keep people out since the nearest property to the villa is over a kilometer away. Not desiring to disturb the natural environment, Cronus was built using organic elements like stone, bamboo, and exposed concrete to blend it into the surrounding natural environment.
The inspiration behind this property’s construction into the side of a mountain is quite unique but well known in the region. The famous lemon tree is where the property gained its inspiration, being that a lemon tree is often planted with surrounding circular walls to protect it, the same concept was used in the construction of the villa.
The villa’s circular roof is not only a beautiful architectural feature but is designed to provide shading for the each of the outdoor spaces. Additionally, the home was designed for an entertainer in mind with an outdoor home theater where live music parties or movie showings can be entertained.
The interior living spaces open out towards the Aegean sea with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that flood the rooms with natural sunlight. Bi-fold doors provides easy access and connects the inside lounge areas to the outdoor terraces.
The villa has a total of six bedrooms and nine bathrooms and sits on 9,500 square-meters of land. If you are newly minted millionaire looking for a modern isolated property in one of the safest countries in Europe with stunning views of the ocean and luxury amenities, a check for $7.5 million is all that you need to turn the keys to the front door of this stunning home.
