A Villa in an exceptional location in Apokoronas is up for sale This villa in Kambia is a fine example of the powerful combination of architectural simplicity and unmatched location. One can easily have a dream of a place like this. A maisonette, 110 m2, not too big but not small, no extravagance, a fireplace, a swimming pool and an astounding 3600 view of the sea and the surrounding countryside that reaches all the way to the towering mountains of the hinterland. Built on a private plot of 3000 m2 perched on a hilltop of the village of Kambia that overlooks the whole bay of Chania, this charming villa could have easily been a castle back in the old days. It clearly ticks every box in terms of an observation lookout. Of course, there was no need for battlements when this house was built. Modern needs are more fun and utilitarian. Built over two floors, the ground floor, following an open plan with the living area centered around a cozy fireplace and the kitchen with the dining area on its side, is what one faces upon entering the house. The kitchen has fitted cabinets and all appliances needed, the living area is furnished with white leather couches and both rooms are generously illuminated by natural light entering the house through large double-glazed windows and doors. The ground floor has direct access to the private swimming pool of the house, one of the places where one can enjoy the exquisite panorama of the property. In total the house has 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a WC with the first floor opening up to a large balcony that can easily fit an outdoor living room and a BBQ. The property is landscaped with local trees and plants and surrounded by unspoiled nature, dotted by the roof tiled roofs of neighboring villas in a distance. The house is fully walled and fenced with a lot of space for external dining and sunbathing. There is also an external shower and BBQ area, as well as an open private parking space. The house is very well insulated, it has double glazed windows, central oil heating and air-conditioning units for cooling and heating, while a solar water heating system provides for the hot water of the house. The building permit allows for an extra 90 m2 that can be added to the existing accommodation if necessary. Kambia is a tiny hamlet situated between Plaka and Kokkino Horio. Although the small village itself has no amenities to speak of it is just 3 minutes by car to the amenities in Plaka and 5 minutes to the sandy beach at Almyrida where you can find all sorts of shops, mini markets and tavernas. The tiny village is also the location of a studio-gallery owned by an artist famous for painting on glass and the site of the gorgeous Agios Nikita chapel which celebrates its feast day on September 15th every year. Perched high along the ridge of a hill, there are wonderful panoramic views of Souda Bay, of the green valley below the village and the White Mountains. An ideal place for relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. Apokoronas is one of the greenest regions in Crete, one that still retains many of the elements that distinguish this island as a place of unique character and unspoiled nature. Most villages are nowadays filled with restored historic houses and new stone-built villas that follow the local aesthetics in a well-tuned harmony that cannot be found in the cities. Many foreigners choose this region for their holiday homes while many others choose to stay year after year when they visit Crete. Locals seeking a higher quality of life also opt for a house in Apokoronas instead of Chania or Rethymno. Being smack-dab in the middle between the two is an extra boon for anyone wanting to move to Western Crete. PROPERTY CODE:RCEU34
