Three Properties - A Private Retreat in Gourgouthoi - A Rare Oasis of Tranquility in Rural Crete – ID 2199064

For Sale: the ultimate escape in one of Rethymno’s best-kept secrets. Hidden in the historic Amari Valley, Gourgouthoi village is a true "oasis" of peace. With only two permanent residents, this tiny settlement offers a level of serenity that is nearly impossible to find in the modern world—a place where the only sounds are the whispers of nature and flowing water. The Location: At the Foot of the Mountains of Crete Situated at an elevation of 680 meters at the foot of Mount Kedros, this property is surrounded by a lush landscape of cherry, apple and sour cherry trees, fed by natural springs and cascading waterfalls. The views are nothing short of cinematic, offering a million-dollar panorama of the majestic Psiloritis Mountains. The Estate: Authentic Craftsmanship meets Modern Comfort These 3 properties together gather a total land plot of 564,28 sqm with a collection of three natural stone-built properties of 173,26 sqm total celebrating the soul of traditional Cretan architecture. Built with organic materials—local stone and warm wood—the homes blend seamlessly into the landscape. Property 1: Land: 449,52 sqm - House: 63,87 sqm (Ground Floor) Layout: A beautifully renovated rustic house featuring a cozy living room, a fully fitted kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a convenient storage room. Outdoor Living: An expansive veranda with pergola offers breathtaking views of Psiloritis and the pure natural beauty of the valley. The house is surrounded by a private garden filled with a variety of plants and trees. Property 2: Land: 86,30 sqm - House: 52.83 sqm + 7,35 sqm Brand New Bathroom (Ground Floor) Layout: This renovated home offers an open-plan sitting and kitchen area and 2 charming bedrooms. A separate, newly built bathroom provides modern comfort. Outdoor Living: A metallic staircase leads to a massive roof terrace—a dream location for stargazing, sunbathing, or installing a luxury jacuzzi to soak in the scenic views. Property 3: Land: 28,46 sqm - House: 49,21 sqm (Two-story) Layout: A 2-story stone house consisting of a 28,46 sqm ground floor and a 20,75 sqm first floor. Potential: While very well-preserved, this third building is still in need of renovation. It holds immense potential to be turned into a sweet, warm home or a private guest cottage. An Established Business & A Nature Lover's Dream Properties 1 and 2 are already successfully operating as tourist rentals. The renovated properties are preserving traditional Cretan architecture features as fireplace, skylight and wooden doors and windows, perfectly balanced with modern bathrooms, fitted kitchens, solar panel and a dedicated BBQ area. Secluded, Yet Connected While Gourgouthoi feels like a hidden paradise, you are never isolated. All essential amenities, shops, and tavernas are just 3 km away in Gerakari village, with the vibrant town of Spili at 13 km and the city of Rethymno within 42 km. This is more than a property; it is a chance to own a piece of Cretan history in a village named after the "pools of water" that give it life.
