Description
This luxurious three-storey villa (395.11 sq.m.), built on a hill above the villages of Atsipopoulo and Prines, enjoys a rare, fully secured, unobstructed 360-degree panoramic view. Spacious terraces offer breathtaking views of the blue Cretan Sea and the Venetian Fortress of Rethymno to the north, as well as the distant Chania Airport and the natural harbor of Souda Bay to the west.
The sun rises over beautiful rolling hills covered with oak forests, olive groves, and meadows. To the west, the peaks of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori), rising to 2,500 meters, remain snow-capped from spring until early summer, while to the south, Mount Kedros is covered in snow during the winter months.
The town of Rethymno is just 10 minutes by car, while the endless sandy beaches of northern Crete are approximately 20 minutes away. The villages of Prines and Atsipopoulo are only 5 minutes away.
The 4,100 sq.m. plot includes a vineyard planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional Cretan grape varieties (Kotsifali and Romaiiko), ideal for wine production, as well as white and rosé varieties for consumption. The beautifully landscaped gardens also feature a small koi pond, an olive grove with 26 mature trees, and a wide variety of fruit trees, including apple, plum, quince, mulberry, carob, Seville orange, lemon, almond, small purple figs, and a century-old large green fig tree.
This unique and tranquil hilltop villa sits at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, offering unparalleled views. All three levels feature large windows and glass balcony doors, allowing abundant natural light throughout the day. Each floor has its own independent entrance. Living areas and terraces are finished with classic Greek grey marble flooring with white marble details, while the bathrooms feature artistically designed Italian tiles in soft, neutral tones. The two upper floors are equipped with air-conditioning/heating, although air-conditioning is rarely required.
A neighboring 1,500 sq.m. plot to the south can be used as an extension of the olive grove and vineyard or converted into a recreational area, such as a tennis or basketball court.
