Within the Complex
The villa is fully autonomous — one of the few in the Ionian Islands. The external areas are designed above large rainwater collection tanks: the upper chamber supplies fresh water to the house, the lower one stores an emergency reserve. Electricity is connected to DEI; however, contracts have been signed and a permit is awaited for a net metering system: solar panels on the roof will sell energy to DEI, which will offset it against consumption. The system is designed for zero electricity cost and possible small profit. Heat pumps and an FCU cooling system are installed throughout the house. Internet via Starlink (€99/month) and a standard Cosmote line (€35/month). The smart home is controlled via a mobile app: lighting, gates, Sonos sound, cameras, heating, cooling, boilers, fireplace.

- Price per square meter of interior area — €8,434.
When purchasing resale real estate in Greece, the buyer pays transfer tax (ΦΜΑ) at an effective rate of 3.09% of the value. For a property valued at €1 900 000 the tax will amount to approximately €64,890. Notary and registration fees — about 1–2% of the value. Total transaction costs typically amount to 7–10% of the price.
The final transaction amount, including all fees, is calculated individually and communicated prior to contract signing.
Annual expenses: the ENFIA property tax. For a Greek tax resident using the villa as a primary residence, the tax is €1,500 per year. Insurance with a 20% ENFIA discount is also available for insured homes. Maintenance (cleaning 3 times a week, gardener once a month, technician once a week, pool maintenance once a week) — €800 per month; the contract can be not renewed.
Ownership Structure and Transaction Format
Ownership form — full ownership (freehold). Foreigners may purchase property in Greece. Transaction steps: legal due diligence, signing of the preliminary contract, payment of the ΦΜΑ tax, notarial execution, and registration in the cadastre. Online viewings and remote execution via power of attorney are available. Support languages — Greek, English.
If Considering as an Investment
The seller classifies the property under the Greece Golden Visa investment program. In 2026, for Corfu as an island with a population of more than 3,100 residents, the minimum threshold is €800,000 for the purchase of a single property with an area of at least 120 m². The price (€1 900 000) and area (249 m²) meet the requirements. However, for properties acquired under the Golden Visa program, short-term rental through platforms is prohibited — only long-term rental is permitted. The conditions are valid as of the transaction date.
La Fortuna villa appears in reviews as a property for premium living and holidays. Guest reviews note the modern design, full automation, pool, jacuzzi, and quiet location with proximity to the city. The source provides no data on stated yield.
Best Suited For
— Buyers seeking a new autonomous villa with a smart home and a 2,080 m² plot near Corfu Town.
— Those who value energy independence (solar panels, rainwater collection) and full automation.
— Investors considering a purchase for the Golden Visa program (price and area meet the thresholds).
May Not Be Suitable
— If you plan short-term rental for Golden Visa properties — a prohibition applies.
— If the budget does not account for the annual ENFIA tax (€1,500 for a Greek tax resident) and maintenance (€800/month).
— If information about exact rental yield is critical for you — the data is absent.
— If you prefer a frontline sea property — the villa is located in a suburb, not on the shore.
What to Know Before the Transaction
The villa is fully autonomous: rainwater collection, solar panels with net metering permission pending, smart control. The net metering system in Greece has been replaced by net billing, which reduces compensation for surplus energy, but the system is still designed for zero electricity cost. There are 40 cypress trees over 400 years old and 42 young cypresses, and two coconut palms. The plot has a permit for additional construction of 200 m² (bungalow, guest houses). When purchasing, be sure to verify clean title and the availability of permits. If you are considering the property for the Golden Visa, bear in mind the prohibition on short-term rental.
