Description
This is a large renovated house of 269 sqm sitting on a 4000 sqm plot of land with a private pool, olive grove and mountain views in a charming rural location.
We are delighted to offer this unique house full of charm and character, suiting anyone wanting to live in a traditional village in an unusually large house and land away from the hustle of the more touristic areas.
The Villa offers many options: as a spacious home in a tranquil location, living totally self sufficiently off the land, or an investment project as a guest house (particularly for walkers) or perhaps running retreats or workshops in a private location. The property also offers the opportunity for inter-generational living offering a fully accessible downstairs bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Ground floor: Enter into the ‘family’ living area with the lounge and a wood burning stove, dining area and a very spacious fully fitted kitchen. A back door from the lounge leads to the covered terrace, pool and gardens. A door leads to the more formal living area with dining space and lounge, with second log burner. There is a second entrance door here. To the left of this room is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. At the back of the lounge down a curved step, under a stone arch, is a guest bathroom and stairs going up to the 1st floor.
First floor: enter into a room with vaulted ceiling currently used as an office but potentially the second bedroom. There is a bathroom with shower here. A mezzanine level offers yet more sleeping space, alternatively an office or storage area. Patio doors take you to the covered balcony with weather proofing blinds, overlooking the gardens, olive grove and mountains.
A corridor leads to a master bedroom with another en suite bathroom. With several entrances, the Villa has the potential to be multifunctional either as it is, one large home or several separate units.
Outside: The property is fully enclosed by 2 electrically operated remotely controlled iron gates. There is pedestrian access via an additional manually operated lockable gate. To the front of the house is off road parking for 2 cars plus a covered car port, flower beds and to the side, storage sheds. A covered front veranda with arches gives shade and space for boots and shoes, etc by the two entrance doors.
The 1st floor veranda is covered, with stairs leading down to the pool and garden area. The back covered terrace is set for outdoor dining, and across the lawn is the private swimming pool with sun deck. Beyond the lawn and pool, the tiered herb/vegetable beds and fruit trees, you have a private olive grove annually providing approx 400 litres of organic olive oil.
The house is made of local stone, with wooden beams in the ceilings, stone arches, stained glass windows on the internal doors, locally made furniture, numerous pots full of brightly coloured flowers, everywhere you look you find yet another beautiful feature! With an additional 131 sqm of building density the Villa and plot has even more potential as you could build a second house, or divide the existing villa into smaller units for rental.
Location: Nippos is well known for its 2 excellent tavernas which are walking distance from the Villa, the wonderful nature walks and Green landscape. Feeling very authentically Cretan you can reach one of the biggest towns in the area by foot, or Georgeopoulis beach in 15 mins by car.
