Building Plot in Xirosterni with Mountain & Countryside Views

Set within the peaceful countryside of Xirosterni, Apokoronas, this spacious plot of 4,151.94 m² offers an excellent opportunity to create a private residence or holiday home surrounded by the natural beauty of western Crete.

The property is partly located within the village boundaries, with 556.83 m² situated within the settlement, providing a building allowance of up to 222.73 m².

One of the main advantages of the property is its direct frontage onto a main asphalt road, providing convenient and easy access throughout the year while maintaining the feeling of a countryside setting.

The land is characterised by its mature olive trees, traditional dry-stone walls and abundant Mediterranean vegetation, creating an authentic Cretan landscape and a particularly attractive natural environment.

The surrounding scenery combines green countryside, olive groves and impressive mountain views, while glimpses towards the sea can also be enjoyed from parts of the property. The combination of greenery, mature trees and the surrounding hills gives the plot a peaceful and private atmosphere, ideal for a residence designed to take advantage of outdoor living.

Thanks to its generous overall size, there is ample space to create landscaped gardens, outdoor seating and dining areas, parking and, subject to the necessary permits, a private swimming pool, while still preserving a substantial part of the property’s existing natural character.
