Located in the rolling hills of Tsada village, between Pafos and Polis, Minthis Hills offers a haven of peace and tranquillity, a private retreat inspired by nature and breathtaking panoramic views.
The exquisite homes, designed by world renowned architect Woods Bagot, are a modern expression of traditional Cypriot mountain living that blend into the natural contours of the land.
British property buyers have flocked to Cyprus since the country entered the EU in 2004. In its European Housing Review 2007, The Royal Institute for Chartered Surveyors reports that prices on the Mediterranean island doubled in the five years to 2007, with buyers choosing Cyprus for its low cost of living, excellent climate and good public facilities. In addition, English is widely spoken and property laws are based on English Law.
On New Year’s Day 2008, Cyprus’ currency switched to the euro, which means the future looks bright for Cypriot property, despite a large amount of new-build homes.
The launch of Minthis Hills, a planned resort of 600 two to five-bedroom villas, will be in Paphos. The resort will have an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, a spa and a clubhouse with restaurants and bars. The developer says only 2% of the total 1,200 acre site will be built on, the rest will be planted with 50,000 indigenous trees and plants. Property design is inspired by local village architecture, featuring stone walls and open-air courtyards, while modern touches include floor-to-ceiling glass walls and infinity pools for that added luxury.
Woods Bagot - Architects:
A golf and residential estate outside Pafos, Cyprus. This 1,200 acre site is mountainous, with high hills and steep valleys.
The masterplan, designed in conjunction with Capita Lovejoy London, will minimise impact on the natural surroundings by positioning the 600 housing units nestled along the contours while maximising views of the mountains and sea.
A Golf Clubhouse will serve the club members as well as serve as the heart of the community. Its design responds to climate and site by utilising outdoor as well as indoor spaces, local materials such as dry stack stone and timber, and providing sun shading and natural ventilation to the interior. The building contains a 150 seat restaurant, bar, members lounge, function room, pro-shop, changing facilities, a gym, spike bar, as well as staff accommodation. Woods Bagot is providing full architectural and Interior Design services.
Additionally, Woods Bagot will design over 600 housing units ranging from four bedroom villas to townhouses, all working to enhance the masterplan through form and materials.
The project is on site with completion planned for 2010.
