Einfamilienvilla, neu, 236 m², Kostos, Paros

Luxury newly built villa, low energy consumption (A+) in Paros. This exceptional south-facing villa, located on the top of a hill with panoramic views of Mykonos, Naxos and Ios, is a certified passive house (A++) by an independent organization, opening new horizons in the construction of modern residences in Paros that respect the environment and significantly reduce energy consumption. The villa has been designed, constructed and fully equipped with the appropriate infrastructure to offer a comfortable and luxurious living experience through passive energy management, maintaining a stable indoor temperature all year round, regardless of weather conditions. Combined with its beautiful natural surroundings, large garden and unobstructed sea views towards Naxos and the surrounding islands, it represents an outstanding investment with a minimal energy footprint. Why a passive building stands out In a passive building, indoor thermal comfort is ensured exclusively through pre-heating or pre-cooling of fresh air. It simultaneously offers high energy efficiency, comfort and economy, while being environmentally friendly. Regardless of climate or location, a passive building maintains a pleasant and stable indoor temperature throughout the year with minimal energy demands. Heating is achieved passively, through the effective use of solar energy, internal heat sources and heat recovery, making conventional heating systems unnecessary even during the coldest winter days. During summer, passive cooling techniques are applied, such as proper shading and nighttime natural ventilation, keeping the interior cool and comfortable. Careful architectural design and the use of high-quality, advanced technological materials guarantee stable and pleasant indoor temperatures for the residents. In this specific residence, energy consumption for heating and cooling is reduced by up to 90% compared to conventional buildings, ensuring an A+ energy class and an estimated annual energy cost not exceeding €300 for year-round operation. Architectural Design Due to the natural slope of the plot, the villa is developed over two main levels with intermediate internal staircases, covering a total area of 234 sq.m., allowing abundant natural light in all main living spaces. The upper level, measuring 138 sq.m., features a spacious and welcoming living room with panoramic sea views, offering a unique sense of tranquility and privacy. The bright kitchen, slightly elevated from the main living area, is fully equipped and benefits from a large window. Two comfortable bedrooms, one of which is a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with two bathrooms with sea views, complete this level. The lower level, measuring 79 sq.m., includes two additional bedrooms, one of them a master bedroom, and two bathrooms, providing privacy and direct access to the impressive terrace leading to the large infinity swimming pool. On the same level, there is a spacious utility room housing the passive house management system. Amphitheatrical island living The outdoor areas, carefully designed to be protected from strong winds, are equally captivating. The villa is surrounded by 165 sq.m. of terraces and a private garden of 1,292 sq.m., which can be irrigated via a private borehole. A dominant external feature is the impressive 40 sq.m. infinity swimming pool, with a depth of 1.80 m, ideal for enjoying summer moments with family and friends, listening to your favorite music through the outdoor sound system or spending quality time in the barbecue area. These moments of serenity and relaxation are further enhanced by the breathtaking views, which become even more enchanting at night. The roof of the residence is accessible via an internal staircase and is ideal for sunbathing, offering unobstructed views of the endless blue sea and the surrounding islands, accompanied by the pure sound of silence.
