Platanias, Chania, Crete, Greece

The property is located in the small town of Platanias, in a central location but at the same time away from the noise of the vehicles and the shops in the area. It is an old oil mill, which has been restored by an internationally recognized architect and is currently used as a holiday home. It has many impressive elements and a traditional character. The wider area has played an important role during World War II and this property, as a factory at that time, was occupied by German troops in order to be used as a headquarters.

The plot of the property is large enough for the area and has remaining buildable area of up to 640 m² of covered areas for main residential use. The ground is slightly sloping with southwest orientation and is divided into large flat terraces. There are 40 mature olive trees, which are enough for the needs for olive oil of an average family as well as fig, lemon and orange trees. A large part of the plot is fenced with a stone wall, which in combination with the trees offers excellent privacy in almost all areas.

The property is unique and has taken part as an exhibit in periodic exhibitions that are related to the architect. Its advantages allow you to develop it and build a profitable business. Alternatively, you can maintain it as a luxury home or add extra rooms, a swimming pool, a themed garden or anything else according to your taste and needs. Platanias is of significant tourist and residential interest. Within a short walking distance there are countless restaurants as well as any kind of infrastructure for your daily needs all year round. The city center of Chania is about 20 minutes' drive.
