A Timeless Cretan Retreat – Fully Restored 150+ Year-Old Stone Residence with Private Pool & Guest House in Neo Chorio, Apokoronas

Set in the heart of one of Crete’s authentic traditional villages, this exceptional residence offers something increasingly rare: the character and soul of a centuries-old Cretan home, beautifully reimagined for modern Mediterranean living. More than 150 years old and fully renovated in 2026, the property has been carefully transformed into an elegant and comfortable retreat while preserving the architectural character that makes traditional Cretan homes so distinctive.

Constructed in traditional stone, the residence benefits from substantial thick walls, providing excellent natural insulation and helping maintain a comfortable internal temperature throughout the year — cooler during the summer months and better protected during the cooler winter season.

Located in Neo Chorio, in the highly desirable region of Apokoronas, the property combines authentic village life, privacy and beautiful natural surroundings with the convenience of having everyday amenities within easy walking distance.

Main House: The main residence is arranged over two levels. The lower floor offers two inviting bedrooms and a stylish bathroom, creating a calm and private sleeping area.

Upstairs, the home opens into a bright and welcoming living space with a brand-new fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining area, together with an additional guest WC. From here, the balcony enjoys beautiful views towards the sea and the  White Mountains, providing an impressive backdrop for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons and peaceful evenings.

Outside: The outdoor area is one of the strongest features of the property. A private swimming pool sits at the heart of the terrace, surrounded by sun loungers and comfortable outdoor seating, creating an inviting setting for long summer days under the Cretan sun.

A dedicated barbecue and dining area provides the perfect setting for outdoor meals, entertaining family and friends or simply enjoying quiet evenings beneath the Mediterranean sky. The exterior spaces have been designed so that outdoor living becomes a natural extension of the home.

Guest House:  Separate from the main residence is an independent guest house featuring its own bedroom and private bathroom. This additional accommodation offers valuable flexibility, whether used for visiting family and friends, older children, private guests or as part of a premium holiday-rental concept. The independence of the guest house is particularly attractive for buyers who wish to combine personal use with rental possibilities while maintaining privacy.

The property is offered fully furnished and equipped, allowing the new owner to begin enjoying the home immediately. Furniture, electrical appliances, televisions and the existing household equipment are all included in the sale, making this a genuine turnkey opportunity.

Air conditioning is installed throughout the property, while intelligent sensors on doors and windows are connected to the climate-control system. When a window or balcony door is opened, the relevant air-conditioning unit automatically switches off, helping reduce unnecessary energy consumption and making the system particularly practical for holiday-rental operation.

The property is also equipped with a solar water-heating system, providing an energy-efficient solution for hot water and helping to reduce day-to-day operating costs.

For additional safety and security, the residence benefits from security cameras, smoke detectors and emergency lighting, further enhancing its suitability for both private occupation and professional holiday accommodation. Private covered parking for one vehicle completes the property.

Location: One of the property’s most appealing advantages is its convenient location within Neo Chorio. The centre of the village is approximately five minutes away on foot, allowing owners and guests to enjoy everyday village life without being dependent on a car.

Within the village centre you will find traditional cafés, restaurants, a supermarket, pharmacy and the local primary school, providing excellent convenience for both permanent residents and holiday visitors. This combination of a peaceful residential setting with essential amenities just a short walk away makes the property particularly attractive for international buyers looking for an authentic Cretan lifestyle without sacrificing everyday practicality.
