Nipos, Crete 73007

A Serene And Massive Villa In Nippos This is a large renovated house of 269 sqm sitting on 4000 sqm of land with a private pool, olive grove, and mountain views in a charming rural location. This unique house, full of charm and character, suits anyone wanting to live in a traditional village in an unusually large house with ample land, away from the hustle of the more touristic areas. The Villa offers many options: as a spacious home in a tranquil location, living totally self-sufficient off the land, or as an investment project as a guest house (particularly for walkers) or perhaps running retreats or workshops in a private location. The property also offers the opportunity for intergenerational living, offering a fully accessible downstairs bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Ground floor: Enter into the family living area with a lounge with wood wood-burning stove, dining area and a very spacious, fully fitted kitchen. A back door from the lounge leads to the covered terrace, pool and gardens. A door leads to the more formal living area with dining space and lounge, with a second log burner. There is a second entrance door here. To the left of this room is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. At the back of the lounge, down a curved step, under a stone arch, is a guest bathroom and stairs going up to the 1st floor. First floor: enter into a room with a vaulted ceiling, currently used as an office but potentially the second bedroom. There is a bathroom with shower here. A mezzanine level offers yet more sleeping space, alternatively an office or storage area. Patio doors take you to the covered balcony with weather-proofing tenter blinds, overlooking the gardens, olive grove and mountains. A corridor leads to a master bedroom with another en suite bathroom. With several entrances, the Villa has the potential to be multifunctional either as it is, one large home or several separate units.

The back covered terrace is set for outdoor dining, and across the lawn is the private swimming pool with sun deck. Past the lawn and pool, the tiered herb/vegetable beds and fruit trees, you have a private olive grove annually providing approx 400 litres of organic olive oil.

With an additional 131sqm of building density the Villa and plot has even more potential as you could build a second house, or divide the existing villa into smaller units for rental.
