Single-family detached house 950 m², to be refurbished, Pareli, Corfu

For sale on a planted/wooded plot of 9,138 sq. m. in the heart of the Corfiot countryside is a rare Venetian-era complex with a total built area of 949 sq. m. The property is a unique example of a fortified farmhouse, consisting of two imposing wings connected by a traditional covered aerial bridge. Its architectural excellence is reflected in its monumental proportions and the outstanding craftsmanship of its roof, which is an example of constructional uniqueness. Exposed oak beams support a rare substrate of laid-and-mortared Venetian‑type bricks (30 x 12 x 3.5 cm), a technique that refers to Kappen vaulting. This design, beyond its high aesthetic quality and thermal and acoustic insulation, was historically intended to protect against rodents and to reduce the risk of fire. The interior impresses with a central hall 7 meters high and seven successive arched aisles, while the 65‑centimeter‑thick stone walls ensure solidity and timelessness. Features such as the historic “vardióla” (tower), the marble “értes” at the doorways, and the traditional recessed chimneys underline the building’s authentic character. The estate offers absolute privacy and tranquility, making it an ideal choice for creating a landmark mansion or an exclusive, high-end boutique hotel aimed at buyers who appreciate unquestionable historical value.
