Crete, Lasithi, Áyios Nikólaos, Greece

Set at the west of the cosmopolitan town of Agios Nikolaos on a hill overlooking the bay and city this is an exclusive, gated and walled property only a short drive to the center of the town of Agios Nikolaos and to several sandy beaches.

The property (private plot of 4025m2) has a remote controlled wooden and iron gate giving access to the private driveway which gives access to two garage spots as well as several parking spaces along the property.
It is very private as there are not any houses in the immediate vicinity and the west border of the property is next to a spectacular canyon.

The main villa is a bungalow of 145m2.
The villa comprises a good sized open plan kitchen/living room with kitchen pantry and a guest toilet leading on to a passageway giving access to two bedrooms, a large bathroom, a linen closet and the master bedroom.
The villa has pergolas to the south east (where the main view/sea view is) and a staircase has been designed to lead up to the roof where a roof terrace with pergola will be.

Twelve meters to the main house is the guest villa.
These two structures will be connected via walls with large openings creating an “internal garden”
The guest villa (55m2) comprises an open plan living room/kitchen, a bathroom and a double bedroom.
This will also have a pergola towards the south-east view offering views to the sea, town and to the canyon. There is also a large terrace behind the guest house with spectacular views of the canyon.

There is the possibility to either make two separate pools (one in front of each villa) or just one large one in front of both houses.

To the east of the house there is the covered BBQ area and the paved pathway leads up to a covered external sitting room which could also be made into a guest house if someone would like to. This building is 60m2.

The property is connected to water and electricity (underground connection).

Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the county Lasithi and is located at the Mirabello Bay, north-east Crete, only 40 mins away from the international airport of Heraklion.
Geographically the town is well protected from strong winds allowing sea sports and swimming nearly all year round.
Although Agios Nikolaos has a population of less than 20,000 it has several banks, supermarkets, shops of every kind, doctors, a modern hospital of high standard, public swimming pool and tennis courts, yacht marina, harbour, cinema, theatre, gyms, a 9-hole golf course, schools ranging from nurseries to 6-level high school and generally all the amenities you would expect to find in a modern European town.
The microclimate is one of the best in Greece and the moderate temperatures rarely exceed 30c in summer or fall below 15c in wintertime. This wonderful dry climate together with the natural beauty of the area has attracted most of the high class hotels of Greece to operate here.
