Charming village house with large garden in Kounali, Crete

This charming and rural village house with approx. 90 m² of living space extends over two floors on a spacious 500 m² plot and offers an idyllic retreat in Kounali, a quiet village in the heart of Lasithi, Crete. The house impresses with an open floor plan on the ground floor, which harmoniously connects the kitchen, living and dining areas and is complemented by a bright bathroom with shower. An internal staircase leads to the first floor, where the cosy master bedroom is located – ideal for a private and relaxing retreat.

A particularly attractive feature is the option to flexibly extend the living space. Above the living room, a charming additional room of up to 20 m² can be built, either in wood or iron, as desired. The cost of this extension can be included in the purchase price if required. The property therefore offers ideal opportunities to adapt it to individual needs, whether as a permanent home, an idyllic holiday residence or a high-yield investment.

The property has a remote-controlled iron gate that leads to a parking area covered by a cosy pergola. The outdoor area has been designed with great attention to detail, with paved paths leading through flowering gardens with olive and fruit trees, aromatic herbs, cacti and a private vegetable garden. A spacious terrace with a built-in barbecue invites you to relax outdoors, enjoy convivial meals or spend relaxing moments in the greenery.

In addition, the flat roof is accessible via an external staircase and equipped with state-of-the-art solar technology and a boiler, ensuring a sustainable and efficient energy supply. This house combines traditional Cretan charm with modern comfort and an attractive living concept that offers a private lifestyle and a wide range of uses.

This property is a rarity in the region, combining privacy, idyllic nature right next to the house and interesting expansion possibilities. Perfect for families, couples or individuals seeking peace and quiet who appreciate the gentle rhythm of life in Crete and want to live there.

The house is located in the picturesque village of Kounali, nestled in the rolling hills of Lasithi in Crete. Kounali is characterised by its peaceful and authentic village structure with only a few permanent residents and retains its traditional, charming character.
