Set among mature fir trees, this spacious West Crete villa in the village of Kefalas comprises three apartments and very large terraces. The largest apartment has two double bedrooms and covers the entire ground floor. The first floor is split into two apartments, one small and one medium sized. Both have one bedroom. From the large terraces and from the villa are magnificent views over the sea to Rethymno and the Ida Mountains. The property has been constructed to exacting standards, and finished using fine quality materials.

The current substantial living space comprises:

• Interior living area 186.24 sqm
• Terraces (Covered & uncovered) 136.82 sqm
• Stairwells 12.05 sqm
• Cellars x 2 42.00 sqm
• Boiler room 6.00 sqm

The total usable living space is therefore 383.11 sqm

The permissible building density of the property is high and an additional 214 sq.m is available for extending the property should this be required.

The ground floor apartment has a spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen area with traditional wood burning stove (Zomba) in the living area. Patio doors open to a covered terrace. The fitted kitchen is complete with electrical appliances. A hall leads to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom, complete with bath, basin WC and washing machine. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and patio doors opening to balcony or terrace.

The smaller first floor apartment has a private entrance to a double bedroom with patio doors to its private balcony, a kitchen and en-suite shower room. The larger apartment has a spacious living/dining area with wood burning stove (Zomba), kitchen and en-suite shower room.

Around the villa are terraces, patios and balconies located to take advantage of sun and shade throughout the day, which enables full enjoyment of the Mediterranean climate and lifestyle. Below the house are two large store rooms totalling 42 sqm, and a separate boiler room is in readiness should central heating be installed. The villa is fully plumbed for this and installation will be easy.

In the shade of fir trees a stone BBQ area has been created with stone tables and seating. Here is a lovely stone chapel built by a local village craftsman. Around the house are mature landscaped gardens with flowers and shrubs, (palms, oleander, bougainvillea) fruit trees (lemon, orange and grapefruit) and many plants in terracotta pots. The natural topography of the land, with bedrock showing through the surface is lovely, and some of the property has been left in this natural state. Here wild flowers proliferate in the springtime. Below the villa on the seaward side is more than adequate space for a swimming pool.
