On offer here is a chance to make a smart financial investment in this magnificent part of the world. The villa for sale is on the much sought after Greek Island of Skiathos, the Google co-ordinates for this property are 39.162466, 23.507107. This site is private and secluded with panoramic views over the Aegean Sea and nearby islands, there is no passing traffic, no air pollution and no noise pollution. Skiathos town and airport are roughly 15 to 20 minutes walk away, or some 4 minutes by car. The nearest beach is again about 15 minutes walk away, but there are so many beaches on Skiathos, some say, as many as 60, possibly more, we tend to go further afield. The site comprises 10391 square metres, and has secure fencing all around, it sits back from the Aegean Sea on high ground, by about 200 metres, there is no chance of flooding. Part of the 200 metres is our property, the rest down to the sea is defined as Public Forest, and cannot be built on, this Public Forest is not easily accessible by humans, just goats, we therefore have uninterrupted views over the sea and nearby islands. Our property cannot be accessed from the sea as the shoreline is jagged rock, which is good from a security point of view. The Villa, which faces South, was built in 2005 by a Skiathian Civil Engineer working to our specific design, combining simplicity with attractiveness, every room is spacious, providing comfortable and aesthetically pleasing living accommodation. There are two floors, the upper floor was created as the living area, it comprises a pergola for alfresco dining, virtually all year round, a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen, a study/office and a toilet. The lower floor provides the bedrooms and utility areas. The Villa is called Villa Pounta because it is on the Pounta peninsular, scarcely populated. Although the airport is not far away, and we see planes circle to line up with the runway, we are not in the flight path. Entrance to the Villa is through a secure 5 metre long sliding gate, operated manually. This gate could be automatic, as an electrical distribution box was installed for this purpose, when the gate was installed, on the outside of the two gate posts are infra-red sensors to provide light when it is dark. Next to this gate is a matching pedestrian gate, this gate has two locks, to make prising open virtually impossible, Inside the gates to the left, but hidden from view is a 5000 litre water tank, for watering plants in the upper garden area, this tank provides water to four different outlets. Also inside the gate is another infra-red sensor that provides lights along the drive on the way to the villa entrance.
