Island of romance offers lifestyle investment

When buying investment property we are often told to detach our hearts from the decision making process as heartfelt emotions can often lead us astray, but some investments need not be so cold and may even appeal to both the heart and the mind. Such an investment can be found on the Greek island of Samos.

Samos is steeped in history. The birthplace of Pythagoras, the weekend retreat of Anthony and Cleopatra, and said to be the residence of Hera and Zeus, Samos has a long standing history of romance and charm. This island charm can be found in the sleepy pebble bays and sheltered coves, or the narrow winding streets that climb the hills between huddled blue and white townhouses. Time seems to pass slower here. The sun arcs its way across azure skies at a lazy pace, perfect for those seeking a slower pace of life far away from the hustle and bustle of our every day routines.

The luxury resort of Halcyon Hills encapsulates this elegant charm and romantic history. Historic character gleaned from nearby ancient temple ruins and opulent indulgences will enhance the finish of each property. Cool marble meets subtle shades of stone and rippling aquamarine waters, in the world class spa. The resort will truly reflect the same romance and way of life that has been so prevalent here throughout history.

Robin Barrasford, the driving force behind the development of this resort says, “Lifestyle meets investment at Halcyon Hills. Each and every property here will be finished to the highest standards required to meet the five star rating, but more than this, Halcyon Hills is designed to compliment the character of Samos and the wealth of history the islands shares with us. Halcyon Hills isn’t just about property, it’s about a way of life.”

Property styles at Halcyon Hills range from studio apartments, to detached villas. Most properties enjoy their own terraces to truly appreciate the fabulous sea views and some have the option of having pools added to their plot. Prices start at £115,000, but will rise by up to £60,000 on the 1st March. Each property purchase comes with an 8% guaranteed rental return for 5 years, available for a limited time only. The opportunity to buy into a resort of such charm, character and quality and return a substantial profit is only available until the end of February 2008.

For those investors that like to purchase into something that inspires their imagination, Halcyon Hills offers both the lifestyle and the investment opportunity.
