Charming detached house with a garden in a quiet location near Chania, Crete

This charming property in Vamvakopoulo, an attractive suburb of Chania in Crete, offers a welcoming living experience in a peaceful and established neighbourhood. Set on a 250 m² fully fenced plot, this classic detached house features a living area of 79 m² as well as a separate outbuilding of 18 m², currently used as a comfortable guest house. The property is suitable both as a stable-value primary residence and as an attractive investment property for holiday rentals due to its location close to the town centre.

The spacious and well-maintained garden, featuring mature trees and a profusion of flowers, is ideal for relaxing outdoors and offers a high degree of privacy thanks to the surrounding buildings and its elevated position. The house is accessed via a central hallway, providing quick access to all rooms, including the bright living and dining area, two cosy bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and a functional kitchen with high-quality fitted units and a marble sink.

A particularly practical highlight is the separate storage room in the back garden, accessible via the kitchen, as well as the possibility of building an extension of up to 53 m² on the plot to realise individual future plans. The metal external staircase leading to the roof also offers a charming view of the surrounding natural landscape and the neighbourhood.

The built-in air conditioning ensures a pleasant living environment, whilst further details such as shutters and several parking spaces not far from the quiet side street provide additional comfort and security. This property skilfully combines the advantages of a quiet country life with proximity to the lively town of Chania, making it a first-class residential opportunity in Crete.

Vamvakopoulo is situated just a stone’s throw from the centre of Chania on the island of Crete, one of Greece’s most charming regions. Thanks to its proximity to the town centre, this convenient location offers the perfect blend of urban amenities and rural tranquillity. A variety of shops for everyday needs are within easy reach, as are restaurants serving Cretan culinary specialities such as fresh fish, olive oil dishes and traditional meze.

The surrounding area offers a variety of activities, with several well-known beaches – such as the famous Balos, Elafonissi and Falassarna – just a short drive away, making the region particularly attractive to nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Walks, jogs or bike rides take you through the nearby picturesque hills and unspoilt country lanes.

Cultural attractions are also well worth exploring, including the Historical Museum of Crete and the old Venetian harbour district of Chania. For medical care, the nearest hospital in Chania is just a few minutes away. The excellent connections to Chania International Airport and the port ensure easy access for arrivals and departures, as well as for exciting excursions to western Crete and beyond.
