This charming, partially restored property in Gavalohori retains a wealth of original character and is tucked away within its own private courtyard. The home showcases beautiful traditional features throughout, including stone-flagged and wooden floors, exposed ceiling beams, an original fireplace, a bread oven, and a stone-built sterna (well), along with many other unique elements that add to its appeal.

It is a delightful residence with plenty of potential for further enhancement, and is offered for sale with an additional plot as well as extra buildings suitable for guest accommodation.

Situated in the heart of the historic village of Gavalohori, the house is accessed through an impressive arched wooden entrance that opens into a secluded, paved courtyard. This inviting outdoor space features the original stone well, seating areas, and a useful storage outbuilding.

From the courtyard, the main entrance leads into a bright and spacious living room, complete with a stone floor, exposed wooden beams, traditional wooden windows and shutters, and tasteful wall lighting. Adjacent to this is a cozy study area with built-in shelving and additional lighting. The kitchen has largely preserved its original style, featuring a fireplace and traditional bread oven, while a renovated bathroom is conveniently located just to one side.

A wooden staircase leads upstairs to a very generously sized master bedroom, which continues the traditional aesthetic with wooden flooring, exposed beams, and classic wooden windows and shutters. The room overlooks the courtyard and benefits from two separate terrace access points—one offering lovely views across the village towards Souda Bay, and the other enjoying views of the White Mountains.

The property offers excellent scope for expansion and further development. It is being sold together with a nearby “double” plot, just a short walk from the main house. This additional plot measures 670 sqm and includes two small converted barns, along with another building in need of renovation. Both plots come with building rights of up to 240 m².

This is a fantastic opportunity to own a home in the very centre of the village, with the added advantage of future renovation and development potential.

Gavalohori itself is a beautiful and traditional village located in the highly sought-after Apokoronas region of Crete, known for its stunning natural surroundings and scenic approach. The village offers a range of everyday amenities, including tavernas, kafeneions, a bakery, and a supermarket. Further facilities, services, and beaches can be found in nearby Vamos, Almyrida, and Kalyves, all within easy reach.
