A rare opportunity to rent a beautiful and unique contemporary architect designed home in the prestigious Glikadi area of Thassos (ten minutes drive from the town centre). The house has come on to the open market for the first time in 30 years.It stands in 9000 sq. metres of land in which there is an olive grove, fruit orchard and open gardens.

The house is situated on the foothills of the highest mountains of the island. From the wide open verandas which surround the entire property there is an uninterrupted sea view from the front of the house and mountain views from the rear.Due to it’s elevated position, the house provides a tranquil and secluded environment amongst the pine trees. Furthermore, it is only a five minute walk away from a number of sandy beaches.

The house itself, which has been built on 3m high pillars (providing a basement open area for car parking; games area; etc), centres on a striking hexagonal design. The large open-plan living area features floor-to-ceiling glazed sliding doors which open on to the wide open verandas. Alongside a recently fitted, dark wood kitchen with large central work station and black granite work surfaces there is space for several seating areas and a small contained “office” space in the main entry hall. The property has four double bedrooms (including one master bedroom with private dressing room); one main bathroom; one separate Wash Room/W.C. and a utility room. A striking feature of this house is the red marble flooring which features throughout the main ground floor living area.
