Residence, 445m², Skilounta (Ileia), 400.000 €

Skillounta – Krestena, a historic Villa is offered for sale. This fully restored 445 sq.m. neoclassical mansion was designed by the renowned architect Ernst Ziller and stands on a 7,250 sq.m. plot with lush vegetation and centuries-old trees. The villa was built between 1890 and 1891 and was fully restored, both internally and externally, between 2007 and 2009, with respect for its architectural and historical identity. It has been officially designated by the Greek Ministry of Culture as a Work of Art and a Listed Historic Monument and is considered one of the most distinctive mansions in the Peloponnese. The property was commissioned by Nikolaos Papalexis, Member of Parliament for Ilia and Vice President of the Hellenic Parliament during the premiership of Charilaos Trikoupis. In 1896, the villa hosted French statesman Georges Clemenceau, who later served as Prime Minister of France, during his tour of the region. The residence extends over three levels: basement, ground floor and first floor, and has three separate entrances. It comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, spacious reception areas, built-in wardrobes, storage rooms and auxiliary spaces. The exceptionally high ceilings, reaching up to 5.5 metres, together with the wooden window frames and original architectural features, highlight the imposing character of the building. The property features autonomous oil heating, a security door, an alarm system, verandas and one parking space. The grounds also include two separate storage buildings that require repair. The estate is enclosed by an old stone wall measuring more than three metres in height, providing privacy while preserving its distinctive character. The extensive garden, with its rich vegetation and variety of centuries-old trees, creates a rare and peaceful setting. The villa is situated on the eastern side of the town of Krestena, within the town planning zone, approximately 11 km from Ancient Olympia, 8 km from the beach and the thermal springs of Kaiafas, 107 km from Patras and 277 km from Athens.
