Traditional Property with Buildings in North Corfu

Description

Set in the authentic surroundings of Agrafoi, a traditional village in North Corfu, this distinctive property combines character, privacy and generous land with an unusual collection of independent buildings. Positioned on a gently elevated site with a south-eastern orientation and an open, amphitheatrical outlook over the surrounding landscape, it offers a rare opportunity to create a private Corfiot retreat with a strong sense of place.
The property comprises 310.79 sq.m. within the settlement and an additional 1,986.51 sq.m. outside the settlement, creating a total land area of approximately 2,297 sq.m. Across the estate are 4 independent buildings with a combined built area of approximately 170 sq.m., offering flexibility for different uses and configurations.
The main residence of 100 sq.m. includes a kitchen, bathroom, living room that could also function as an additional bedroom or flexible living space, 1 bedroom, a small hallway and a covered entrance. A separate 30 sq.m. studio provides an open-plan living area, kitchenette, bathroom and balcony. The ground-floor 27 sq.m. building includes a bathroom, room and combined kitchen and entrance area.
One of the property’s most distinctive features is its 13 sq.m. circular building, designed in the form of a traditional tower. Complete with a fireplace and an external staircase leading to the roof terrace, this unusual structure adds architectural character and could become a particularly atmospheric private or guest space, subject to any required approvals.
The buildings retain authentic elements of traditional Corfiot architecture, including wooden window frames, timber details and metalwork. Outside, the property unfolds across several levels, with stone landscaping features and a traditional stone oven adding to its rural character and sense of history.
The approximately 1,986.51 sq.m. area outside the settlement is sloping and planted with around 10 olive trees, together with walnut, almond, lemon, fig, mulberry and other fruit trees. The area is understood to have a rich groundwater presence, offering the possibility of a well or borehole, subject to the necessary technical investigations and permits.
The residences currently use electric radiators and a fan heater for heating, while fans are available for cooling. The existing spaces offer scope for upgrading, refurbishment and reconfiguration, allowing a future owner to adapt the property to their needs, subject to the applicable planning requirements and approvals.
Despite its peaceful village setting, the property remains within practical reach of North Corfu’s coastal destinations. Sidari is approximately 8.5 km away, Roda 8 km, Acharavi 8.5 km and Corfu International Airport approximately 34 km away. The surrounding area combines the traditional character of inland North Corfu with convenient access to the island’s northern coastline and its established seaside communities.
With 4 independent buildings, a distinctive traditional tower, approximately 2,297 sq.m. of total land and authentic Corfiot architectural elements, this property presents an opportunity to create a characterful holiday residence, a private family retreat or a collection of independent accommodation spaces. Its combination of existing structures, mature planting and traditional features makes it particularly suited to buyers looking for a property with individuality and the potential for thoughtful enhancement in one of North Corfu’s traditional village settings.
