The property boasts a living space of 86 sqm on a private 238 sqm plot that used to be an olive oil mill. The house has been meticulously maintained to retain its traditional Cretan character, while also incorporating elegant and simple finishes. The interior features wooden windows and shutters, doors, and a stone arch connecting the kitchen and dining area. The living room has a cosy wood-burning fireplace and a window that overlooks the front yard.

Upstairs, there is a bathroom serving both bedrooms. The first bedroom has a large handmade wooden wardrobe, and both rooms have balconies with breathtaking views of the green landscape and mountains.

The outdoor area is also impressive, featuring a stone floor and landscaped garden with various plants and a lemon tree. The yard has a shower area and an irrigation system for the garden.

Despite its peaceful location, the house is just 11 km from the popular sandy beaches of Kalyves. The property is suitable for year-round living, as the villages of Apokoronas are also beautiful in the winter. The house is surrounded by other private residences and has a cool temperature year-round, but it also has an air conditioning unit on the upper floor. Additionally, the property has a solar panel for water heating and is being sold furnished.
