Single family villa 323 m², Esperies, Corfu

Situated in the tranquil village of Antipernoi in North Corfu, this magnificent 18th-century manor house offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.

Renovated in 2001 with great care and respect for the old building, the manor encompasses approximately 323 sqm of living space, including an adjoining apartment of 80 sqm. Both the main house and the apartment can be enjoyed together as a single residence or used independently, offering versatile living arrangements. The property retains much of its original character, with Venetian architectural details that have been thoughtfully preserved while incorporating modern comforts and conveniences. Although not fully furnished, the house is offered with some carefully selected pieces that complement its historic charm.

The courtyard, featuring its original portal, dating back to around 1680–1690, still retains its old cobblestones, arranged in a distinctive clock-pattern design. The entrance to the ground floor is in the middle of the house, higher up. To the side, an arch arches over an idyllic seating area. It supports the loggia above, to which a stone staircase leads.

The main house features a grand hallway with a classic fireplace, a spacious dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a guest WC with shower. The kitchen has doors both to the wide veranda overlooking the garden and also steps leading to the second door opening into a small garden. Upstairs, there is a large master bedroom with two entrance doors (this could be converted into two separate bedrooms), the “Red Room”, which is possible to utilise as an office/ library room or even transform into a further bedroom, and the “Blue Salon”, while a large bathroom completes the floor.

The adjoining apartment, accessible via a separate entrance from a quiet side alley, includes two bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, and a kitchenette, making it ideal for guests or rental use.

Outside, the garden, which sits to the side of the house, is terraced across two levels, with lush lawns, ornamental plants, and shrubs. On the lower level, a quaint storage shed adds practicality. From here, steps descend to a lower area of land, left in its natural state, evoking the vineyards of Tuscany.

Preserving its Venetian charm, the manor is equipped with central heating and air conditioning, though rarely needed due to the house’s thick stone walls. Additional features include a storage room and parking for one car. The front façade faces the central village square, offering convenient access to a small restaurant (kafeneio), where you can buy the most essentials. Additional amenities are available within 1 to 6 kilometres.
