Melidoni, Chania, Crete, Greece

We are honoured to be able to present to you these two superb stone homes for sale in Melidoni. We have known the builder and his family since we settled in Crete and have the utmost respect for his stone-masonry and craftsmanship. Homes of this quality are few and far between here ... the builder learned his trade from his father and has built these homes to the very highest standard. Everything from the foundations to the finishing work has been meticulously completed.

The two homes are situated on a forested 1,128 sqm plot at the edge of the village in the foothills of the White Mountains. The main home (Estia) with 105 sqm of living space has two bedrooms on the entry level with the lounge and kitchen on the first floor. The smaller home (Artemis) is one bedroom with 57 sqm of living space. Each home features double-glazed wood windows, traditional stone and hardwood design, wood-beamed ceilings and more. A leisurely viewing is recommended ... it does take time indeed to take in the fully traditional atmosphere of the properties!

Floor plans for the guest house are coming soon, and we will let the photos tell a part of the story. Of course these photos are no substitute for a quiet and contemplative viewing which we will be very pleased to arrange!

Both homes are perfect for permanent living or could be used as holiday homes and offer excellent rental income potential for visitors wishing to avoid the crowded tourist areas. Melidoni, situated in the foothills of the White Mountains, is a pleasant few degrees cooler and less humid than the coastal villages.

The full-service village of Agii Pantes is just a 5 km drive. This village has direct access to the National Road leading to Chania to the west and Rethymnon to the east.
