A. F. H.
Off-plan A-frame House project
An exclusive off-plan house with 4,300 sq. m of land for sale
(or just the licensed land)
The project
The 180-square-meters boasts a large, high ceiling living room with a large opening to a private garden, open space kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms: one on each floor. (In addition, the house has a permit for an optional third bedroom in the attic.)
The main ground floor is seamlessly accessible from the garden, as it sits on the same level. The house features an open-face design, with a fully glazed front façade that creates a harmonious connection between the living room and nature.
A swimming pool could potentially be added in front of the house.
The ground floor measures 10 by 8 meters, with beams ranging in height from 80 centimeters to 8 meters.
A staircase connects the main living area—which includes the living room, kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom—to the first floor. The first floor occupies two-thirds of the house (at the appropriate height) and includes an additional bedroom and bathroom.
Both bedrooms feature a balcony, a wardrobe, and direct access to a bathroom. The kitchen is an open space with access to the back garden, offering all necessary facilities and a dining table.
– A different reality is simple and achievable –
– A house matched for humans –

The development of a unique, private, house that preserves history in a dream location…
Location
The house is centrally located on a 4,300-square-meter plot, which is home to 25 centuries-old olive trees (known as centurial), as well as fruit trees, flowers, and ornamental plants. The property is surrounded by natural greenery and features landscaped levels with short stone fences and stairs. It offers direct access to a small street that leads to the beach and the main road.
The location is adjacent to a small road leading to the ‘Myrtidiotissa’ Monastery and is just 500 meters from the main road. A scenic walking path winds through the olive grove, connecting the property to the villages of ‘Vatos’ and ‘Kenya,’ approximately 600 meters away.
The breathtaking ‘Mirtiotisa’ beach is only a 400-meter walk from the property
Construction & materials
Experiences are life...
Abiding by the regulations and laws of Greece, the plan has passed the approval of ‘Static and Energy Study’ (typical requirement of the Greek permit system) and is 100% legal. The main structure is to be built with an underground concrete foundation, strong flame-retardant wood, energy-efficient insulation, and a double-glazed glass front.
All the interior materials and will be selected based on quality and aesthetics.
Construction timeframe is two years.
Extras
> Optionally, in front of the house, a swimming pool with an approximate dimension of 4 by 8 meters will be placed to enrich the simplicity with a luxury approach.
> At the back left side of the building, there willbe a separate, spacious and fully autonomous auxiliary warehouse space for purposes such as the boiler, laundry room, gardening tools, and storage in general, that will be easily accessible and helpful but without obstructing the layout of the main construction.
In combination with the uniqueness of the A-frame house concept, a fully equipped vintage caravan setup has already been discreetly placed on the piece of land.
A-shaped buildings have been well-known since antiquity in Europe and were simple constructions for utilitarian purposes in the province.
[ Walter Reemelin, John Campbell, George Rockrise, Henrik Bull, and Andrew Geller laid the groundwork in the early 1950s by designing such houses. Andrew Geller was one of the first to turn the old idea of the A-shape that fishermen’s huts had, into a new fashion in 1955 when he built such a house on the beach in Long Island, known as Elizabeth Reese House ]
The so-called huts in Corfu, where almost every family of peasants had a simple similar construction made out of wood, a place of rest, storage for tools, lunch, etc. as they spent almost their entire day with the family in the field.
The hut provided only the basics, such as rudimentary safety and privacy. The constructions varied, the earliest being similar to that of the A shape. The reasons were simplicity, convenience, and availability of materials.
The plethora of small cypress trees in most parts of the island, along with the bamboo and Peppertrees, contributed to the existence of these three materials to constitute the basic components of the building, or hut, in A shape.
Later on, easier access to more scarce and sophisticated materials such as stone, sheet metal, tile, and cement made these structures more complex and more permanent; thus, in the present day in most cases those that have managed to remain through time have begun to expand, to be converted into full country houses and in accordance to regulations.
Concluding, it becomes obvious that such an architectural aesthetic, despite its modern appearance, respects local heritage and it rightfully adapts without offending tradition.

Permit and paperwork
The main difficulties in the implementation and construction of real estate in Greece are the permits, processes and paperwork.
Permits take a lot of time to be issued, and money, and bureaucracy sometimes lead to projects seem impossible and overwhelming.
On the positive side, the piece of land and the construction plan in general has all the permits, and the required paperwork has already been done!
By having all licenses sorted the land/project provides urban planning, forest service and archaeology permits, as well as electricity since it is already connected to the main electricity network with electrical installation, and a meter. The water is also connected to the supply network and it waters the plants daily. 🙂

Update:
Beyond the planned project, which costs approximately 700,000 euros, there is now an opportunity to purchase only the plot with a permit for 230,000 euros."
