EQUUS

Location: Afidnes, Athens

Architect / Interior designer: Baptiste Bohu

EQUUS is an architectural meditation on the equestrian spirit — the ritualistic bond between human and horse, reimagined as spatial form.

Weathered leather, raw linen, charred wood, oxidized bronze: every material is chosen to respond to energy rather than impose on it. Tack rooms become intimate salons. Water basins evolve into contemplative courtyards. The line between stable and sanctuary blurs by design.

A horse does not respond to words, it responds to energy. EQUUS does the same.
— Baptiste Bohu

This is Bohu’s debut project in Greece — a residence built not to be seen, but to be felt.

Why EQUUS:

An impossible location — the only equestrian estate within 30km of a European capital. 17,650 sqm of privacy, 25km from Athens, 300m from the train station.
Complete water independence — a private water supply gives full autonomy on your own land.
Baptiste Bohu design — world-class interiors and an investment-grade architectural legacy.
Professional equestrian facilities — 6 stables and a professional manège, built to Olympic-level standard, at home.
A lifestyle without compromise — a morning ride through Parnitha Forest, lunch in Athens, an evening by the pool, the sea 20 minutes away.
Built for entertaining — a private cinema, pool, and outdoor dining for 14 across sprawling grounds.
Effortless for staff — the train station is 300m away and Athens centre 25 minutes, so attracting top talent comes without complication.
Rare by nature — the rarest asset class globally, and priced below comparable properties worldwide.
A legacy in the making — 17,650 sqm for a family to grow into, explore, and pass down, minutes from world-class education and culture.
Real return — an estimated 5-8% ROI through short-term rentals and events.

The Villa

17,650 sqm of North-east Attica, holding a 680 sqm high-end villa across three sections:

Main House — 530 sqm across two levels: an entryway art room, living and dining rooms, three master en-suite bedrooms, a cinema room, cellar, kitchen, pantry, and staff quarters.

Pool House & Barbeque Area — 150 sqm, with a 24m x 6.5m swimming pool, covered parking, kitchen, and barbeque area.

Equestrian Infrastructure — 6 private stables of striking architectural design, staff rooms, a tack room, a professional manège, and 6 paddocks — positioned so you can watch your horses while swimming in the pool.

The 18,000 sqm grounds carry the estate’s own olive grove, producing enough oil each year to cover a 10-person family’s needs.
