Sfakia, Chania, Crete, Greece

The house is in a secluded location about 20 minutes east of Chora Sfakion and about 10 minutes' drive north of the popular Frangokastello. It is on the edge of a traditional village, which has been largely abandoned and only a few of the houses have been restored. Only a traditional cobbled alley passes through the village. The house is the last in the village and there is an asphalt road about 300 m away. The path to the property passes through centuries-old olive groves that face towards the sea and is extremely picturesque while it could be described as a journey through time that creates many emotions as well as a rare opportunity to experience a piece of traditional Cretan culture and lifestyle that have not been spoiled.

The property is owned by artists and has been renovated with great love and respect for its architectural style and character. It is divided into two parts, with the main house of 181 m² and a separate guest house of 40 m² while there is also an additional external storehouse of 8 m². The plot is completely fenced and ideal if you want to keep your pets there. In addition, like the entire village, this house is also suitable for your children to play safely and freely away from cars. The surrounding area of the residence is landscaped with paved courtyards, paths, terraces where you can cultivate your vegetables and fruits as well as a section where the soil has been preserved in its wild natural form. The entire property faces southwest so it has plenty of light and also panoramic and unobstructed views up to the sea in the distance.

The property has many features that make it unique and special elements that make it suitable for tourist use. Alternatively, if you buy it for personal use as a holiday home, it can definitely provide you complete tranquility in a rare environment, away from the fast pace of the modern lifestyle. Around the village there are many hiking trails and the wider area offers many options for nature lovers. On the nearby southern coastlines of the island you will find many taverns by the sea, and some well-stocked mini markets that are open all year round. The city of Chania is about 1.5 hours' drive away and Rethymnon 1 hour and 20 minutes.
