The Riverside Residences

Two Board-Form Concrete Villas For Sale in Konia, Paphos, Cyprus

The Riverside Residences is a two-villa development in Konia, an inland residential area of Paphos, Cyprus. Both homes are currently under construction and share the same distinctive design approach: board-form concrete exterior walls, left exposed, with the imprint of the timber formwork used to cast them still visible in the finished facade. It is a construction technique more commonly associated with architect-led single homes than with small residential developments, and it gives each villa a textured, deliberately unpolished look that sets it apart from the rendered and painted facades typical of the area.

Board-Form Concrete Architecture and Open-Plan Interiors

The exterior treatment is not a surface finish applied afterwards. Board-form concrete is poured directly into timber shuttering, so the wall itself carries the grain and joint lines of the boards used to form it, and the texture reads differently in changing light through the day. Inside, both villas continue the same contemporary language: open-plan living and dining areas designed to keep sightlines long and let daylight move through the interior, with the ground floor forming a single connected living space. High-end materials and finishes run throughout, from flooring to fittings, giving the interiors a considered, unhurried feel that matches the deliberateness of the exterior work.

Villa Layouts: 128 m² of Living Space, Three Bedrooms Each

The two villas — labelled Plot 3 and Plot 4 in the development — are built to almost identical specifications. Each has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate guest WC, with 128.55 m² and 128.73 m² of internal living space respectively. Covered verandas of around 14.7 m² and uncovered outdoor terraces of 11.4–12.2 m² extend the living space outward, bringing each villa’s total built area to roughly 155 m². The plots themselves differ more than the houses do, at 412.5 m² and 441 m², giving one of the two homes noticeably more garden room, though both plots are generously sized for a three-bedroom villa.

Private Pools, Landscaped Gardens and Parking

Outdoor space has been treated as seriously as the interiors. Each villa comes with:

• a private swimming pool of its own, not shared between the two homes
• a landscaped garden, already planted and not left as bare ground for the buyer to finish
• covered and open verandas suited to outdoor dining and shaded seating through the Cyprus summer
• dedicated parking for residents and visitors

Distances From Konia: Beach, Golf, Shops and Paphos Airport

Konia’s inland position keeps the villas away from the coastal traffic and tourist density of central Paphos, while still placing the coast, the airport and the city itself within a short drive:

Living in Konia: A Quiet Village Setting Inland From Paphos

Konia is a residential village area inland from Paphos, not a beachfront resort strip, and that inland position is central to how the development reads. Streets are quieter than the coastal parts of the city, plots are larger, and the pace of daily life is closer to a village than to a holiday development, while shops, a school and restaurants all remain within a couple of kilometres. Construction on both villas is under way, with the finished result matching the raw-concrete design already visible in the development’s plans and renders.

Who The Riverside Residences Suits

This is a small development by design: only two villas, aimed at buyers who want a private, individually built home. The board-form concrete architecture will appeal in particular to buyers drawn to a contemporary, less traditionally Mediterranean look, while the inland Konia setting suits anyone prioritising quiet and space over immediate beachfront access. Whether bought as a permanent residence or as an investment property in Paphos, both villas offer the same three-bedroom layout, private pool and garden, and the same under-construction timeline.
