It is an open-air shopping mall, marina, and on-the-water (literally) condominium complex, with shops, bars restaurants and nightclubs.

When I was first introduced to this 5 star luxury spa and marina resort in Samos, I could not believe the deal. 8% rental guarantee for 2 years with a 180% guaranteed buy-back after 9 years. And you even got 5% per annum on your deposit. So enticed was I by what I heard, that I decided to go out to Samos to check it out myself. Indeed, you will see me in the photo here. An idyllic peaceful island with authentic Greek shops, cafes and restaurants. No neon lights, no trashy bars, no loud Brits or Germans. Many, many Greeks with a smattering of tourists. I wondered through the narrow uphill alley ways and the impressively carved marble balconies and the wooded roofed verandas. I bought a kitchen utensil in a traditional Greek shop, which was also smartly designed, yet low key. I picked up Greek pastries and delicacies in a shop populated by Greeks, and wondered into one of the clothing shops. Smart, European yet inexpensive. We stayed at the Samos Hotel in Vlathy, the island's capital The Samos Hotel has been trading since the 1870s and has remained in the same family. I opened my window from the hotel room and had a fabulous view of the ferries and the port, and of course the lovely water and the authentic buildings along the sea front. On Friday night we ate at a Taverna overlooking SamosTown and night views over the sea . The next morning we took off to explore the Halcyon Hills land. First we went to the neighbouring village of Klima, and had a coffee at the local caf. Have a look at the photo posted here. Whislt on the land, I appreciated the beautiful surroundings and that exquisite view out across Asia Minor and with Turkey in clear sight. The land and the views deliver the experience that will encompass the resort of a true feeling of tranquillity, being away from it all, and in a very special place. And the small yet large pleasure of drinking in the bar on Saturday evening with work colleagues and the developer. The staff looked after us and we had an opportunity to speak to other tourists and the locals. The definite fashion is to watch all the passer bys, and drink ouzo. The lovely natural light neon free. Getting planning permission in Greece is extremely difficult, and there is usually at least 15 permissions to get final building permission. Additionally, 4 and 5 star hoteliers can only build on 20% of the land unlike Spain at 80% The Doryssa Bay Hotel has languished on the island for over 20 years, and whilst a 5 star hotel, it has become tired and dated. Moreover, it is situated at the end of the airport runway - not a venue to ‘get away from it all'. Hardly a 21st century 5 star resort, for the discerning traveller. Background It has taken the developer several years to get planning permission. You see in Greece, there are very strict rules not to build on ancient buildings. And you don't know until you start digging what archaeological remains are under the ground. The developer had a thorough feasibility study carried out by the esteemed Christie & Co; it highlighted the likely success of resort, and established that there is a strong demand for a luxury resort on Samos. Indeed, back in the 1990s, the visionary and entrepreneurial Richard Branson tried to build a luxury resort in Samos, and it did not go ahead due to local objection. This resort has all the ingredients to be a smashing success. The Lifestyle: 5 Star beachfront spa resort 35 berth private marina Panoramic sea views for all properties 1200m2 Spa, to rival award winning Elounda Diamond in Crete Two beaches Restaurants, bars and shops 4 weeks pa free usage for you Tennis courts Children's Club Your Profit from the 180% Buy-Back For example, if you purchased a hotel suite valued at £126,000 the developer guarantees you a buy-back price of £189,000. And this does not include the 5% return you have made during the build, the 8% guaranteed return for the first 2 years, and your 10%/14% return year 3 onwards. Not to mention, that you are also getting 4 weeks per annum free usage of your property! Other Type of Properties : apartment suites, 1 bed kampanas 1, 2 and 3 bed luxury villas -- all sea facing. Feedback from One of My Buyers He bought a hotel suite via his SIPP and is extremely happy with his investment. Before he bought he said ‘I am getting peanuts from my pension fund. Now I am getting 5% return on my deposit during the build. And by the time I take advantage of the guaranteed buy-back, I will more than double my return.' Purchase of Comparables Properties The closest comparable properties are Elounda Diamond in Crete and Aphrodite Hills in Cyprus. Samos Resort - €4,070/M2 Porto Elounda - €13,498/M2 Aphrodite Hills - €8,228/M2 You can see that our 5 star resort on Samos is three times less expensive per square metre than Elounda Diamond. Rental Comparables This compares the cost to rent a one bedroom apartment for one night: Doryssa Bay Hotel, Samos €330 Porto Elounda Crete €677 Hotel Cavo Tagoo, Mykonos €427 Thus, you can see that a rent of €330 per night is easily achievable once the resort is completed!

What the Media is Saying about this Resort & Samos The latest article was in the Daily Express, 25th July 2011. 'The luxury beachfront resort ls on the Greek island of Samos provides an opportunity for self-invested personal pension (SIPP) investors. They can acquire a property with a guaranteed income of 5% for nine years after which the developer is offering to buy back customers' properties at 180% of the price they paid. The development is in a sheltered bay and nearly all properties enjoy panoramic sea views from their own terraces. Centred around a vast spa, the resort offers all the facilities of a top hotel.

Key features: Superb 7000 sq ft contemporary homeConstructed to the highest specificationFour luxurious double bedroom suitesStunning living areas with central atriumOffice, wine cellar & utlity roomSwimming pool & gymnasium Bespoke kitchen plus additional professional kitchenLift from ground floor to first floorBeautifully landscaped gardens set within a tranquil settingDouble garaging and ample parkingSweeping driveway set behind electric security gates Full description: An imposing residence constructed to the highest standards by Clark Estates. The house is beautifully positioned on a prime plot which extends to approximately 1 acre in one of the area's premier locations. Fixtures and fittings are of the highest order and include bespoke kitchens and bathrooms, under floor gas fired central heating, intelligent lighting and home audio/visual system. Outside the front and the rear gardens are landscaped to a stunning design which takes full advantage of the superb sylvan setting. DESCRIPTION: 23 Western Avenue sits amidst a beautiful one acre plot with private front and rear gardens, all landscaped to an extremely high standard. The driveway, which is enclosed by remote control gates, meanders through the grounds and leads to an oversize double garage as well as the entrance to the house. The house itself is the result of a simply stunning design by an award winning architect and it is imposing but elegant. High quality but innovative construction utilises the latest high-tech materials alongside large expanses of glass which maximise views of the exceptional setting. The foyer leads to a spectacular galleried atrium which connects the main living areas and this magnificent space features a stone clad staircase with a structural glass balustrade. The natural light which bathes the area permeates throughout the house and adds to the feeling of spaciousness. The ground floor accommodation boasts dramatic high ceilings and volumous rooms, which are unique in the area for such a modern house. The highly contemporary kitchen is equipped with a full complement of integrated appliances by Gaggenau and Miele, whilst the fitted units are from one of the latest ranges by Rational. For serious chefs there is even a separate professional kitchen equipped with all mod cons including a large stainless range by Wolf and a stainless steel Sub Zero fridge/freezer. In keeping with today’s lifestyles there is an informal dining and an informal sitting area / family room in close proximity to the kitchen plus a study and a gym with associated shower and changing room. The generously proportioned indoor swimming pool connects directly to the rear terrace. The formal living area is some 51’ in length and incorporates a stunning bespoke fireplace with “living†flames. One end of the room is dedicated to formal dining from where one can view the superbly fitted and climate controlled wine cellar, which will hold some 900 bottles of fine wine! The first floor features four luxury bedrooms (all en-suite) and in addition to a useful sitting area on the galleried landing there is a discreet enclosure housing a fridge, a coffee machine and a zip tap with instant boiling water, ideal for early mornings or late night snacks! The master bedroom must surely be the last word in luxury and in addition to his and hers walk in wardrobes there is a huge private sun terrace for private sun bathing or it would make an ideal outside “sitting area†with room for a whole suite of furniture. As one would expect for such a house, the specification is second to none. In addition to concrete floors and under-floor heating there is a fully programmable intelligent Crestron lighting system, an integrated audio system and highly effective polished plaster effects are evident throughout. Oversize doors with invisible fixings are finished in walnut and luxury floor finishes include limestone and seamless hi-tech resins in a variety of colours. An automatic passenger lift connects both floors. The green credentials of the house are also very good with a stringent set of self-imposed sustainability credentials. Renewable technology has been integrated by using high performance solar collectors linked to a thermal store to provide under-floor heating. This also helps pre-heat the hot water, reducing demand on the gas-fired condensing boiler. It allows the swimming pool to act as a heat sink for over provision of the solar collectors, storing excessive heat in summer. This is linked to a weather compensator to adjust internal temperatures to respond to changes in the external environment. Additionally, the property has been orientated to gain from passive solar design. This, along with the mature trees helps control the internal temperatures during the summer months and allows low angle winter sun to warm the property in the winter. The ground bearing slab, dense block work walls, pre-cast concrete floors and roof help to create a dense thermal mass to resist overheating in summer months. Increased u-values for greater thermal performance are linked with a heat recovery and pollen reducing whole house mechanical ventilation system. The covered internal garden warms the centre of the home and allows daylight to penetrate deep into its centre. The intelligent building system with LCD touch screen control is linked to low energy lighting. Water conservation is tackled by a rainwater harvesting tank linked to the rainwater downpipes for landscape. Aerated taps and showers give water savings through reduced flow restriction with dual flush WCs contributing to a reduced water strategy. The highest standards of architecture, design and construction have been employed throughout, culminating in a house which will be a pleasure to own and live in for years to come.

Village chateau 13kms from small town with shops, medical services, culture and sport. 40kms from Carcassonne airport. This historic chateau belonged to the main wine producer in the area for generations until the 1970a€™s and its historic wine cellar featured in the Michelin Green Guide for visitors to see authentic wine coopers at work a€“ the original well and barrel slide are still in place. Part of the building dates back to the 12th century and its front 318m2 courtyard would once have seen horses entering it from the former West wing stables. The East wing has been renovated and offers 250m2 of living space. Many original features have been retained or added to a€“ exposed beams and stonework, 12th century granite a€œheatera€, open fireplaces, bread oven, carvings and sculptures on stone pillars and balustrades, hand-crafted wooden internal doors. The West wing requires finishing and fitting out, although all the major structural work has been done apart from the tower, which requires total renovation including the roof. New roof applies elsewhere. There is 1000m2 of habitable space offering endless possibilities for private or commercial use e.g. hotel, conference centre, livery stables etc. The outside area immediately behind the house would make a delightful south facing terrace shaded by two beautiful lime trees. It leads onto the 1 hectare garden and orchard, well planted with fruit trees a€“ fig, apple, pear, cherry a€“ not forgetting almond and walnut trees. There is a large lawn eminently suitable for a swimming pool, if desired. Your uninterrupted gaze strays over the beautiful rolling countryside and the peaceful landscape surrounding the small hamlet where the chateau is situated. East Wing : Ground Floor.

Key features: Superb 7000 sq ft contemporary homeConstructed to the highest specificationFour luxurious double bedroom suitesStunning living areas with central atriumOffice, wine cellar & utlity roomSwimming pool & gymnasium Bespoke kitchen plus additional professional kitchenLift from ground floor to first floorBeautifully landscaped gardens set within a tranquil settingDouble garaging and ample parkingSweeping driveway set behind electric security gates Full description: An imposing residence constructed to the highest standards by Clark Estates. The house is beautifully positioned on a prime plot which extends to approximately 1 acre in one of the area's premier locations. Fixtures and fittings are of the highest order and include bespoke kitchens and bathrooms, under floor gas fired central heating, intelligent lighting and home audio/visual system. Outside the front and the rear gardens are landscaped to a stunning design which takes full advantage of the superb sylvan setting. DESCRIPTION: 23 Western Avenue sits amidst a beautiful one acre plot with private front and rear gardens, all landscaped to an extremely high standard. The driveway, which is enclosed by remote control gates, meanders through the grounds and leads to an oversize double garage as well as the entrance to the house. The house itself is the result of a simply stunning design by an award winning architect and it is imposing but elegant. High quality but innovative construction utilises the latest high-tech materials alongside large expanses of glass which maximise views of the exceptional setting. The foyer leads to a spectacular galleried atrium which connects the main living areas and this magnificent space features a stone clad staircase with a structural glass balustrade. The natural light which bathes the area permeates throughout the house and adds to the feeling of spaciousness. The ground floor accommodation boasts dramatic high ceilings and volumous rooms, which are unique in the area for such a modern house. The highly contemporary kitchen is equipped with a full complement of integrated appliances by Gaggenau and Miele, whilst the fitted units are from one of the latest ranges by Rational. For serious chefs there is even a separate professional kitchen equipped with all mod cons including a large stainless range by Wolf and a stainless steel Sub Zero fridge/freezer. In keeping with today’s lifestyles there is an informal dining and an informal sitting area / family room in close proximity to the kitchen plus a study and a gym with associated shower and changing room. The generously proportioned indoor swimming pool connects directly to the rear terrace. The formal living area is some 51’ in length and incorporates a stunning bespoke fireplace with “living†flames. One end of the room is dedicated to formal dining from where one can view the superbly fitted and climate controlled wine cellar, which will hold some 900 bottles of fine wine! The first floor features four luxury bedrooms (all en-suite) and in addition to a useful sitting area on the galleried landing there is a discreet enclosure housing a fridge, a coffee machine and a zip tap with instant boiling water, ideal for early mornings or late night snacks! The master bedroom must surely be the last word in luxury and in addition to his and hers walk in wardrobes there is a huge private sun terrace for private sun bathing or it would make an ideal outside “sitting area†with room for a whole suite of furniture. As one would expect for such a house, the specification is second to none. In addition to concrete floors and under-floor heating there is a fully programmable intelligent Crestron lighting system, an integrated audio system and highly effective polished plaster effects are evident throughout. Oversize doors with invisible fixings are finished in walnut and luxury floor finishes include limestone and seamless hi-tech resins in a variety of colours. An automatic passenger lift connects both floors. The green credentials of the house are also very good with a stringent set of self-imposed sustainability credentials. Renewable technology has been integrated by using high performance solar collectors linked to a thermal store to provide under-floor heating. This also helps pre-heat the hot water, reducing demand on the gas-fired condensing boiler. It allows the swimming pool to act as a heat sink for over provision of the solar collectors, storing excessive heat in summer. This is linked to a weather compensator to adjust internal temperatures to respond to changes in the external environment. Additionally, the property has been orientated to gain from passive solar design. This, along with the mature trees helps control the internal temperatures during the summer months and allows low angle winter sun to warm the property in the winter. The ground bearing slab, dense block work walls, pre-cast concrete floors and roof help to create a dense thermal mass to resist overheating in summer months. Increased u-values for greater thermal performance are linked with a heat recovery and pollen reducing whole house mechanical ventilation system. The covered internal garden warms the centre of the home and allows daylight to penetrate deep into its centre. The intelligent building system with LCD touch screen control is linked to low energy lighting. Water conservation is tackled by a rainwater harvesting tank linked to the rainwater downpipes for landscape. Aerated taps and showers give water savings through reduced flow restriction with dual flush WCs contributing to a reduced water strategy. The highest standards of architecture, design and construction have been employed throughout, culminating in a house which will be a pleasure to own and live in for years to come.
