Kokkino Chorio, Apokoronas, Chania, Crete

The property is located in Kokkino Chorio, a traditional settlement in the Apokoronas region, known for its strong character and its appealing mix of stone-built farmhouses and contemporary villas. The plot lies along the southern boundary of the village’s residential zone, just a short walk from the center, while still maintaining close proximity to the unspoiled natural landscape that surrounds the area.

A valid building permit has already been issued and is included with the property, allowing for the immediate construction of a luxury residence with a swimming pool. The approved design provides for a two-bedroom main house, a separate sauna building, an outdoor storage area, and a private 31 m² swimming pool. The villa is positioned centrally within the plot, while the size and layout of the land allow for a good level of privacy. The existing plans can, of course, be modified to suit individual requirements, while benefiting from the time saved by the already approved permit.

Access to the property is straightforward via an asphalt road running along its eastern boundary. The land has a gentle north-facing slope, ensuring open views towards the sea, and is arranged in broad, level terraces supported by traditional dry-stone walls. To the south, the outlook is equally appealing, extending towards the Drapanos hill above the village and further to the ridge line of the White Mountains in the distance. Within the plot, there is an old stone threshing floor, along with approximately 42 mature olive trees. Most of the trees are unaffected by the current architectural plans, and those that remain are more than sufficient to cover the olive oil needs of an average household.

The surrounding area is a mix of vacation and luxury villas, though olive groves and natural local vegetation dominate the landscape, giving the location a peaceful, authentic feel. Inside and around the village, there are countless places of historical interest from the era of the Second World War. The nearest beach is Koutalas, which is about 2 km away. Kokkino Chorio is beautiful and has taverns, mini markets, and cafés. About 3 km away from the property is the sandy beach of Almyrida, which has facilities, many restaurants and cafés along it. Within 15 minutes' drive, you will find the seaside, small town of Kalives, where there is also a beach as well as all kinds of shops and services. The city of Chania and the airport are approximately 40 and 45 minutes' drive, respectively.
