This unique property combines a range of features that will likely enchant you—or, at the very least, certainly pique your interest. It is a luxurious villa built along the ridge of a hill, nestled among olive groves just south of the expansive Kavros beach. The house spans three levels, offering comfort and absolute privacy. Constructed with stone, the building showcases prominent elements of Mediterranean architecture, beautifully complemented by its meticulously designed outdoor spaces.

The house is visible only from a distance, as it is hidden within the surrounding olive groves. Access to the property is through a metal electric gate, followed by a driveway that winds through the villa’s private olive grove, leading to the front of the house. Around the villa, there are approximately 25 mature, productive olive trees—enough to meet the olive oil needs of a large family. Additional trees have been planted, providing the household with a variety of fresh fruits. The property features two spacious parking areas on opposite sides of the building, which, due to the slope of the terrain, provide direct access to the ground floor and the upper level, respectively.

Built on the sea-facing side, the property’s centerpiece is a large private swimming pool with an adjacent children’s section, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and ample space for lounging under the Cretan sun. The outdoor space is further enhanced by themed flower gardens, a built-in barbecue with a shaded dining area, and a detached 28 m² storehouse. Many years ago, the plot played a significant role in the area’s historic past as a threshing site. A traditional stone threshing circle, already present before the villa’s construction, has been preserved and elegantly incorporated into the garden.

All three levels of the house are internally connected, and the two lower levels also feature direct access to the garden. The ground floor has been designed to be fully accessible for wheelchair users, complete with a specially equipped bathroom for individuals with disabilities. The lower level comprises three spacious bedrooms, a breakfast kitchen, two bathrooms, and a utility-laundry room.

The main entrance is on the immediately upper floor, which is largely open-plan in a "Π" shape, with spaces divided conceptually by traditional stone arches. The kitchen features plenty of cabinets, a large marble countertop, a large 10-seat dining table and all necessary modern appliances. In the living room, a large stone fireplace with impressive carved detailing takes center stage. Along the northern façade of the house, large French doors lead to a spacious covered veranda with views of the lush surrounding area. The upper and final floor has been divided into two luxurious bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet and its own ensuite bathroom. They both share large balconies, as well as a spacious sitting and library area.

The villa comes fully furnished, offering a seamless and hassle-free move-in experience. The first floor features polished wooden floors, contrasting with the natural cream-colored tiling found throughout the rest of the house. Underfloor heating and central radiators ensure year-round comfort, while integrated air conditioning units in the bedrooms enhance the home’s climate control. The property is further complemented by a solar panel for hot water, and double-glazed windows, contributing to energy efficiency. Additionally, the villa benefits from a tourist license and a significant annual rental income, making it a perfect investment opportunity.

Within walking distance, the nearby village is very picturesque and has cafes, taverns and a well-equipped mini market. Within less than 5 km away is the long beach of Kavros, which offers many options with quiet spaces and areas with facilities. Here, you will find a big supermarket and several shops. The seaside small town of Georgioupolis, which is within 15 minutes' drive, has a bank, bakeries, pharmacies, many traditional taverns and more. The cities of Rethymnon and Chania are about 30 and 50 minutes' drive, respectively while the airport of the prefecture about 1 hour's drive.
