Property Of The Week: Mykonos Mega-Villa ‘Villa Lithos’ Listed

Sofia Bithara, the retail-to-real estate businesswoman and co-Founder of Greek women’s fashion chain BSB, has launched her first ultra-prime residential development on the island of Mykonos known as Villa Lithos, a 14,445 square feet, 10 bedroom villa with ocean view living spaces opening onto exterior terraces. It is complete with cinema room projection, gym, infinity edge swimming pool and staff accommodation set in 1.3 acres of landscaped grounds: for sale or rent via Beauchamp Estates (Mykonos).

Villa Lithos is arguably the finest newly-built private residence to come to the market this year on the island. Situated in the Lino area of Mykonos, in a prime sea view location, Villa Lithos is orientated to take maximum advantage of the stunning views, out across the Aegean Sea towards Paros and Anti-Paros. Award winning Greek architect Tasis Zeppos of Zege Architects designed the villa, with interiors by Silvina Krontiras of SMK Interiors and landscape architectural practice Greenways for the grounds and planting.

Spanning three levels, Villa Lithos, offers an exceptional reimagining of contemporary Mykonian style, with white render facades with large windows and folding glass walls to the main villa, stone finish to the guest suites and pool wing.

Approached through gated driveway, the main entrance has a contemporary water feature, the entrance lobby opening onto a grand foyer. The principal reception and dining area has sliding glass doors that open onto the main terrace. Curtains can be closed and a large format flat screen television brought into position at the touch of a button to transform the reception space into a home cinema.

The second reception and dining area has a beamed ceiling with herringbone pattern inlay and spot lighting, a built-in bar, fourteen-seat dining table, custom cabinetry and sideboard with oak veneers and large relaxed seating area facing the terrace and pool.

Off the entrance lobby is the staircase leading to the first floor and principal bedroom suite, which occupies the entire floor. Facing the sea, offering stunning views through full height glazed doors, the principal suite includes a King sized bed, lounge area, custom wardrobes, luxury bathroom with picture window and private terrace with pergola, dining area and loungers.

Accessed via an internal hall on the ground floor is the principal guest bedroom suite which includes the bedroom, seating area and custom design wardrobe, with a large ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and double vanity. The suite opens onto a large private terrace, with loungers and sofa, directly facing the sea, with access to the main terrace.

The lower ground floor provides seven further guest bedroom suites and a garden suite, all have private terraces and views to the sea or garden and benefit from custom built wardrobes and furnishings from Greece’s leading interior design store, Interni. The ensuite bathrooms have brass wear and fixtures from Moda Bagno, the leading bathroom design company in Greece.

The villa specification includes automated systems for climate control, lighting and all mechanical systems, with an ‘inverter’ energy system which powers the heating of the swimming pool. The villa’s back-of-house facilities for staff are located on the principal ground floor and include service entrance, service galley, staff room, store and stainless steel chef’s kitchen, all designed to enable staff to service the villa without disturbing guests.

The grounds of Villa Lithos have been designed to create a setting that complements the design and layout of the villa. The planting has been selected for the climate and to minimise watering and maintenance requirements and provides a landscape that feels natural and relaxed.

Villa Lithos is located close to two of Mykonos’ best beaches, Agia Anna and Paraga, and a short walk from the famed Scorpios club. Mykonos town is a short drive away.

Villa Lithos is for sale with an asking price of €25,000,000 (fully furnished, excluding artwork) (£21,110,000 British Pounds / $27,710,000 US dollars) and also available for rent from €125,000 per week (£105,560 British Pounds per week / $138,532 US dollars per week).
