Unconverted 3 bedroom detached house for sale in Voukolies, Chania

€ 70,000*

The property includes an old house which was built around the mid-19th century on 1,725 m² of land, as well as two other smaller plots right across from the house, 373 m² and 187 m². The property has 35 olive trees in total, many of which are 100-200 years old. The property is located on the fringe of a tiny village cut off from the rest of the houses and it is accessed by a 150 m of dirt road. Within 10 km there is the village of Voukolies which has several amenities, banks and mini markets.

The house is arranged over two floors. The ground floor is 44 m² and it is accessed by an external staircase and through a 30 m² terrace that faces northeast. It is open plan, it exits to a small northwest balcony and part of its tiled roof has collapsed. The lower floor consists of three spacious rooms and an old bathroom which is detached from the main house. The ground floor has some old furniture and one of the rooms in the basement has a massive wood-fired oven made of firebricks.

The way that the stones are built is masterful and the home, although it has undergone some minor interventions, is a fine example of the architecture of its era. The location is spectacular and from the plot you can constantly listen to the water from a stream that meanders about 100 m from the house. The lush and remote surroundings, the huge and aged trees and the smells and sounds of nature add great value to this beautiful property.
