Xirosterni, Apokoronas, Traditional Old House with Renovation Potential

A beautiful traditional old house located in the charming village of Xirosterni, in the Apokoronas area of Chania, Crete.

The property consists of approximately 130 sq.m. of existing buildings, situated on a generous plot of 860 sq.m. The house is in need of renovation and offers excellent potential for restoration, allowing its traditional character to be preserved while creating a comfortable and beautiful home.

One of the property’s main advantages is its excellent location and attractive views towards the surrounding mountains. As the property is located within the village, the plot also offers approximately 250 sq.m. of additional building potential, providing the possibility of extending the existing residence or creating an additional building, subject to the applicable planning regulations.

The property is particularly interesting because of its layout and outdoor spaces. At the front of the house, on the southern side of the plot, there is a beautiful traditional stone cistern. This part of the property enjoys lovely views towards the mountains.

At the rear of the house, on the northern side, lies the larger part of the plot with a traditional wine press (patitiri) and several mature trees. This area provides additional space for landscaping or, if desired, the construction of another building, making the property suitable for a variety of uses and future development possibilities.

The house is located very close to the centre of Xirosterni, a peaceful traditional Cretan village with charming local cafés and a relaxed atmosphere. It is also only a short drive from the larger and well-known village of Vamos, offering shops, services and everyday amenities.

The beautiful beaches of the Apokoronas coastline are approximately 14 minutes away by car.           This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to create a genuine traditional Cretan home in an authentic village setting, combining the character of an old stone property with generous outdoor space and significant renovation and development potential.

A property with character, privacy and possibilities — ideal for those who wish to experience the authentic Cretan way of life, surrounded by mountains, traditional villages, sunny days and the beautiful beaches of northern Crete.
