Crete Resale Pool Property

The villa for sale is 285m² comprising four (4) separate apartments and comes with private swimming pool of 40m². If one wishes to generate some income out of renting to holiday makers, an EOT licence has to be applied for.

The clean living space of the villa is 200m² whilst the rest surface of 85m² is containing the basements (47m²; 38m²) with multipurpose space and technical room.

Due to its position in the land, the 1st floor of the villa is the main area and a stone patio to a covered terrace is leading to the

2-Bedroom apartment of 77m² where an arch from the hall takes you into the air-conditioned open plan living area with kitchen, pitched timber ceiling, window and sliding doors to balcony overlooking the swimming pool and the "Lefka Ori"). The imported English kitchen includes split-level single electric oven, 5-ring gas hob and built-in extractor fan. The hallway continues to the Master Bedroom with air conditioning and to the 2nd bedroom (both overlooking the "Lefka Ori") and finally the shower room with walled shower area, bidet, basin and toilet, non-slip floor tiles and extraction unit.

Location

The property for sale is set on own land of 4.000 m² in a peaceful new residential area, at the top of a hillside enjoying panoramic views of the Souda Bay, the Cretan Sea, and the "Lefka Ori"” (White Mountains), and is just 1km away from the centre of the village with its amenities and a small drive down to the beach.

The village is located away from the hustle of the towns and tourists. It is an unspoilt Cretan village with view of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), and has maintained its traditional architectural style. One will find some interesting churches, clearly showing the traditional architecture of the buildings in the area. The hospitality and the way of life the Cretan people used to lead before the burst of tourism is captured in these villages as a present way of life.

The area is very scenic, having maintained its traditional character, mainly due to the attentive restoration of old buildings. In 1995 a group of villagers started a project to preserve the traditional way of life. With funds from the European Union, they started a project to showcase the crafts and products of the region and restored old stone buildings using traditional materials and crafts and turned them into guest houses.
