BLUESCAPE ESTATES<br />
Luxury residences in Andros, Cyclades, Greece
Bluescape Estates<br />
Our philosophy as<br />
developers is driven by the<br />
highest quality of construction and a<br />
genuine desire to preserve the natural<br />
beauty and heritage.<br />
Our vision is to provide beautiful and<br />
peaceful mediterranean retreats in<br />
accordance with local architectural<br />
forms.<br />
The residences will offer their future<br />
owners a unique, authentic and<br />
luxurious living experience that fully<br />
respects the environment.<br />
Over 95% of the estate land area is<br />
reserved for<br />
natural vegetation and<br />
cultivated landscaping.
The proposed development<br />
will comprise three number<br />
luxurious residences situated<br />
within a private land area of<br />
8,536 sq m on the island of<br />
Andros.<br />
All three are set against a<br />
backdrop of unspoilt scenery<br />
that affords breathtaking views<br />
looking out towards the pristine<br />
Aegean sea.<br />
Magnificent sunset-facing view from the villas.
Andros isn't just your typical Cycladic Island,<br />
white-washed and blue…<br />
A stunningly diverse landscape with rugged mountains,<br />
gently sloping valleys covered by lush olive groves<br />
and vineyards, open vistas and panoramas…
Meandering<br />
rivers, crystalline<br />
lagoons,<br />
hidden waterfalls,<br />
unique<br />
habitats…
177 km of pristine coastlines , secluded bays, endless sandy beaches.
Andros is an island of enormous historical importance.<br />
The island is an area of extreme historical importance as evidenced by ruins of the oldest pre-cycladic<br />
settlements on the southwest coast dated to the Geometric period (9th to 7th century BC).<br />
Merchant Mariners played a leading role in the economic life of the island.<br />
With a strong shipping tradition, Andros achieved economic prosperity.<br />

northern most and<br />
second largest Island<br />
of the Cyclades.<br />

approximately 374sq<br />
km and is<br />
approximately 36<br />
nautical miles from<br />
Port of Rafina.

located about 20 minutes from the new Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos.<br />
One can reach Andros on modern comfortable ferries and from there can hop to most of the Cyclades,<br />
Tinos, Siros and Mykonos (2½ hours from Andros by ferry).

Chalkolimnionas beach<br />
Resting on unspoilt land, setback from the coastal road, the development is ideally placed being a<br />
short 20 minute drive from the port (Gavrion) and the island’s main city called Chora.
Chalkolimnionas is the closest easily accessible sandy beach with clear azure blue waters, unspoilt scenery and<br />
approximately 1,5 kms from the villas.
The residences are situated<br />
on a gently sloping hillside which<br />
affords a natural shelter from<br />
the prevailing northern<br />
breezes.<br />
A balanced synergy of<br />
architecture and<br />
landscape will ensure the<br />
structures are<br />
harmoniously embedded<br />
into the natural<br />
terrain.<br />
Amphitheatrically arranged they<br />
will be designed and oriented to<br />
take full advantage of the view.<br />
The houses will be complimented<br />
by large open spaces and pools.

Design concept<br />
The properties will meet the highest standards of<br />
construction excellence.<br />
The basic design concept seeks to achieve optimum utilization of<br />
natural materials.<br />
Inspired by the oldest local architectural form in the island, the<br />
villas will be built using natural local stone and design elements so<br />
that they blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.<br />
The villas will be characterized by clean lines to produce an<br />
ambience of elegant luxury.

Buying property in Greece<br />
Being a member of the EU, Greece is liable to European laws. Acquiring property in<br />
Greece, nowadays, can be a rather simple and fast procedure, especially for buyers from<br />
other EU countries, but also for other foreign nationals. Yet it would be advisable to assign<br />
a lawyer, as one should do if buying property anywhere else.<br />
Like any Greek citizen who buys property in Greece, the foreign candidate has to have the<br />
following prerequisites:<br />
1. A tax registry number from the Greek state (it can be easily issued at any tax office in<br />
the country)<br />
2. A bank account in Greece<br />
Following that he assigns a public notary to oversee the purchase process, such as drafting<br />
and signing the preliminary contract stating the terms previously agreed upon (financial,<br />
timing etc). At this point of time, a number of taxes are paid such as, VAT tax, property<br />
registry and fees (legal, notary). All together will not exceed 10% of the property’s value.<br />
Upon completion of the project, the new property will be registered with the Greek<br />
registry of mortgages and the national land registry.

also be considered before the final decision.<br />
