Located in Plakakia, one of the most sought-after residential areas of Aegina, this charming stone cottage enjoys an exceptional position just 85 metres from the sea and only a very short drive from Aegina Town, offering a rare combination of tranquillity, privacy and easy access to the island’s shops, restaurants, cafés and port.

For decades, Plakakia has been synonymous with art, creativity and inspiration. Its unique coastal landscape and extraordinary light attracted some of Greece’s most celebrated artists and intellectuals, including Nikos Kazantzakis, Christos Kapralos and Yiannis Moralis, whose work remains inseparably connected to this remarkable corner of the island. Today, it continues to be regarded as one of Aegina’s most desirable places to live.

The property occupies a 301.74 sq.m. plot, while the existing stone residence measures 50.93 sq.m. It is an authentic old village home requiring complete renovation, presenting an excellent opportunity to restore and reimagine a property full of character according to modern needs and personal taste.

The current layout consists of three separate rooms traditionally used as a kitchen, living room and bedroom, complemented by an outdoor bathroom with shower and a separate storage room.

At the front of the house, the generous garden, enriched with mature trees, offers ample space to create inviting outdoor living and dining areas, landscaped gardens or a peaceful retreat just moments from the sea.

Properties in Plakakia are rarely available, making this an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive home in one of Aegina’s most treasured seaside neighbourhoods. Whether as a permanent residence, a holiday escape or a renovation project with long-term value, this property offers an enviable setting and remarkable potential.

An additional advantage of this property is that all legal and technical documentation has already been completed and is in order, allowing the transfer process to move forward smoothly. For buyers considering the renovation of an older village home, this represents a significant benefit, as properties of this age often require extensive preparatory work before a sale can be completed.
