Set in a peaceful and privileged position above Pessada, in the highly desirable area of Leivathos, this elegant contemporary villa offers a refined interpretation of modern island living, combining privacy, generous outdoor spaces and a strong connection with the surrounding Kefalonian landscape.
Occupying a private estate of 4,011 sq.m., the property is surrounded by mature olive and fruit trees, creating a naturally secluded setting of exceptional tranquillity. From its elevated position, the villa enjoys open views across the countryside towards the slopes of Mount Ainos and the historic Castle of Saint George.
Built in 2021, the residence extends to approximately 142 sq.m. and has been thoughtfully designed to create a seamless dialogue between the interiors and the extensive outdoor living areas. Clean architectural lines, abundant natural light and carefully considered proportions define the property throughout.
A generous terrace wraps around the villa, providing a series of inviting spaces for relaxation, dining and entertaining at different times of the day. Expansive sliding glass doors connect the principal living areas directly with the terraces, garden and swimming pool, allowing the interior and exterior spaces to flow effortlessly into one another.
Inside, the atmosphere is understated and elegant, characterised by natural tones, contemporary finishes and a calm, sophisticated aesthetic.
The fully renovated kitchen, upgraded in 2025, forms a central feature of the home. Modern and highly functional, it has been designed to connect naturally with both the living area and the outdoor dining terrace, creating a welcoming environment for everyday living and entertaining.
The ground floor accommodates two bright and well-proportioned bedrooms, each opening directly onto its own private terrace. These rooms are served by a spacious bathroom featuring a large two-person bathtub, a separate walk-in shower and a dedicated laundry area. One of the bedrooms may also be adapted as a comfortable home office or study.
The upper level is entirely dedicated to the principal suite, offering a greater sense of privacy and exclusivity. The suite features a private bathroom, bespoke full-height wardrobes and an impressive private terrace of approximately 60 sq.m. Generous enough to accommodate a lounge area, sunbeds or a private fitness space, the terrace creates an exceptional retreat overlooking the surrounding landscape.
The property is equipped with full double glazing, air conditioning throughout and a solar hot-water system, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year.
The swimming pool occupies one of the most attractive areas of the estate. With its south-west orientation, it enjoys open views across the surrounding countryside towards the Castle of Saint George, creating an ideal setting for long summer afternoons and evening relaxation.
The landscaped grounds are equally impressive, with approximately 30 mature olive trees and 20 fruit trees, complemented by a complete irrigation system and a separate water tank. Illuminated pathways, expansive terraces and carefully positioned seating areas create a series of intimate outdoor environments throughout the estate.
Beneath the shade of a mature olive tree, a dedicated barbecue and outdoor dining area provides a particularly atmospheric setting for al fresco meals and gatherings with family and friends.
A defining feature of the property is its sense of privacy. Access is via an approximately 100-metre private road, leading directly from the main road towards Argostoli and enhancing the feeling of seclusion on arrival.
Despite its tranquil setting, the villa remains exceptionally well connected. Argostoli and Kefalonia International Airport are approximately 10 minutes away, while Pessada Beach can be reached in around 5 minutes by car or approximately 15 minutes on foot.
Offering a rare combination of contemporary architecture, mature Mediterranean grounds, extensive outdoor living spaces and exceptional privacy, this beautifully presented villa represents an outstanding opportunity in the Kefalonia property market.
Equally suited as a sophisticated permanent residence or an exclusive island retreat, it offers a refined lifestyle in one of southern Kefalonia’s most attractive and convenient locations.
