Cyprus New Build That Feels Like It’s Floating Over the Mediterranean Lists for €3.19M
The modern five-bedroom villa is in the island’s popular Paphos district

A lavish and contemporary villa in Cyprus that sits right on sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea has hit the market for €3.19 million (US$3.45 million).
Villa 82, as it’s known, is set in a private gated community within the island’s Paphos district alongside one of the top beaches in the region, according to the property’s developer Leptos Estates, which brought the home to the market earlier this month.
Cyprus has become an increasing wealth hub, as it draws affluent migrants through its golden visa program. Its prime home values have benefited, with prices rising more than 7% in 2023, according to a report earlier this year from Knight Frank.
The three-story house boasts a contemporary interior, but while there are modern finishes and fixtures throughout, it also incorporates elements of Cyprus’s traditional architecture, including stone pillars, alcoves and polished marble flooring, according to the listing.
The open-plan hub of the five-bedroom home has a dining area, a sleek custom kitchen and a double-height living room. The space is lined with walls of windows taking in views that give the impression of the rooms floating on the sea.
It’s an “exquisite property,” and “offers a truly luxurious lifestyle,” said Pantelis Leptos, co-president of Leptos Group of Companies.
With “ample space for both relaxation and entertainment, the villa features a range of special amenities, including [the] spacious living room and a spectacular infinity pool that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea,” he added.
Outside, alongside the pool, are private landscaped gardens and large verandas for sunbathing.
Cyprus is “the perfect place to live and renowned for its fabulous beaches, which draw people from all over the world,” Leptos said. “There is so much to enjoy here.”
Paphos, meanwhile, ranked as the most popular tourist destination within Cyprus over the last two years, with 36% of all inbound travellers to the island visiting the coastal city between 2022 and 2023, according to a news release.
“With the increased level of tourism being experienced, Cyprus is well placed to provide opportunities for luxury living,” he said.

Château d’Ansembourg and the adjacent Domaine du Presbytère d’Ansembourg are on the market for €37.5 Million
< 1 min
The listing comprises the ancient Château d’Ansembourg and the adjacent Domaine du Presbytère d’Ansembourg, which are within central Luxembourg’s Valley of the Seven Castles.
Château d’Ansembourg is one of the seven castles the valley is named for and is regarded as one of the country’s most important privately owned châteaus, according to Ignace Meuwissen, the founder of Whisper Auctions, who is handling the sale.
The castle sits at the heart of an almost 500-acre estate overlooking the picturesque village of Ansembourg, and records of its existence date to 1135.
Domaine du Presbytère d’Ansembourg, meanwhile, is a more than 110-acre estate comprising a former presbytery, a chapel dating to 1678, a historic school site, forests and meadows.
“Properties of this calibre rarely become available,” Meuwissen said.
“What is being offered today is far more than a chateau. The combination of nearly nine centuries of documented history, 245 hectares of land and a unique location in the Valley of the Seven Castles creates an opportunity that is exceptionally rare within Europe. Opportunities of this scale and heritage value are seldom brought to market and are often preserved within families for generations.”
The properties are being marketed through a “semi-off-market sales process,” with limited information and marketing materials publicly available, and access to the properties is reserved for a small number of pre-qualified candidates, according to Meuwissen.
Both estates have been privately occupied by the same owner, whom Meuwissen declined to identify. Mansion Global could not confirm who the seller is.
