Single family villa Κύθηρα, Kasimatianika, Kythira

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Kalokairines in southwestern Kythira, this traditional two-storey mansion offers a genuine piece of the island’s architectural heritage. The property sits on a quiet village square, accessed through an authentic stone archway that immediately transports you to another era. The house retains its original character with four kamares on the ground floor, spaces that once served as stables and utility rooms where wine was made and village life unfolded. While these rooms currently receive limited natural light, there’s excellent potential to introduce windows and transform them into bright, livable spaces that honor their historic bones while embracing contemporary comfort. A striking stone staircase leads to the first floor, where approximately 86 square meters of main living space awaits, along with a lovely terrace perfect for taking in the village atmosphere and even catching a glimpse of the sea in the distance. Behind the kamares sits an old ruin and courtyard area of roughly 80 square meters, accessible either through the ground floor rooms or via a second public stone archway that passes beneath the first floor. This outdoor space is particularly notable, as most traditional village mansions in Kythira have limited or no exterior areas. With some thoughtful work, this could become a beautiful private walled garden or courtyard, adding a dimension of outdoor living that’s genuinely hard to find in these historic village properties. The structure itself is sound, though the property does require complete renovation, offering the freedom to reimagine the interiors while preserving the mansion’s undeniable charm and historical integrity. This is a project for someone who appreciates authenticity and can envision the beautiful home hidden within these traditional walls. With thoughtful restoration, this Kythirian mansion could become a stunning private residence that honors the island’s past while creating something truly special for the future.
