Villas (houses) for sale in Cyprus

Villas and houses in Cyprus

Villas in Cyprus are luxury houses with high liquidity. Back in the day, any country houses were called villas, but now this term means a large house with elements of luxury, a well-groomed land plot, which may come with a garden and a swimming pool, and which can be situated both in and outside the city – be it picturesque outskirts, city centre, or coastline by the sea.

Today, a villa is a perfect option for permanent residency, although earlier, people used to live in the villa only occasionally since this type of real estate was considered something like a country cottage. Now, many classifications of real estate have changed, and it is especially so in Cyprus.

What is a villa?

A villa is a large house that usually has 2 floors, although one or three floors are possible too. The number of bedrooms varies from 2 to 5 or 6. You will definitely have a land plot where you can accommodate a landscaped garden, a leisure area, a barbecue area, a private swimming pool, and, perhaps, a playground.

This area may be closed or fenced with just a plant hedge. A security system in the form of electric-powered gates and a video surveillance camera may be installed upon your request. However, there are not so many properties in Cyprus with these options, since the island is one of the safest countries in the world — it ranks 5th in the world with almost no crimes or thefts and proper functioning of law enforcement agencies.

You will certainly have a parking lot within the territory of the villa, yet the number of parking spots depends on the land plot area and the building.

Floor-to-ceiling windows outlooking mountain and sea landscapes, as well as spacious cosy terraces, can be found in almost all properties, hence rest assured that you will feast your eyes on the local natural landmarks out of your windows all year round.

What will you get after buying a villa in Cyprus?

Buying a villa or a house in Cyprus is popular among our clients for several reasons:

• purchase of a real estate in Cyprus for living;
• acquiring permanent resident status;
• investment purposes.

Investments in real estate are popular on the island since real estate is liquid here (the market price is steadily increasing) and can bring a fairly high ROI (average of 8% per annum).

Even by purchasing a residential property for yourself, you can gain a stable profit, for example, by renting out your villa in Cyprus to tourists during the high season that lasts from April to November. During other times, you can live in your house and enjoy the sun even in winter, because the island has 330 sunny days per year.

However, most of our clients buy villas specifically for permanent residence with their family since the intimate atmosphere of their home contributes to home comfort and child upbringing, and the plot requires continuous maintenance. If you choose an apartment in a compound, it is guaranteed that all land plot maintenance will be carried out by the management company.

When choosing a villa, such service is optional, and if you refuse to receive the services of the management company, you will have to take care of the territory of your estate on your own. However, most modern villas are part of compounds, and maintenance of the territory is included in the standard list of services.

Buying a villa in Cyprus provides the following options:

• moving to the island with your family with lots of warmth and sun, clean environment, and high-quality food, and which is a perfect place for raising children;
• safety and high-quality medicine;
• year-round vacation in a villa by the sea;
• beautiful nature and life in a perfect place where you can make your dreams come true.

You can easily buy a villa or a house in Cyprus. SPM Real Estate specialists will help you choose the best property for you and your goals.
