Further Description:
We are a completely new, unaffiliated company, based on the North East Coast of Corfu, offering an extensive portfolio of Properties for sale; traditional and modern, coastal and inland, isolated or within a village, with sea or countryside views all across this fabulous Island.
You may imagine that all Estate Agents are alike, and wonder what we can offer that is in any way different from the rest?
To begin with, we understand the property business entirely and from every perspective; several years ago, we helped to establish, and manage a now highly successful Property Consultants on Corfu. Recently, we made the decision to open our own, independent company.
We also believe passionately in environmental issues. Our aim is to reach out to everyone interested in buying or building property on Corfu, and wherever possible promote environmentally safe alternatives; in building and decorating materials, sewage systems, swimming pools, energy saving options and appliances – all of which can be implemented and enjoyed without destroying our fragile eco-system.
Here at CORFU NEW LIFE ; with your help, we hope to create a new partnership with nature.
We have built up a network of reliable and forward thinking local professionals who work alongside us, covering every aspect of the business; from lawyers, notaries, engineers, architects, accomplished builders and renovation experts, whose main aim is to help us, to help you, aquire the house you have always wanted, on Corfu Island.
We provide highly experience consultants with your interests at heart, happy to help you through what may at first seem the complicated process of buying property abroad – it isn’t, and we are here to ensure an efficient and non problematic transaction from start to finish. Ensuring all of the required documentation is in place and making certain that prior to viewing properties of interest, every aspect; positive and negative is highlighted, saving precious time and disappointment – so many times we’ve heard: “if only we had realized there was a School, Sports field, Factory, build project, or noisy Taverna nearby we would never have bought this house! It may be exactly the bonus you were hoping for, but we need to be certain that you are making an informed choice and will be entirely happy with it.
Our commitment, to all of our clients; is to protect by advising honestly on the most sensible and safe investment to suit your budget and requirements, to only show you those properties which meet your particular criteria and budget – bearing in mind that obtaining a mortgage on Corfu is a relatively simple procedure, agreed in principle within a matter of days and offering a very competitive interest rate.
If you decide on a Luxury Villa or Investment Property for rental, we can arrange reliable and trustworthy local people to maintain your property and grounds when you are not in residence. (The same service is available for all of our properties).
If you considering a renovation project (definitely an exciting and rewarding option for those of you who prefer the traditional old stone houses of Corfu) our talented designer has several completed projects for you to view and help you to decide.
You can choose between total or partial renovation, depending on costs and your own home making expertise

A terrific property with immense potential to become a large family home with separate, self contained holiday apartment. As it stands; the upper level balcony apartment is in very good condition and can be rented out during the summer season. The two other apartments below need only very minor modernization and a lick of paint to bring them to a desirable standard. The last one at the far end is still in need of completion. (Our renovation designer has some exiting ideas for this property: to create a lovely Mediterranean country style family home, whilst retaining the upper apartment for additional family or rental use. The grounds surrounding the property are concreted ready for tiling and installation of deep planters for a flower garden and outdoor dining patio. An agricultural road to the rear leads directly to the back of the house and private parking place. The house is not overlooked by taller buildings and the only other inhabited houses in this tiny farming hamlet are two bungalows beyond the private drive way, another at the very far end of the back road and one on the main road. Views are very easy on the eye and typical Corfu countryside – small green fields and gently sloping hills, backed by tall cypress and indigenous forest land. Behind the house: a hillside of tall trees and mature shrubs. This is a delightful location – teaming with birds and wild life – tranquil and calm - just perfect for a get away retreat - yet only minutes from a sea side resort where fun can be had whenever the fancy takes you. Sidari is a cosmopolitan resort for all the family, offering everything you could possibly need for a fun filled holiday. The long sandy beach has two faces – one very lively, with soft sand and shallow water – the other, just a short walk away beyond the river inlet – is secluded and quiet with a slightly deeper shore line backed by a pebble beach and headland cliffs. At night, Sidari centre really comes to life and has no equal on Corfu when it comes to entertainment. A holiday to remember is guaranteed. This property is highly recommended for value, as a conversion project, and family home plus lucrative income potential.

This stone built house was once the local grocery shop of Kavalouri: a very traditional Village, renowned for its Venetian Mansions and written about extensively by Greek author Kostandinos Karamoutsos in his book “Arkontika Kerkyraikes.” There are three Mansion houses on this quiet little road through the village, with acres of preserved woodland, creating a wonderful vista for the surrounding houses – olive and citrus grove, tall cypress, wild cherry, fig and almond, tiny oaks and several other indigenous species. The main entrance door at the front of the property opens to a good sized room and two separate store rooms with a rear door opening to a pathway giving access to the old building and an adjoining property. A wooden staircase takes you to the upper level and a further two good sized rooms offering lovely views across the beautiful surrounding countryside to the sea. The tiny “no through” lane beside the house provides separate access to the one storey building - originally the bake-house kitchen, where a large traditional spit roast fire place with wall oven is still in place. A separate kitchenette and mezzanine level with beamed and vaulted ceiling completes this little property. Our company renovation designer can assist you with ideas and floor plans for conversion of both properties, incorporating: two double bedrooms, full sized bathroom, large open plan kitchen / living room, plus unique self contained studio accomadation. We can introduce you to accomplished local building contractors who will undertake the project, should you require this service. Original features in restorable condition include: rough marble seats at the front of the property, (originally created for customers to the shop as a place to sit and pass the time of day - now a perfect place for flower pots) Corner fireplace and oven. Heavy cypress wood beams. Wooden floors. Folding wooden shutters. Metal glass paned double doors, front and rear. Kavalouri remains an unassuming and friendly village where life continues at its own pace, unaltered by its architectural grandeur or the Island’s tourism industry on the coast. Most of the families are self sufficient in vegetables, wine, olive oil and feta cheese, suplimented by the local grocers shop. A traditional Kaffenian mezze bar is a short walk away. The lovely beach of Astrekiri and adjoining bays a few minutes drive away, are backed by steep hillside of indigenous forestland – a tranquil area of extreme natural beauty frequented by discerning visitors seeking a ‘get away from it all” holiday experience. Fifteen minutes by car will bring you to the lively Sidari Beach Resort, offering a cosmopolitan variety of restaurants, pool bars, cafes, boutiques and gift shops, safe swimming and an exiting night life. Properties in this unique village rarely come to the market and are highly sought after.

A delightful little Traditional house in an idyllic location offering absolutely wonderful sea views to Avlaki bay, over the olive groves to the Kassiopi headland, and across the Corfu straits to magnificent Albanian mountain ranges. Viewing this charming property is like taking a step back in time to an era when a sustainable lifestyle surrounded by nature was commonplace across Corfu Island - tranquil and secluded, where all that can be heard is bird song and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves - this heavenly location is perfect for anyone wishing to get away from the busy world outside. Secluded traditional properties such as this one are becoming rare on Corfu: most have been demolished or modernized beyond recognition. (Our company designer can assist with sympathetic and stylish renovation plans, whilst retaining the character of the property) The added beauty and bonus to this property is the surrounding 4000 square metres of land - on a gentle incline: ensuring that the fabulous views can never be interrupted. The property is totally secluded and ideally situated for the construction of an exclusive villa with landscaped garden and swimming pool. The cottage could serve as additional accommodation for visitors or as a private residence for caretaker and housekeeper. Properties in this area command a superior holiday rental, providing the buyer with a highly lucrative investment opportunity for re-sell and / or seasonal income. A property that should be seen to be fully appreciated.
