3 Bed Villa for sale
Paleloni, Chania, Crete, Greece
Full Description
Offering 146 m² of living space, extensive outdoor areas and a peaceful setting, the property is ideal as a permanent home, holiday retreat or rental investment.
Set on the edge of the traditional village of Paleloni, this impressive stone villa offers a rare combination of privacy, beautiful established gardens and far-reaching views across the Aegean Sea, coastline and surrounding mountains.
The villa provides 146 m² of living space on a fully fenced 2,093 m² plot and was built in 2009. The property has been designed in a traditional Cretan style, with stone features, archways and local cypress-beamed ceilings combined with the comfort needed for year-round living.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes three double bedrooms and three bathrooms. On the ground floor is a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, leading through to the main living room where several sets of double doors open directly onto the covered terrace and towards the garden and sea views. A double bedroom and bathroom with walk-in shower are also located on this level.
Upstairs are two further double bedrooms. The master has its own en-suite shower room, while both bedrooms open directly onto the large roof terrace with excellent sea views. A third family bathroom with bathtub and shower completes the upper floor.
However, it is the outdoor space that makes this property particularly special. The gardens have been created by the current owners, one of whom is an award-winning garden designer, and contain an extensive collection of Mediterranean plants, mature olive, pine and cypress trees, colourful bougainvillea, climbing roses and numerous flowering plants.
The private swimming pool sits naturally within the gardens, with an outdoor shower and several terraces and seating areas positioned around the property. There is also a substantial built-in BBQ area with cupboards and sink, creating an excellent space for outdoor cooking, dining and entertaining.
The villa is very well equipped for both summer and winter use, with air conditioning throughout, central heating with a 1,000-litre oil tank, a wood-burning stove and solar water heating. There is also a 5,000-litre backup water tank, automatic garden irrigation, outdoor lighting, a boiler room and useful storage areas.
Private parking is provided with a covered carport together with additional parking spaces. The villa has also been successfully used for holiday rentals during recent seasons, giving buyers the option of continuing this use if desired.
Despite its peaceful countryside position, the property is not isolated. Kefalas is approximately 1.8 km away, offering tavernas and mini-markets, while the beautiful waters of Ombrosgialos Bay are around a six-minute drive. The beaches, restaurants, cafés, shops and other amenities of Almyrida and Kalyves are approximately 15 minutes away by car.
This is a property where the setting is every bit as important as the house itself – a substantial stone villa surrounded by exceptional gardens, with a private pool, extensive outdoor living areas and beautiful sea and mountain views.
