Description

This is a totally private country estate with 2 bed/2 bath main house, artist studio, 2 bed guest apartment, pool with mountain and sea views on 4,119 sqm of land close to Almyrida Beach. The main land size is 3,929 sqm on one side of the agricultural road and 190 sqm on the opposite side over the track.

The Main House with 2 bed/2 bath/office/artist studio
The entrance door opens into a small hallway, leading into the truly impressive open-plan living and dining area with a feature stone arch.
Patio doors open onto the front terrace, overlooking the pool, pine forests and olive groves below, towards the sea.
Set to the side of the living room is a fitted kitchen, while a separate hallway leads to the master bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
Further along the corridor is a guest bathroom and, at the far end, a spacious room currently used as an office.
Through the office you come to a second, smaller bedroom with patio doors opening directly onto the garden.
The layout offers flexibility for family living, visiting guests or those wishing to work from home.
Artist’s Studio + 2 bed/1 bath Apartment
Adding to the property’s versatility is a light and airy artist’s studio, accessed from the main house or through its own front door from the garden, providing total independence.
Stairs lead up from this area to a separate, self-contained apartment.
Arranged over two levels, it features a lounge/sleeping area, a kitchen and dining space, and an upper mezzanine bedroom.
Patio doors open onto a private terrace with stunning views across the surrounding countryside towards the distant sea.
A further staircase leads to a charming turret-style roof garden, creating yet another special spot from which to enjoy the scenery.
This independent accommodation opens up a wealth of possibilities for extended family, visiting friends, a potential rental opportunity or, exactly as it is, for the artistic and creative who want their own space.
Outside
Gardens, Terraces & Swimming Pool
This villa offers complete privacy.
Approached through entry gates and along a driveway, the villa sits towards the rear of its generous plot, with space for parking multiple vehicles. The forest area through the field gate is magical and has beautiful mountain views from the far side.
The extensive grounds have the atmosphere of a private rural estate, with paths leading to flower and fragrant herb gardens, an abundance of fruit trees including pomegranate, apricot, lemon and orange, shaded seating areas and generous terraces perfect for long lunches and relaxed evenings.
Running along the front of the house, an impressive terrace provides room for outdoor dining, entertaining and lounging.
To the side is a patio with a small stone barbecue area and dining table, adding to its Mediterranean appeal.
Steps lead down to the oval swimming pool and surrounding pool area, where the countryside views to the sea provide a beautiful backdrop for watching the sunset.
Beyond the pool, further steps descend into a field with olive trees, offering considerable scope, whether planted with more olive, bay and fruit trees, developed into productive vegetable gardens and livestock for self-sufficient living, or used to create a small retreat with yurts or glamping accommodation. The possibilities are numerous.
Location
This peaceful setting is surprisingly convenient. Despite its rural position, you can walk to Almyrida Beach, Aspro or Gavalochori village within 30 minutes, or drive there in about 5 minutes.

This is a truly distinctive property, offering far more than a traditional country home. Its combination of character stone construction, authentic architectural details, independent accommodation, studio space, swimming pool, extensive terraces and 4,119 sqm of land makes it a rare find.

Peaceful, private and immersed in nature, yet conveniently close to the coast, this is a property with genuine individuality and enormous potential. It can be used as a wonderful country home, a multi-generational family estate or a unique destination for holiday rentals, wellness retreats or creative escapes.

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.
