Property Description

The Kentroma Estate offers a development profile that is almost extinct in this part of the island. In addition to the existing older residence already on the land, planning rules allow for the construction of up to two further houses, each up to 400 m². In practice, this means the property can host up to three residences in total — a configuration that can support a private family compound, a mix of personal-use villa and rental units, or a small cluster of high-end homes aimed at the international market.

The terrain is mildly sloping, which enables easy access, clean architectural lines and efficient foundation work, without the engineering complexity and higher build costs associated with steep hillside plots. Mature olive trees surround the land, creating natural privacy, shade and a classic Corfiot landscape. The elevation secures commanding sea views over Agni Bay without exposing the property to harsh winds, while proximity to the coastline preserves the immediate connection to the waterfront lifestyle that defines North-East Corfu.

Location Highlights

Kentroma is one of the most established and respected residential pockets of North-East Corfu, favoured by long-term international owners who value privacy and stability over high-density tourism. Within just a few minutes’ drive, residents can reach Agni Bay with its waterfront dining and calm mooring, Kouloura with its protected harbour and traditional fish taverna, and Kalami with its beach, boat hire and Durrell heritage. Slightly further along the coast, Avlaki and Kassiopioffer beaches, a small marina, cafés, shops and everyday services.

The wider area benefits from the natural protection of Mount Pantokrator, which contributes to a stable microclimate, calm seas and year-round road accessibility. Corfu Town and the international airport are approximately 45 minutes away, making the estate well-positioned both for private use and for attracting high-value rental guests or buyers in the future.

Investment Appeal

What distinguishes this Kentroma hillside plot from most other land for sale in North-East Corfu is the combination of oikismos status, multi-residence potential and construction efficiency. Being inside the settlement means full buildability with the freedom to design more than one home, at a time when planning restrictions have significantly reduced what can be done on many coastal and hillside plots.

The possibility to renovate the existing house and add two new builds on the same property opens up strategies ranging from a private estate with guest houses, to a portfolio of sea-view villas tailored to the UK and Northern European market, which is already strongly established in this region. The gentle topography keeps build costs under control, while the Kentroma–Agni area has a proven track record for capital preservation, resale appeal and high-end holiday rentals.

Summary

The Kentroma Hillside Estate represents a rare multi-residence opportunity in one of North-East Corfu’s most enduring locations. With oikismos status, exceptional sea views over Agni Bay, direct road access and the potential to develop up to three homes on a single, coherent plot, it offers a level of flexibility and long-term value that is increasingly difficult to secure in the Corfu real estate market.

For buyers seeking scale, view and buildability — without compromising on location or planning status — this is a strategic land acquisition in one of the most desirable micro-markets of North-East Corfu.
