House for sale in Plaka with sea and mountain view on Crete

The original house is a traditional stone built Cretan house in an old part of Plaka.  It has recently been fully refurbished which, together with the addition of a large comfortable living/dining room, has resulted in a splendidly appointed house. The extension is built to a very high standard with insulation that ensures the house is often cool in the summer with, says the vendors, its air conditioning only occasionally required.  The air conditioning is rarely used at all in the winter as the wood burning stove is all that is required to keep the current owners warm; and that we are told, is normally for less than a ton of logs per year.

This charming traditional house is located in the heart of Plaka, a peaceful and picturesque village in the Apokoronas region of Crete.

It offers the perfect setting for those who appreciate tranquillity, nature, and the beauty of the Cretan countryside.

Inside, the house boasts a bright and spacious living room, perfect for relaxing.

A beautiful stone archway connects the living room to the modern, fully fitted, light-filled kitchen, ideal for everyday cooking and family gatherings.

Another stone arch links the living room to a hallway that leads to two comfortable bedrooms with wooden ceilings, as well as a large fully fitted bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and a skylight that fills the space with natural light.

One of the highlights of this home is the rooftop terrace, which offers breath-taking views of the village, the sea, and the mountains. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee or enjoying the sunset.

The property features two private courtyards, providing both privacy and outdoor space to enjoy.

In the front courtyard, the original outside bathroom remains fully plumbed, having an installed shower and fittings for both a wash basin and a washing machine.  Adjacent there is the original, working WC with its wash basin. Alongside these is a studio/workshop.  This, together with the bathroom and WC could easily be converted, with a small extension, into a comfortable self-contained apartment ideal for guests.

Through the kitchen’s double doors is the rear courtyard; a lovely garden area that is partly crazy paved. In addition there are raised stoned walled, flower beds filled with flowers, shrubs and an olive tree.  There is also a small stone built storage room.

Full of character and traditional charm, this home is ideal for families or anyone looking for a special property in Crete.

It is suitable as a permanent residence or as a holiday home.

Some furniture may be sold subject to negotiation.
