Traditional Two-storey Stone House For Renovation In Vrahasi, Lasithi

Upper floor – 46.25 m²:

The upper floor benefits from an attractive L-shaped veranda, offering pleasant open views across the Valley of Vrahasi and towards the surrounding hills and mountains. This level comprises one large room and one smaller room, both of which have direct access to the veranda.

Along the side of the property, a series of steps leads to the rear section of the house, where there are two additional small rooms, one situated at ground-floor level and the other directly above it. These spaces could potentially be incorporated into the main part of the property, allowing the usable living area to be increased as part of the renovation.

Thanks to its existing configuration and dual access between the floors, the property offers considerable flexibility. It could be renovated into a beautiful traditional two- or three-bedroom home, while the exterior staircase also makes it possible to create two independent apartments, with one residence on each floor.

The house requires a full-scale renovation. The cost of completing a good-quality renovation, without luxury-level finishes, has been estimated at approximately €75.000 to €80.000.

Vrahasi enjoys a convenient position within eastern Crete. The town of Neapoli is only 6.5 km away, approximately a 12-minute drive, and provides a wide range of shops, everyday services and amenities, including schools and a hospital. The larger coastal town of Agios Nikolaos, the prefectural capital of Lasithi, is approximately 20 minutes away and offers an extensive selection of shops, restaurants, services and beautiful beaches. Heraklion International Airport can currently be reached in approximately 35 minutes, while the new international airport at Kastelli, which is still under construction, will be even closer to the property.

Vrachasi is a traditional Cretan village in the Municipality of Agios Nikolaos, built amphitheatrically at around 360 metres above sea level on the southern slopes of Mount Anavlochos. Rich in history and authentic local character, the village retains its distinctive East Cretan architecture, with narrow lanes, stone-built houses and attractive views across the surrounding mountains and Mirabello countryside. Its location combines the peaceful atmosphere of an inland village with convenient access to Neapoli and the popular northern coastal areas of Sissi, Milatos and Malia, while Agios Nikolaos is also within easy driving distance. This blend of traditional charm, natural surroundings and proximity to established tourist destinations makes Vrachasi appealing both for buyers seeking a permanent or holiday home in an authentic Cretan setting and for investors considering renovation or hospitality-related opportunities.
