Rural building plot, nicely positioned in the quiet agricultural area of Lakonia, west of Agios Nikolaos, Crete, very close to the Department of Management Science and Technology of the Hellenic Mediterranean University.

One part of the land (720 m2 in size) is positioned inside the village building zone of Marnellides and has the planning permission (allowance) for a large house or several houses of up to 400 m2, built on one or two floors, plus basement.
Enough space would be left to make swimming pool(s), pergolas, parking space, garden, etc..

The other part of the land (1859 m2) is outside the village building zone, thus not buildable. It is, however, suitable for agricultural use, landscaping, open outdoor facilities.

The land enjoys views of the countryside and the surrounding hills and mountains.

It has road access, and electricity, water supply and telephone lines with broadband internet are right on site and can be connected as soon as a building license has been issued.

The village of Marnellides is situated within a big agricultural valley with 11 traditional Cretan villages in total. This beautiful, tranquil area offers lots of nice and easy routes for hiking and cycling.

In short walking distance to the Department of Management Science and Technology of the Hellenic Mediterranean University.
Only approx. a 10-minute drive from the center of Agios Nikolaos and several organized sandy beaches.
About 45-50 minutes from the international airport of Heraklion.

Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the county Lasithi and is located at the Mirabello Bay, north-east Crete, only 40 mins away from the international airport of Heraklion.
Geographically the town is well protected from strong winds allowing sea sports and swimming nearly all year round.
Although Agios Nikolaos has a population of less than 20,000 it has several banks, supermarkets, shops of every kind, doctors, a modern hospital of high standard, public swimming pool and tennis courts, yacht marina, harbour, cinema, theatre, gyms, a 9-hole golf course, schools ranging from nurseries to 6-level high school and generally all the amenities you would expect to find in a modern European town.
The microclimate is one of the best in Greece and the moderate temperatures rarely exceed 30c in summer or fall below 15c in wintertime. This wonderful dry climate together with the natural beauty of the area has attracted most of the high class hotels of Greece to operate here.
