Positioned above the Evian Gulf on the outskirts of Halkida, this sculptural residence approaches the landscape with a strong architectural confidence rarely found in the area. Angular volumes in oxidised terracotta tones rise from nearly 2,900 square metres of private grounds, their sharp geometry softened by olive trees, open lawns and the changing light coming off the water below. From the upper levels, the view stretches across the gulf toward the mountains of mainland Greece, while the house itself remains largely hidden from the surrounding road behind a long private approach.
Designed across multiple levels connected by both staircase and elevator, the residence balances scale with clarity. Extensive glazing frames the sea from nearly every principal room, while broad terraces wrap around the structure to create a continuous dialogue between interior and exterior spaces. The architecture feels deliberate and restrained: polished concrete floors, pale walls and natural wood details allow the proportions and light to define the atmosphere rather than decorative elements.
The main living areas occupy the central level of the house, where floor-to-ceiling openings dissolve into large terraces overlooking the gulf. A long linear sitting area anchors the principal reception room, positioned to face both the landscape and the evening light arriving across the water. Adjacent dining and kitchen spaces continue the same visual language, with oak cabinetry, oversized work surfaces and carefully framed openings turning ordinary daily routines toward the sea. Throughout the house, the sense of volume is amplified by clean sightlines, double-height spaces and carefully controlled natural light.
Seven bedrooms are distributed across the residence with an emphasis on privacy and independence, allowing the property to function equally well as a permanent family home or a substantial coastal retreat for guests. The principal suites open onto private terraces, while secondary bedrooms maintain the same restrained aesthetic of soft neutral materials, natural light and uninterrupted outlooks. Bathrooms are finished in pale stone and polished concrete, with angular window openings introducing changing patterns of light throughout the day.
One of the defining features of the property is the indoor swimming pool, positioned within a dedicated wellness area that allows year-round use regardless of season. Large glass openings maintain a direct visual connection to the gardens outside, while additional practical spaces — including laundry facilities, extensive storage and generous parking — support the scale of the house discreetly behind the architecture itself.
Outside, the grounds unfold gradually around the residence. Broad terraces extend from the living spaces toward the garden, while shaded exterior areas create quieter spaces throughout the day. The landscaping remains intentionally open, allowing uninterrupted views across the gulf and the changing colour of the sea to remain central to the experience of the house. In the evening, the terracotta façades deepen in tone as the light drops behind the mountains, and the water below begins reflecting the final blue-grey light of the gulf.
Located within easy reach of Halkida and approximately one hour from Athens, the property combines architectural distinction with practical accessibility, offering a contemporary coastal residence designed around light, openness and long-term privacy.
