Cretan Countryside Haven

Discover refined villa serenity, embraced by verdant nature. In the charming village of Maza, in the prefecture of Chania, this 147 sqm villa with an additional 35 sqm storage facility sits on a 2,100 sqm plot and blends traditional style with modern comforts.

The ground floor welcomes you with an open-plan living and dining area, complete with an energy-efficient fireplace. A beautifully crafted stone arch elegantly separates the fully equipped kitchen. A couple of steps lead to three bedrooms, including a master with an en-suite bathroom, and two further bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms open directly to the landscaped garden through large glass doors. A flight of stairs lead to the loft, a bright lounge area furnished with two sofa beds and direct access to a spacious balcony. The villa is sold with central heating on diesel, air-conditioning units, a solar water heater, and all modern amenities in place.

The outdoor spaces are framed by a beautifully crafted natural stone wall and open to expansive views of the surrounding landscape. A landscaped garden with colourful, low-maintenance plants and olive trees enhances the setting, while a stone-paved driveway leads to the parking area beside the house. The grounds offer ample space for family activities such as volleyball or golf, as well as quiet corners to relax in privacy and serenity. A barbecue area complements the pool terrace, where the heated, stone-tiled swimming pool functions as the focal point for outdoor living.

Rental potential

The villa has been operating for short-term rentals and is a popular choice for the discerning visitors who wish to experience the authentic Cretan countryside. It can command a premium rate for an extended high season.
