Kokkino Chorio Apokoronas, Chania, Crete, Greece

The property is located in the settlement of Palailoni, within the municipal unit of Vamos in the municipality of Apokoronas. It is a traditional stone house of 122 m², fully restored, with an additional independent guesthouse of 37 m² that was added in 2002. The property is of a high standard and is surrounded by extensive landscaped gardens and courtyards. The two buildings have been designed to be independent of each other, giving you the opportunity to live in one while renting out the other, either for tourism or as a long-term residence.

The plot is fully enclosed, making it ideal if you wish to contain pets or provide your children with a large, secure play area. Access is provided through a pedestrian gate, or through an electric entrance gate from which you can park your vehicle. There is also remaining building capacity on the land, more than enough should you wish to extend the existing buildings. Additionally, the property offers the possibility of subdivision, allowing for the construction of independent residences for investment or resale, with the existing buildings positioned near the boundaries so as not to interfere with any future development. The maximum building capacity of the plot is up to 720 m² for residential use or 1150 m² for professional tourist use. While the current owners did not take advantage of these benefits, the potential remains available at any time in the future.

The private swimming pool was built in 2016, measures 49 m² and is located next to the guesthouse. Its elongated shape, with one side reaching 15 m, makes it suitable for swimming. Around the pool there is a large sunbathing area, elevated to provide unobstructed views of the White Mountains. In addition to the two main buildings, you will also find the pool's engine room and three auxiliary storage spaces of 5 m², 13 m², and 7 m², suitable for storing tools and garden furniture during winter. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with numerous plants and pathways, and among other features, there is also a mini tennis court. The guesthouse includes a living room with kitchen, one bedroom, and a bathroom. It functions completely independently with its own entrance from the road, its own solar water heater, air conditioning, and an electric heater in the bedroom.

The main house is primarily on one level, with the exception of a loft above the living room, designed as an additional sitting area, which can very easily be converted into the property's fourth bedroom. A short corridor from the main entrance leads to two bedrooms, a large central bathroom with a bathtub, as well as the open-plan living and dining area, which features a fireplace and an impressively high wooden ceiling. One of the bedrooms is the master, complete with an en-suite shower room. The kitchen is separate, equipped with a large counter, numerous cupboards, and a gas stove. The building has been restored with respect to its original character and includes many charming traditional features. From the living room, there is access to a large covered veranda facing south towards the mountains. On the northern side, there is another courtyard with steps leading up to the rooftop terrace. One of the auxiliary spaces is accessible through the courtyard, and includes a full bathroom and has been designed as a laundry room.

The property is equipped with central heating via radiators and an oil boiler, air conditioning in two of the bedrooms, a solar water heater in each building, ceiling fans, reserve water tanks, and an old well that is still used for watering the garden. Part of the existing furniture and appliances will remain in the property and is included in the selling price.
