| DESCRIPTION |
| A rare opportunity to acquire a stone villa, at a stage nearing completion, in a prime location on the ridge above the beautiful and now notorious coves of Kalami and Kouloura. Those that know Corfu's desirable northeast coast will appreciate how specatuclar this location is when we describe the clear sea views over the White House Taverna to the right and the tiny fishing harbour and 15th century venetian fort of Kouloura to ones left - see photographs. It is an idyllic spot overlooking olive groves, a sprinkling of beautiful villas scattered across the hillside, crystal blue waters and super yachts below, Corfu Town and the coastline and mountain tops of mainland Greece and Albanian. Villa Orlaya has a modest price tag because it is being sold in an incomplete condition presenting the perfect opportunity to select fixtures, fittings and furnishings to ones own taste and budget, creating a dream holiday villa or permanant home just around the corner from the Rothschild's Estate. Perched above the municipal road on approach to the hamlet of Tsanganatika, this 110 square metre property has been designed to offer a spacious layout comprising, at ground floor level, an open plan kitchen/diner/lounge, a bedroom/study plus rear storage area to accommodate the central heating and air conditioning systems, as well as a pantry and/or WC. At first floor level there are two further bedrooms, both double with en-suite bathrooms. All rooms in the house have uninterrupted sea view verandahs and balconies. The plot size is circa. 700 square metres. Documentation includes a certified topography, planning consent and a permit for a swimming pool, which has been ear-marked for a south facing spot to the right of the villa around which stone paving, pergolas and entertainment terraces can be arranged.
This was Laurence Durell's territory. Author of Prospero's cell he resided at the White House in Kalami during the 1930s, now a popular taverna serving fresh fish and Corfiot dishes. It is now desirable rental territory. 2/3 bedroom properties with stunning sea views such as Villa Orlaya have become increasingly popular in recent years due the reducing size of family units. Villa investors have not only secured excellent returns via professional villa rental companies such as CV Travel, Meon, Vintage and James Villas, but have also enjoyed success with web based rental brokers such as www.ownersdirect.co.uk
This partially built Villa is owned by an English couple, who due to personal reasons, have found it necessary to abandon their dream and go back to the UK, hence the property requires finishing off. If you would like to discuss what would be involved in completing the villa please do not hesitate to contact this office. Please also read the section on this website called 'Our Services' which also outlines how we can help you.

| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
The property is destined to be link attached, meaning it will be connected via a small link arch to a single storey property adjacent. If it were a stand alone property in this location its price tag would be substantially higher. Privacy can be created via a division in the landscaping scheme. The position of the pool is for the opposite side of the property to the link. The villa has been constructed to comply with anti-seismic regulations, meaning that its main frame structure is concrete and iron rods tied. This is a requirement for all newly constructed properties. The walls are of brick fully insulated. In addition an outer layer of beautiful pale natural cut stone has been overlaid to 2/3rds of the villa. The owner has given an undertaking to finish the stonework, install windows and a front door at his expense using the same craftsmen, before a sale is concluded. The roof tiles have been laid and internal wall plastering has been completed (Not the smooth finish). The engineer/architect is available to guide the new owner on the details of the finished design and the builder is aware of the position and has given his undertaking to complete the build to a new owner's specification and cost.
The name of the villa derives from the wild red flowering plant Orlaya Grandiflora that blossoms across parts of the hillside in June and July. The landscape in this area is breath-taking and the countryside and wild life a joy to explore.
Drive distances to: Corfu Town - 35 minutes, Airport - 40 minutes, Ferry port - 30 minutes, Gouvia Marina 25 minutes, Resorts: Kalami & Kouloura 5 minutes drive.
