A Private Mediterranean Estate Overlooking the Messinian Gulf
Velika, Messinia | €2,900,000
Set on an elevated position above the coast in Velika, Messinia, this substantial private estate combines generous proportions, beautifully established gardens and exceptional flexibility, with open views across the Messinian landscape towards the sea.
Just 1 km from the beach, the property extends to approximately 450 sq.m. of built space within landscaped grounds of around 4,050 sq.m. It was completed in 2013 and is offered fully furnished.
At the heart of the estate is the principal residence, occupying the upper floor and extending to approximately 150 sq.m. Its spacious living areas open onto large terraces that take full advantage of the elevated setting and views towards the Messinian Gulf. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, including the master bedroom, two bathrooms, a generous kitchen and living area, with a Jacuzzi-style bath adding to the principal suite.
The entrance level has been designed as two completely independent residences of approximately 70 sq.m. each, both with their own private entrance. Each offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan kitchen and living room with fireplace. One has been finished in a softer, country-inspired style, while the other follows a more classic contemporary design. Together, they provide ideal accommodation for extended family or guests while retaining complete independence from the main residence.
The lower level makes particularly intelligent use of the natural slope of the land. Although forming the lower floor of the building, it has direct ground-level access from the rear, including vehicle access to the internal garage together with the laundry, storage and auxiliary spaces. Here are a further two self-contained guest studios, each with its own kitchen and shower room/WC. A lift connects the levels of the property.
This unusual configuration gives the estate a quality increasingly sought after in larger Mediterranean homes: the ability to accommodate several generations, friends or guests independently, without compromising the privacy of the principal residence.
Outside, the scale of the property becomes particularly apparent. Extensive lawns, mature trees, flowering gardens and 18 established palm trees create a private Mediterranean setting, complemented by carefully considered exterior lighting. Traditional hand-worked local stone has been used extensively throughout the property and along its substantial boundary walls, giving the estate a strong connection to the architectural character of the region.
A new swimming pool is scheduled to be added, with completion anticipated within approximately six to eight months, further enhancing the outdoor living and entertaining areas.
Additional features include quality fitted kitchens, Spanish floor tiles, electric shutters, external sun awnings, air conditioning, autonomous heating, solar water heating, automatic irrigation, an underground water reservoir and private parking. Extensive hard-landscaped areas finished in durable industrial-grade flooring provide generous circulation and parking space, reflecting the level of investment made throughout the estate.
The location adds another dimension to the property. Velika combines a quieter, authentic part of coastal Messinia with easy access to the sea, while the estate is also close to Navarino Blue, Costa Navarino's planned destination on the Gulf of Messinia. Costa Navarino describes Navarino Blue as its fourth location, with a one-kilometre sandy beachfront and plans for several themed resorts and leisure facilities
A rare property in terms of both scale and versatility, this is an estate suited to a substantial family residence, multi-generational living or sophisticated guest accommodation, with the additional potential for hospitality use subject to the appropriate permissions.
