Located on the quiet slopes of the traditional village of Tzigouna, in the wider area of the Asterousia Mountains, this charming residence offers absolute tranquility, privacy and panoramic views of the sea, the hills and the crimson-gold sunsets.
The residence enjoys a privileged orientation that offers unobstructed views of the deep blue of the sea, the starry sky and the wild, red-brown landscape of southern Crete. Ideal for nature lovers, it is a peaceful spot to observe the native plants and bird species, while being surrounded by the relaxing sounds of nature – the chirping of birds and the gentle whisper of the wind.
The estate has two buildings: the Main Residence and a secondary utility building, located within a private, fenced plot.
The Main Residence has been designed with comfort and functionality in mind. On the ground floor, the open-plan living area includes a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, a comfortable lounge and a reading/writing corner. A dedicated coffee and tea corner adds to the homely feel. The ground floor also features a master bedroom with a double bed (180×200 cm) and an en-suite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom with two single beds (90×200 cm) and its own en-suite bathroom. In addition, there is a guest WC, a storage room and two spacious terraces where you can relax or dine al fresco.
On the second floor, there is a third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Owners will also be able to enjoy the sun loungers and sea views from the second-floor terrace, which is accessible via the main building’s staircase.
The Secondary small building includes a technical room and a laundry area
In order to preserve the natural environment, landscaping has been kept to a minimum. A natural plateau with a central olive tree, surrounded by lavender and native Cretan herbs, has been gently sculpted with stone walls — ideal for meditation, sunbathing, relaxation and wildlife observation. The rest of the property remains untouched. At the highest point of the property is the installation of the water tank.
Additional features of the property include automatic lighting on the stone walls and around the Secondary Building. The exterior lights of the Main House can be controlled manually.
The road leading to the house from the village of Tzigounas is a dirt road and is approximately 900 meters long. While any vehicle can access the property, a 4×4 is recommended for easier access.
For beach lovers, there are several beautiful beaches within easy reach. Limanaki Beach is just 2.1 km east of the villa and is easily accessible by car. Paliomantra Beach, a secluded spot, is 1.7 km west and can be reached on foot or by 4×4. The famous Dytikos Beach is 4.1 km away and Lentas Beach is approximately 6.1 km from the property.
This villa is a rare opportunity for those seeking a peaceful retreat with authentic Cretan character and stunning natural surroundings. It offers an exceptional lifestyle surrounded by nature, beauty and tranquility. Contact us today for more information or to schedule a visit.
