Villa in Sivota

Villa Vivier Estate – Renovated 4-bedroom villa with infinity pool and two permitted building plots above Sivota

Nestled just 100 meters above the charming village of Sivota, Villa Vivier is offered as a complete hillside estate: a fully renovated four-bedroom villa with infinity pool, together with two adjacent buildable plots located directly above it, both with valid construction permits in place. It is a rare combination on Lefkas island – some of the best views in the south, a five-minute walk from the restaurants, bars and marina of Sivota, and full control over the land that surrounds the home.

The villa

Cradled amongst mature greenery on the hillside, Villa Vivier enjoys complete privacy and uninterrupted views over one of Lefkas's most beautiful bays. Upon entering, you look straight down the bay and beyond to the open sea and surrounding islands, with the main living room opening directly onto a sheltered terrace above the infinity pool.

Extensively and sympathetically renovated with meticulous attention to detail, the villa blends traditional charm with contemporary elegance. The open-plan living room is defined by light and space, flowing into a classically designed kitchen and dining area that is both minimalistic and highly functional.

The villa comprises four double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The two master bedrooms offer breathtaking views of Sivota bay and open onto a spacious outdoor terrace. The remaining two bedrooms provide either direct access to the pool area or a quiet retreat.

An additional extra-large, partially subterranean room offers a naturally cool space ideal for a gym or cinema room, with cabling already installed.

Outdoor living

The external areas are truly exceptional. An inviting atrium shaded by a wooden-beamed pergola creates the perfect setting for al fresco lounging and dining. Impeccably landscaped mature gardens surround the property, providing tranquillity, privacy and shelter without compromising the views, while the infinity pool frames the sea beyond. Below the pool, a series of rustic terraces planted with olive trees marries the contemporary villa with the ancient landscape around it.

The land – two permitted building plots

Directly above the villa lie two adjacent buildable plots, each with a valid construction permit already granted (May 2022, Aravani Architecture and Design, Lefkada). This allows immediate development without the lengthy Greek permitting process – something increasingly hard to find on southern Lefkada, where buildable land with sea views is scarce.

The permits cover two contemporary two-storey villas with private pools, designed to follow the slope of the hillside and capture the same views over Sivota bay:

Villa A – approx. 180 m² over two levels, with a semi-underground section. Open-plan living and kitchen, five bedrooms including a first-floor master suite with private terrace, private pool.

Villa B – approx. 220 m² over two levels plus basement. Open-plan living and kitchen opening onto a large covered terrace and pool, four bedrooms upstairs including a master suite.

The new owner can choose to keep the land undeveloped, permanently protecting the villa's views and privacy, or build the two permitted villas for family use or rental income, creating a private compound of three houses overlooking the bay. Architectural plans are available on request.

Sivota

The village is a short five-minute walk away. Long a favourite of the yachting community, Sivota has become increasingly popular in recent years and now boasts an enviable selection of restaurants, shops and bars without losing its quiet charm. It offers perhaps the most secure anchorage and harbour on the island, and is the perfect base for exploring the nearby islands and beaches.
