Detached villa with pool and guest apartment in an olive grove

On the edge of the small village of Vainia, Ierapetra, and only a 5-minute drive from the long sandy coast, you will find this large property (3500m2), which has been built to modern standards and is ideal for use as a permanent residence or holiday home.

The house is spread over two floors. On the ground floor there is a guest room/apartment with its own shower room, a gym and a storage room.

The upper floor, the main house, consists of a living/dining room with a modern, energy-efficient fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, two double bedrooms (one of which is now used as an office), a shower room and a large double bedroom with access to the pool terrace and a large bathroom next door.

Outside there is a large swimming pool with pool terrace and coffee and dining areas on the terrace and balcony on the upper level and a large wooden pergola with barbecue and wood-burning oven with a large table and benches in the shade, covered parking for two large cars near the ground-level entrance.

The heated swimming pool has an overflow with waterfall and a built-in Jacuzzi with 32 jets. It also has an automatic chlorination and maintenance system and a newly built, spacious plant room. The outdoor lighting has been renewed and modernised to current standards. All terraces have brand new, modern tiles.
The property has been equipped with a photovoltaic system (net metering) that ensures the energy supply but can be expanded if the owner wishes to switch from net metering to complete autonomy. The house is equipped with central heating (heat pump and radiators inside).

There are small flower gardens and a covered/protected vegetable garden to the south of the house, as well as a large olive grove/fruit garden (70 trees) surrounding the garden. The town of Ierapetra with all shops, banks, hospital, beaches, etc. is only 2 km from the house. The town of Agios Nikolaos is about 30 minutes away by car.

Heraklion International Airport is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away.

Ierapetra is located at the narrowest point of Crete: it is only about fifteen kilometres from the south to the north coast. The largest town on the south coast of Crete is Ierapetra, which is also the southernmost town in Europe. Due to its proximity to Libya and Egypt, it has an African climate. The north wind, Boreas, moderates the heat in summer. The pretty old town with its narrow streets is located around the fishing harbour with its clock tower, harbour fort and small churches. Next to it is the harbour with moorings for ferries, cargo ships and excursion boats. From the old town, it is only a few steps to the long promenade with cafés, taverns and ice cream parlours. Otherwise, Ierapetra is dominated almost exclusively by modern buildings.

The well-maintained sandy and pebble beach begins in the centre and stretches for two kilometres to the east. The gently sloping beach is also ideal for children and offers deckchair and parasol hire.
