Stone house in Drapanos, Chania – Exclusive property with stunning sea views and large plot of land

This exclusive stone house in Drapanos, near Chania in Crete, offers a unique living experience with breathtaking views of the sea and Souda Bay. Built in 2000, the property is situated on a spacious 9,000 m² plot that resembles a private forest full of native trees and bushes. With a total living area of 198.41 m² and two additional storage rooms (84.49 m² and 20.20 m²), the house offers plenty of space and various possibilities for use. The main house is situated on a hill and features a spacious, open-plan living and cooking area with unobstructed views of the turquoise sea and spectacular sunsets. A few steps lead to the bedrooms, two of which are on one level and another in the attic area. A bathroom completes this living area. The house is surrounded by large verandas and balconies, inviting you to relax and enjoy the salty sea air and magnificent panoramic views of the mountains, sea and surrounding countryside.

The basement area is currently used for storage, but offers potential for a useful extension of the living space – for example, as an additional living area, bedroom, TV room or fitness room. Access is convenient via a paved main road, paved driveways and a dirt road at the rear of the property. The entire property is securely fenced and has ample parking with direct access.

This property is ideal for nature lovers who seek the privacy and tranquillity of a green environment, yet appreciate the proximity to several town centres for shopping, restaurants and beaches. A unique opportunity to combine the authentic Cretan lifestyle with a house offering great potential and spectacular natural surroundings!

Drapanos is an idyllic little village in Apokoronas, about 3 km from Kokkino Chorio. With its traditional atmosphere, it offers authentic Cretan country life. In the village you will find a welcoming tavern, a mini market and several cafés. Further shopping and dining options are available in the nearby villages of Kokkino Chorio and Plaka, which are easily accessible by car. The Apokoronas region, located at the foot of the White Mountains in the north-east of Chania, is one of the greenest and most scenic areas of Crete. Popular leisure destinations include the sandy beaches of Kalyves, Almyrida and Georgioupolis, which invite visitors with their clear waters and fine sand. Hiking and cycling tours in the mixture of mountains and coastal landscape offer pure enjoyment of nature.

The region also boasts cultural highlights such as Lake Kournas, the island's only freshwater lake, and the ancient site of Aptera overlooking Souda Bay. Regional specialities from Crete invite you to explore the local cuisine – fresh fish, olive oil and traditional dishes characterise the local cuisine.

Drapanos is located about 10 minutes by car from Almyrida Beach, around 40 km from Chania Airport and approx. 30 km from Souda Ferry Port, making it easy to reach other destinations. This combination of nature, culture and infrastructure makes the location particularly attractive for property buyers in Crete.
