| The
environment in which we live has a direct and far reaching
effect on our quality of life and, therefore, on our general
sense of well being. That’s why choosing a new home
is such a difficult decision.
Introducing Amathusia Village, a prestigious new residential
development conceived and designed to meet, and exceed,
the requirements of people who recognise and value quality…
particularly quality of life.
This exclusive, private estate is situated in one of the
most prestigious and sought after parts of Limassol’s
coastal resort, within walking distance of all the best
five-star hotels and adjacent to the famous ruins of the
ancient city kingdom of Amathus.
Designed to suit a diversity of living requirements, the
project offers a choice of detached villas, terraced cottages
and spacious apartments whose privileged owners will enjoy
the privacy, security and other advantages of a self-contained
village environment, together with modern convenience
of high specification facilities and services.
Traditional Mediterranean architecture is much more than
just a pretty façade, Amathusia Homes are not just
designed but built to last, which requires the extensive
use of natural materials like local stone, solid wood
and terrazzo tiles.
As far as convenience and facilities are concerned, everything
is provided for in the original plans and that doesn’t
mean just the electricity and water supply. Amathusia
is the first such development serviced by the Limassol
Amathunda central sewerage system (ÓÁËÁ).
Each home has provisions for heating and cooling systems,
as well as lines for telephone, ISDN (Integrated Services
Digital Network) telefax and telex.
One of the main advantages of having technology built
in as an integral part of the project is that all cables
and pipes are concealed underground and there is a proper
design for the water tanks and solar heaters to intrude
on the charming rural atmosphere or spoil the magnificent
view to the sea.
Concealed parking is another significant feature that
demonstrates the priority of aesthetics in the superb
development.
Furthermore, seclusion is assured by the private access
road to the village. This means added security which
will be re-enforced with the installation of a controlled
access system.
The residential area is just part of the picture which,
when complete, will embrace a charming shopping plaza
with a variety of local shops, cafés, restaurants,
bars, grill areas and landscaped gardens. The Amathusia
Village site stretching 260.000sq.m. is situated on a
gentle gradient just a short stroll from a long sandy
beach. The topography allows it spectacular views
of the coastline, exclusive hotels and the nearby yacht
marina.
It is bordered to the south by a quiet coastal road and
the ruins of the ancient agora - part of the old Kingdom
of Amathus – which places Amathusia village in a protected
area where strict building controls guarantee the character
of the surrounding now and in the future.

Whatever
the question …. Amathusia is the answer …
We are looking for a home that suits our lifestyle.
There are so many new developments to choose from.
Why Amathusia?
Developments of this standard are rare not only in Cyprus
but anywhere in Europe. This is a complete departure
from the usual concept of a “Holiday Village” and is expected
to attract both permanent residents and those in search
of a second home. The location is undoubtedly second
to none on the island and the whole concept, from the
unique architecture and design to the unparalleled range
of facilities and services is certain to exceed the expectations
of even the most discerning buyer.
If
we decide to call Amathusia Home, one of the main reasons
will be because of the incredible view. What are
the guarantees for the future?
The most pressing problem for anyone considering a home
where the view is one of the main features, is the prospect
of losing that view in the future. In Amathusia
village the future is guaranteed. Although the village
will be completed in a series of phases, there is no danger
of anyone losing their view to future buildings because
of strict building controls that allow a maximum of two
stores and the fact that the whole project is carefully
planned in an amphitheatre style arrangement of housing.
Furthermore,
the fact that the village is located right next to an
important archaeological site means the building laws
that exist today will remain in force forever.
We
want a home that’s ready to move into. Will all
the necessary facilities and services be provided?
Some of the most common pitfalls when building a new home
involve services like access roads, power and water supplies
and telecommunications. It’s a major advantage to
have all of this provided for as an integral part of the
plans. Amathusia residents will not only have immediate
and sufficient power and mains water supplies, but also
the first residents in Limassol connected to the city’s
sewerage system. They will also have guaranteed
telecommunications including telephone, ISDN, fax and
telex lines.
What
are the pros and cons of traditional architecture?
Contemporary architects concede there is much to be learnt
from the way things used to be done. The reason
natural materials and traditional building methods are
not so common today is because they are expensive.
Natural materials are not just aesthetically pleasing.
Stone, for example, has insulating properties and it also
stands the test time, becoming ever more beautiful as
it weathers. The flexibility, texture and graining
of natural wood is unparalleled manmade materials;
Byzantine style roof tiles were chosen for this project
because they are both attractive and also provide insulation
and longevity; Even public paths and walkways in
Amathusia are constructed of stone stabs and cobblestones,
and lit by old-fashioned street lamps, in keeping with
the traditional village ambience.
Isn’t
this just another large holiday village?
Amathusia village has nothing in common with the usual
idea of a “Holiday Village” where compact homes are centred
around a swimming pool, communal gardens and other public
facilities. Amathusia is similar in lay out to traditional
village communities in Cyprus, with the commercial and
recreational centres set away from the residential area.
In addition to the general lay out with houses and apartments
constructed in small roads, as would occur in any small
community, each home, including ground floor apartments,
has its own private garden. Because the access road
ins private, noise and pollution from cars will be minimal.
There is also added security and the possibility of installing
a restricted access system in the future.

Living
out of town sounds like a good idea, but is it practical?
The convenient location of Amathusia village is difficult
to beat anywhere on the island. Limassol town centre
is just 15 minutes away. Paphos and Larnaca airports
are about forty minutes drive while the Troodos mountains
and the towns of Nicosia and Paphos are less than an hour’s
drive. Although it’s difficult to believe from the
secluded atmosphere, the main highway connecting all towns
on the island is just around the corner. Meanwhile,
the surrounding area embraces the most prestigious part
of Limassol’s famous coastal resort including the picturesque
yacht marina and the cream of the island’s five star hotels
with their extensive health and sports facilities, first
class restaurants, bars, cafeterias, etc.
What
guarantees are there that promises made now will be kept
in the future?
K+G Complex Ltd has undertaken to appoint a suitably qualified
administrative committee with a proven track record, whose
sole aim will be to ensure that all facilities and services
provided for in the original plans are executed promptly
and efficiently and are then maintained to the highest
standards. This includes everything from the planting
and maintenance of trees, shrubs and flowers to the construction
and management of the shopping centre. The administrative
committee is mandated to ensure not only that all the
services and facilities provided for in the original contract
are carried out, but that plans are made for even better
facilities and improvements to existing installations.
So,
is finally Amathusia a wise investment?
Buying
a home in Amathusia village is a rock solid investment
because the sole owners of K+G Complex Ltd, a large public
company with a multi-million pound turnover, who can guarantee
to hand over individual title deeds shortly after the
completion of the building works and the issue of the
relevant certificate of approval. But it is also
a wise investment not only because the unique location
of the site lies in a protected area but, also, because
the amphitheatre style arrangement of the housing ensures
the preservation of its beautiful surroundings.

Cyprus
is still a relatively small market, but the island is
now certainly destined to be full member of the European
Union, a huge market of over 300 million potential buyers
who will definitely purchase real estate in Cyprus.
Clearly, now is the time to invest in real estate on the
island and there is no better way to secure your place
in a bright future, than by making your home in Amathusia
Village. |
