This truly amazing stone home has been meticulously renovated and the result is a very pleasurable traditional living experience be it a full-time residence in Crete or just as a stress-free holiday home. Its location is perfect … situated in a very quiet and peaceful area and yet just 1.6 km from the beach at Almerida and 3 km from the lovely traditional village of Gavalochori.
Entry to the property is via a gated driveway off a tarmac village road. The property comprises two separate structures, the main two-storey stone home and a separate conventionally built structure comprising an enclosed garage, a large storeroom, and a separate bedroom with air-conditioning and a shower room.
The home is situated on a 917 sqm plot. The owners have very wisely purchased a 20% share of the adjacent 2,379 sqm plot thereby insuring their privacy and precluding any future blockage of their views. The adjacent plot is being maintained by the owners as an olive grove. The asking price includes both the home on its 917 sqm plot plus the 20% ownership of the adjacent plot. The owners of the 80% interest in the adjacent property are willing to sell should the new owners be interested. The plot plans are included in the photo gallery.
The main residence of 159 sqm has a very spacious and luxurious kitchen, sitting room, and dining area on the ground floor and two large double bedrooms on the first floor. The ground floor has a shower room and the first floor has a luxurious full bath with plenty of linens storage space plus the clothes washer. And as it is a stone home, it is cool inside even on our hottest days and warm in the winter … owners here soon learn the trick of cooling off their homes over the cool nights and keeping blinds closed during the strong sun hours. And of course, we live mostly outdoors during the summers and this home has plenty of covered terraces and shady retreats to enjoy the fine weather and pleasant views! We do not have floor plans of the main home and hope that the photos in the gallery will give a fair introduction its layout and of course a visit to the home is necessary to put everything in place and show its true beauty!
The 44 sqm enclosed garage with workshop and the third bedroom is situated about 13m north of the home. Floor plans for this annex are in the gallery. This is a very valuable addition to the home with great storage space plus private accommodation for guests. The owners have obtained planning permission to alter the garage to make it into a self-contained one-plus bedroom apartment. This option is certainly more suitable for rental opportunities or family visits. The new owners may take over this permission should they desire. Plans for this layout are also included in the photo gallery.
The spa and barbecue area is situated amongst the pine trees between the main residence and garage. There is plenty of private space for a pool should the new owner desire.
