Description

Situated in a convenient village location just a short walk from the centre and all local amenities, this property offers a rare opportunity for buyers looking to undertake a full renovation project while benefiting from additional building potential.

The plot measures approximately 551.89m² and benefits from a total building allowance of 200m², providing excellent flexibility for redevelopment or extension. Existing structures range between approximately 88m² and 137m², leaving an estimated remaining build potential of around 60–115m² depending on the final design and planning approach. The property also benefits from direct road access and clear legal division, making the development process more straightforward.

The main house currently consists of two large rooms full of traditional character and potential. The larger of the two features a mezzanine level, currently used as a sleeping area, which also enjoys a small sea view—an attractive feature that could be enhanced further during renovation.

Connected to the main building is an additional smaller structure currently used as the shower room and WC, adding further practicality to the existing layout and offering multiple renovation possibilities.

In addition to the main house, the property also includes a separate structure currently in ruin condition, creating further opportunities for guest accommodation, studio space, storage, or expansion subject to renovation plans.

The entire property requires full renovation, giving the new owner complete freedom to redesign and modernise according to their own vision while preserving the authentic village atmosphere. The generous plot size also creates opportunities for landscaped gardens, outdoor living areas, or additional structures.

Its location is a major advantage, with tavernas, cafes, shops, and all village amenities accessible on foot, making the property suitable for year-round living, a holiday home, or a rental investment project.

Properties with this combination of existing structures, additional building allowance, village access, and renovation potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find in sought-after areas of Crete.

About CostAnita Villas, Kalyves

Kalyves Centre Kalyves Chania, Crete 73003 Greece

Costanita Villas is a family business run and owned by local businessman Kosta Krasaki and his Australian wife Anita.

As Kosta is a local guy, growing up in Chania, Gavalochori and Almyrida he has extensive knowledge of the local area and a good idea of property opportunities that are available.

Kosta started out working in hospitality for his family business. At the age of 10 years old he began working as a labourer for a local builder to pass the winter months until the Taverna reopened. He realised early on that general maintenance was an ongoing part of hospitality and decided to take on the responsibility himself. He learned the skills of general maintenance and was doing all kinds of repairs with either wood, metal or plumbing. He has been in and out of the building industry ever since.

Kosta’s first major project was building the family home in Almyrida. The following project was 2 luxury villas in Gavalochori and then on to another traditional villa in Gavalochori which was completely renovated and sub divided into 2 separate dwellings.

Kosta’s experience in the building trade grew after meeting Anita. Every winter they travel back to Australia were Kosta works as a carpenter/builder increasing his level of skill. Whether it be building Villas in Crete or luxury homes in Australia, Kosta is always ready to take on a new project.

Anita grew up outside of Sydney, Australia and has been in the hospitality trade for many years. Starting out as a Pizza Chef way back when she was 14yrs old she has now worked in 3 different countries running busy Wine Bars, Cafs, Pubs Hotels and Tavernas.

Anita and her mother Janelle had 2 very successful country Hotels in Kent, U.K for a period of 10yrs. Both had B+B facilities, one hotel with 8 letting rooms and the other with 18 letting rooms. It was Anita’s involvement in the maintenance, renovating and decorating aspect of this side of the business that started Anita thinking about the property industry.

And so Costanita Villas was created.
