Chania, Chania, Crete, Greece

The property is in an extremely picturesque spot in a quiet neighborhood, close to the road that leads to the famous Elafonisi. It consists of four parts that include the main house of 134 m² on the first floor, a beautiful independent guest house on the ground floor of 80 m², a building on the first floor of 62 m² that is not configured and a dilapidated residence of 160 m² that is also not configured. The spaces have been constructed with care and with respect to the traditional character of the building and the result is impressive and with a warm atmosphere. The property is an excellent choice with great potential, either if you are looking for a residence in the area or if you want to make a new professional start.

A picturesque cobbled alley leads to the property while a few meters away there is a space, where you can park your vehicle. At the frontage of the building we find a big plane tree that provides shade and creates a cool environment up to the terrace of the upper floor. From the cobbled alley we enter directly into the guest house on the ground floor, the previous use of which was an olive oil factory while an external staircase leads separately to the upper floor. Inside, we find an extremely large open-plan space dominated by a central wood stove, the old millstone that is used as a living room table as well as a large arch that opens onto the courtyard. At the back are the bathroom with shower as well as a bedroom with a walk-in closet. The courtyard of the ground floor is shared with the large ruined residence, which is arranged over two levels.

Before entering the main house we find a large terrace. The big plane tree provides shade in a large part of it, while from everywhere the views are impressive towards the verdant surrounding hills. Inside, we find an entrance hall, which has been configured and is used as a bedroom. The living area of the house is located in the next space in its center and connects all the rooms. Also here we find interesting elements, such as the old "parasia" (a fireplace area where the food was traditionally cooked) of the house as well as the niches in the wall, where the pitchers were placed so that there was water inside the house. Two separate doors lead from the living area to a bedroom with its own bathroom as well as the kitchen at the back. The kitchen has, among other things, a fully functional wood-burning oven of impressive construction. From the kitchen we go to the last bedroom of the residence, which also has its own bathroom.

The back side of the house faces a second courtyard with complete privacy and full of flowers. From here, we go a little higher to the last part of the building that is not configured, which can become a beautiful two-bedroom apartment with a large yard. An external staircase leads to an unexpected "hidden" garden, on a level of the plot slightly higher and behind the residence. This space has been designed in order to offer privacy, views and several areas suitable for relaxation under the shade or the hot summer sun all day long. Here, you will find enough fruit trees, olive trees, space to create a small vegetable garden as well as a storehouse for garden tools.

The property is suitable for business or holiday use and if you want to live in nature, away from the noises and the overtourism. In about 2 km you will find mini markets that are open all year round as well as some taverns. Within a radius of up to 10 minutes' drive, you will find countless beautiful villages that are worth exploring as well as the lesser known beach of Stomio, which is pebbly and great for enjoying the sunset. The famous Elafonisi is about 20 minutes' drive away. Within 5 minutes are the villages of Elos and Kefali, which have a bakery, pharmacy and many taverns with traditional cuisine. For anything else, the small town of Kissamos, which has all kinds of shops and services, is about 45 minutes' drive away. The city center of Chania is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes' drive away.
