OMG, I Want This House: Gaia, Greece
The Daily Beast presents a look at one of the most insane houses in the world.
In 1820, a French navy man who fancied himself something of an aspiring archeologist stumbled across a stunning—if a bit worse for the wear—lady on the coast of an island in Greece. The Venus de Milo had been discovered. Nearly two centuries later, another treasure has been found sprouting from the rocks of Milos. This one’s name is Gaiaand for just over $6 million, you can claim her for your very own.

Built in 2018, Gaia was constructed into the side of a cave where it emerged from the rock like a gorgeous Greek sculpture. The result is a home that is not only über-cool, but one that can also claim superiority over its fellow modern houses. In your villa, you can boast, the rock decor is 100-percent au natural.

Just because your new home was built into a cave doesn’t mean it has cramped, caveman proportions. Seven bedrooms will ensure that all of your friends and family can rest their heads in luxury.

Move over Bacchus, this house is pure gorgeous minimalism. (Although feel free to channel the Greek god of excess when it comes to entertaining in said gorgeous minimalism.)

After a long day spent lounging by the pool or yachting on the sea, the only way to truly relax is with a schvitz in your resident sauna.

If you’re ever able to tear yourself away from this gorgeous—and ,more importantly, private—pool, a stretch of sand can be found just a short trek away. It would be a shame to live in Greece and never experience its famous beaches.
