Mystery of the 300 million euro home listed for sale near the Acropolis

·

A single-family home on Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, directly across from the Acropolis and near the entrance of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, appeared to be on the market for €300 million on Wednesday morning.

According to an article of Elias Bellos in ekathimerini.com this price made it the most expensive residence in Greece and one of the priciest worldwide, both in total value and price per square meter.

The 3,300 m² property, notable for its distinctive architectural style, was built by the late Elias Barbalias, founder of the company Elias G. Barbalias – Special Construction & Real Estate Development. The property remains under the ownership of his family.

The home, which boasts a prime location with views of the Acropolis, was marketed by specialized real estate firms targeting both domestic and international buyers. However, as reported by ekathimerini.com, soon after the listing was made public, the owners firmly denied authorizing the sale of the residence, reportedly considering legal action against the real estate agencies that posted the sale listing for the property, according to information shared with Kathimerini.

The advertisement appeared, on prominent real estate websites in Greece and internationally, including jamesedition.com and the Metro One Real Estate site. However, the listing has since been removed.
