Description

Renovation Property Crete. Attractive Renovation Project perfect for the realization of a wealthy old traditional mansion featuring original arched door opening and nice wall recess, situated at the outer skirts of a authentically traditional Cretan village, offering eye-catching views of the lush green surroundings... The existing walls of this property for sale have been already renovated and are in relatively good condition. Originally the property consisted of two floors of 92,08m² (ground level) and 53,26m² (upper level). Therefore the existing building density is at 145,34m². Due to the fact that the land is within the village building zone, it might be possible to increase the building allowance up to 400m² - depending on the property designed and the building materials, due to the protected status of the area. Close by is another old stone property of approx. 60m² which can be purchased as well. The price for this small renovation property is 35.000 Euros. Location: The village of Macheri is built amphitheatrically on the mountain slope at an altitude of 160m, between two gorges at the foot of the White Mountains with in the background a very high cliff that rises up from the landscape. To the west of the village in a crack in the rock there is a small chapel. It is one of the historical villages at the foot of the Lefka Ori and it overlooks the fertile plain of Apokoronas, with its sources, rivers and ancient vestiges. The Cretan Sea spreads out in front of it, with the sandy beaches of the bay of Kalyves. Despite the fact that the village remained apart from the noisy crowd of the busy roads and tourism of Crete, it is easily accessed. It is located at a distance of 4km from the national road, at 23km from the city of Chania, at 18km from the harbour of Souda, and at 28km from the airport. The small village is declared a protected national monument because of the many Venetian buildings that are found here. In and around the village new developments can no longer be built. Many of the old stone houses with the large Venetian arches and an olive-oil mill are beautifully restored. Other houses are painted white or in bright pastel colours. Macheri has sometimes narrow roads that are not suitable for a car. Most people live from agriculture and olive growing and a few of them rent out rooms. The inhabitants of the village come together in the square, under the shade of the trees, for a cup of coffee and having a chat in the kafenio. From Macheri you look out over the Apokoronas plain and the bay of Souda.
