Porto Heli Perfection

A Mythically BEAUTIFUL ESTATE

The romantic Greek Isles provide a relaxed yet luxurious setting for this incredibly well-appointed estate

By Phil Butler

Set in a stunning landscape on the waterfront of the southeastern cape of the Greek Peloponnese, the Alexander estate is a magnificent combination of luxury and serenity.

This classic estate is ideally located adjacent to the wonderful cosmopolitan island of Spetses and just a few kilometers from Porto Heli. With 1,000 square meters (10,764 square feet) of total living space spread across the main house and two guest houses, Alexander offers total privacy and every conceivable convenience.

Within the total living space, there are two independent guest houses of 60 square meters and 120 square meters. Both of these accommodations enjoy the same stunning views seen from the main house. The main house itself is a classic three-level affair designed for carefree, uncluttered living. There are a total of nine bedrooms served by 10 bathrooms in all. Five lounges, three complete gourmet kitchens, and three separate dining rooms complete the sumptuous living accommodations.

Outside, an impressive 2,504 square meters (0.62 acres) of gardens provide an accent for the spectacularly oversized 19-by-7-meter saltwater swimming pool, private tennis court, and several wonderful terraces. Beyond the pool, impeccably landscaped gardens lead from an overlook down to the sparkling azure of the Myrtoan Sea. A tunnel from above provides easy access to the beach. At the shore, there’s a romantic boathouse with a 300-square-meter jetty for boats, fully equipped with moorings, shore power, and water. A barbecue area, multiple al fresco dining spots, and quite a bit of entertaining and activity space are ready to be enjoyed throughout this luxurious estate.

The area around Porto Cheli is one of Greece’s most popular summer resorts, a place often referred to as the “Riviera of the Peloponnese”—and for good reason. This part of Argolis, Greece, has a spectacular yacht basin and is just a stone’s throw from the islands of Spetses, Hydra, and Poros. There’s also a small private airport and countless amazing places to dine, do water sports, and enjoy the lively nightlife. The neighbors are impressive as well, including King Constantine II of Greece, who resides in the area with his wife, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece.

Down at the jetty, a romantic boathouse is a perfect hideaway, located only 50 meters from the beach.

The saltwater pool is the central attraction of this estate. Here we see a full view of the back of the main residence from the seaward.
