Pachna Estate Villa is one of the most impressive and imposing examples of traditional 19th century domestic architecture . The setting is ideal. One of the largest tranquil villages in Cyprus, Pachna features a treasure trove of historically significant homes, a time capsule of the best of village lifestyle past.

Enjoying a large plot of 483sqm, the original cottage was built over a century ago. The restoration and significant extensions have been undertaken by the famous local architect Mr Economou in 1984 and follow closely Cypriot folk architecture which called for a house to be within fortified walls. Further improvements including central heating were added since then.

The villa was commissioned by the then Under Secretary General of the United Nations to be his idyllic personal and family sanctuary. Featuring a substantial formal living room, a separate open- plan kitchen with dining area, 3 bedrooms in the main building and an annex, the villa also has a guest bedroom annex.

Wide porches span the main residence supported by graceful pointed arches on the ground floor and traditional Greek columns on the first floor. The first floor verandah flows to a substantial terrace which envelops the master bedroom. You?ll love the panoramic scenery of the countryside the view of the sea from here and indeed the whole first floor.

High stone walls screen the property from the road and access to the property is through a stone ?gate house? with a deep semicircular archway leading to a broad lower garden courtyard.

Mediterranean lifestyle revolves around outdoor living with the central courtyard often regarded as a natural extension of the living room and this villa design faultlessly echoes the tradition.

The design neatly incorporates wide outdoor stairs connecting the floors. Each floor features main door entry with internal connection between the rooms on the individual levels.

The orientation of the entire home is towards the central courtyard, a serene tree lined and fabulously private haven, a blissful environment where conversation flows freely and entertaining is an absolutely private affair, far removed from the pressures of any demanding work schedule.

Neither words nor pictures can adequately describe the sheer magnificence of this estate. It is truly something very special ? viewings are a must!!!
