The Sky Villa – Ultimate Privacy in the Ionian with a Private Helipad

Perched dramatically on the crest of a hill, at the edge of a lush green gorge, The Sky Villa commands one of the most privileged vantage points in Lefkada. From its terraces, the gaze sweeps across the Ionian Sea to the golden sands of Pefkoulia Beach, while every evening the horizon ignites with the poetry of crimson and gold sunsets. Suspended between earth and sky, the villa becomes a private theatre of nature itself: soaring cliffs below, the glittering sea beyond, and paragliders gliding silently across the skyline right in front of its façade. This is not simply a residence; it is a Mediterranean icon of privacy, beauty, and elegance. Architecture & Living Spaces The villa unfolds over 500 m², carefully designed to merge architectural refinement with its natural surroundings. The upper floor (150 m²) is framed by deep two-meter eaves that soften the form and protect against the summer sun. Two expansive bedrooms with custom-made handcrafted beds and two indulgent bathrooms with double handmade bathtubs invite rest and rejuvenation. A luminous open-plan kitchen and dining space flows into a grand living room, anchored by a commanding double-sided fireplace whose warmth is shared between the lounge and the master suite. Wide terraces, oriented east and west, frame the first light of dawn and the last glow of sunset, blurring the boundaries between inside and out. Almost seamlessly attached to the main house, an 85 m² iron-and-glass greenhouse stands as an architectural jewel of light and transparency. Nearby, the estate’s crown jewel awaits: a covered swimming pool of approx. 100 m² (16 x 6 m), fully enclosed in glass, equipped with hydromassage, and designed for year-round use. Floating above the gorge with the Ionian stretched endlessly before it, the pool offers an experience of wellness suspended between sea and sky. The lower level is internally and externally connected and expands the villa’s versatility. A self-contained 75 m² apartment with living room, kitchen, office, bedroom, and bathroom ensures independence for guests or staff. This level is ideal for recreation, featuring a 100 m² gym engineered for performance, a steam room and sauna complex built to professional standards, and the potential for a fully functional home movie theater. Alternatively, it could accommodate additional living areas or primary-use spaces, tailored to the needs of its future owner. Every space faces outward, keeping constant visual and spatial contact with the gardens and the sea. The estate has been conceived as both sanctuary and fortress of comfort. Beneath the parking terrace, a 40 m² basement accommodates operational systems: water pumps with redundancy, a high-capacity backup generator, and freezer storage. Within the landscaped gardens, a 30 m² stone-built cellar, styled in the spirit of a traditional tavern, serves as a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining retreat, perfect for summer evenings under the stars. Floors throughout the villa are finished in iroko hardwood, a noble material valued for its strength, durability, and timeless beauty. Heating and cooling are provided by advanced underfloor and wall-mounted systems, integrated across villa and pool, powered sustainably by a modern heat pump and roof-mounted solar collectors. The property also offers provision for a dedicated projection space, adaptable as an indoor cinema or open-air screening venue, enhancing its lifestyle appeal for private leisure and cultural events. Estate Grounds & Setting The 7,000 m² estate is a mosaic of Mediterranean vegetation, fruit trees, and cultivated land, supported by an integrated irrigation system. The elevated position ensures constant air circulation, reducing humidity and maintaining a pleasant climate throughout the year. From every angle, the panorama is uninterrupted: mountains rising behind, the Ionian stretching before, the sun descending each evening into the sea, and paragliders drifting gracefully across the horizon. Location & Access Despite its sense of seclusion, the property is perfectly connected with the nearby villages within 3 min drive, 10 minutes drive from the iconic Pefkoulia and Kathisma beach, 10 minutes drive from Lefkada town and 30 minutes from Aktion International Airport For the most discerning owners, exclusivity is secured by the newly constructed private helipad, seamlessly integrated into the grounds. This rare feature is not just a convenience, but the ultimate symbol of privilege: direct helicopter flights from Athens, Mykonos, or international airports allow owners and guests to step from the sky directly into their private sanctuary. The helipad elevates the estate into a league of its own, making it one of the very few properties in the Ionian to offer this extraordinary advantage — a distinction that enhances both lifestyle and long-term investment value. Investment Perspective The villa is not only a home of rare beauty but also a strategic investment. Lefkada has emerged as one of the Mediterranean’s most desirable destinations, with international demand for exclusive villas far exceeding supply. Properties of this scale, specification, and vantage point — especially those with private helipad access — are virtually irreplaceable. The estate is equally suited for private enjoyment, high-yield seasonal rental, or development into a boutique retreat offering wellness, cultural, or experiential tourism. Its long-term capital value is secured by the scarcity of hillside estates with panoramic horizons and private helipad access. The Sky Villa is a Mediterranean masterpiece — where architecture and nature merge, where wellness and technology coexist, and where every day ends in the poetry of the Ionian sunset. With its private helipad, it stands as a sanctuary of beauty, a fortress of comfort, and an enduring investment in timeless exclusivity.
