Private & Secluded Home With Own Pool And Breathtaking Views

I'm a documentary film-maker, and if you click on my website (please ask for details) that will tell you all about my work.

From 1974 I spent every holiday, exploring the Greek islands until, in 1980, I discovered Skopelos -- its friendly people, its beautiful forests and woodlands, its fabulous views and beaches. I explored the whole island, until, late one afternoon, I spotted a hill, climbed to the top, and experienced a breath-taking view right across the Aegean at sunset. I knew at once that this was it, and over the next two years, got to know the lovely family who owned this land. Finally, they told me they would like me to have it, "because we know you would bring love to the land." When I awkwardly asked about the price, they simply said: "Ask around, and once you a clear in your mind about the fair price, that's the price we'll sell it at." Such is the quality of this island and its people.

That wonderful view is the most important feature of this house, which is also very quiet and private. Nobody overlooks you -- the nearest house in view is about half a mile away. And yet it's only a 20 minute walk along the coast (or a 10 minute drive on the tarred road) to the village of Glossa, with two excellent restaurants, a bakery, a butcher and 3 "supermarkets" with virtually everything you might need. As well as our pool, there are two lovely beaches approx two miles from the house, and in early and late season, you can often have one of those to yourself. In this setting, we believe we have created a real home, a place that doesn't feel like a "holiday let". It has two double bedrooms, each with their own bath or shower rooms and a huge living room with views on every side.
