Imagine a sanctuary where the Mediterranean sun caresses your face, the whisper of a rolling sea serenades you, and every sunset paints a masterpiece over the horizon. Picture your very own villa in Sfakia, Agios Georgios, Crete, a piece of paradise where such daydreams become your daily reality. Listed for sale is a detached 230m2 house that stands proudly on a generous 1070m2 plot, boasting magnificent views of the pristine Libyan Sea.
Unveiling a tale of dedication, this house has undergone a transformative journey of seven years to become the idyllic abode it is today. The main house shelters three expansive bedrooms, beckoning for rest and rejuvenation, while a separate cozy studio with its own bathroom and bedroom nestled in the garden offers privacy and tranquility. Six terraces offer vantage points for awe-inspiring views – vistas that sweep over the sea and capture the dramatic spectacle of the sun dipping below the horizon.
Lying within the folds of a medieval village, this house is part of a treasured narrative, where history whispers through stone-paved alleys and restored facades are few but majestic. Kolokassia, now known as Agios Giorgios, is a rare gem on the Cretan landscape, virtually untouched and still waiting to be discovered. Here, the house enjoys the grandeur of high ceilings that extend the space skywards, creating an airy and open atmosphere that speaks to the soul.
Functioning seamlessly on a combination of gas and the abundant gift of solar energy – which comes in very handy for hot water – the house has foregone traditional electricity. This choice celebrates an eco-conscious lifestyle, and should a desire for further electrical amenities emerge, solar power stands as the ideal resolution with Crete’s generous sunshine. However, a reminder of its rustic charm – vehicles cannot park beside the house, a small trade-off for the breaths of history one inhales while traversing the short path to the front door.
Although nestled in tranquility, this sanctuary is but a 3 km drive from the vibrant beach life and inviting tavernas. The area pulses with natural wonder, a haven for beach lovers with nearby gems like Frangocastello beach, and a paradise for trekkers with the Asfendou Gorge initiating in the village – a two-hour walk that promises adventure and scenic beauty.
In essence, this villa is not just a home; it’s a lifestyle. An opportunity for those who seek to combine the nostalgia of untouched Cretan charm with modern comforts, all while embracing nature’s purest offerings. Can you imagine ending each day with a front-row seat to the sun setting behind a liquid horizon? If this vision resonates with you, then maybe, just maybe, Sfakia beckons you home.
Are you ready to claim your piece of Cretan paradise? The answer lies within the walls of this villa, within every sunbeam that dances across its terraces, and within every gentle sea breeze that whispers through its doors. Dive into a life where rarity is the norm, and splendor is the everyday. Your villa by the Libyan Sea awaits.
