Full Description


A unique custom-built eco-friendly stone villa with uninterrupted panoramic sea views over Polis Chrysochous bay.

Constructed in 2006, situated 200m above sea level on a large 9129 sqm agricultural plot. NB - agricultural plots can no longer be used for residential homes, only small farm buildings.

Located in a private rural plot on the edge of Droushia village boundary, the property is only five minutes drive from Polis/Latchi. The owners initially used the property as a base for their cycling business Wheelie Cyprus, offering small group activity holidays with luxury accommodation. Switching to hotel accommodation, they have since been using the property for their cycle business together with their new yoga business, mainly yoga classes and workshops, but with a view to adding summer houses and/or yurts for yoga retreats. The property has Full Title Deeds.

The large plot size offers many options for adding yurt-style accommodation for bed and breakfast and/or for nature/yoga/activity retreats should prospective owners wish to do so.

Built with off-grid solar-powered electricity (battery power storage) and generator back-up for cloudy days in winter, the property offers 4/5 double bedrooms (one bedroom currently used as an office) and 4 bathrooms (3 ensuite, one shared between bedrooms 4 and 5/office). There is an open plan 50 square metre lounge/dining room/kitchen with a utility room set off the kitchen area with drop-ceiling insulation for cosy winter evenings in front of the log burner fireplace.

The property has oil-powered under-floor heating throughout; the boiler also provides heat for towel rails and, on cloudy days, hot water rather than using the immersion heater which drains battery power at night. Solar energy provides year-round electricity so energy bills are minimal. Average annual expenses amount to just €1000 for heating oil, diesel for the generator if required and wood for the wood burner. NB - the nearest electricity supply is now only 200m away just off the main road (in 2006 it was 5km away) so prospective owners may want to attach to the grid to use both solar power and on-grid electricity when required instead of running a generator for an hour or two on cloudy days.
