Plot with Old Stone Building and Mountain Views in Melidoni, Apokoronas

Located in the traditional village of Melidoni, in the Apokoronas region of Chania, this attractive property combines a 1,183 m² plot, an existing old building and impressive views towards the surrounding countryside and the White Mountains.

Of the total 1,183 m², approximately 538 m² are located within the village boundaries, while the remaining section extends outside the settlement. The property offers a building capacity of up to 240 m², providing an interesting opportunity for the creation of a permanent residence or private holiday home in an authentic Cretan village environment.

The Property.

The land extends across a total area of 1,183 m² and features a naturally varied landscape with mature trees, traditional stone boundaries and established vegetation.

One of the property’s most distinctive features is the existing old building, which adds considerable character to the land. With its traditional stone construction and tiled roof, it reflects the rural architecture of the area and could potentially form part of a future renovation or redevelopment concept, subject to an engineer’s assessment and the relevant approvals.

The remainder of the plot provides substantial open space around the existing structure, allowing a future design to combine the residence with gardens, terraces, outdoor living areas and potentially a private swimming pool.

The elevated and open surroundings provide particularly attractive views towards the White Mountains, while the wider landscape is dominated by olive groves, mature vegetation and the traditional houses of Melidoni.

Building & Renovation Potential.

The property offers a building capacity of up to 240 m², giving a future owner considerable flexibility when planning a new residence or incorporating the existing structure into a broader architectural concept.

Approximately 538 m² of the total 1,183 m² plot are situated within the village boundaries, with the remaining land positioned outside the settlement.

This combination provides a particularly appealing balance: sufficient building potential for a substantial home, together with a much larger surrounding plot than is typically available with smaller village properties.

The existing old building also creates the possibility of preserving some of the property’s original Cretan character rather than starting with an entirely blank site. Depending on its structural condition and the applicable regulations, it could potentially be restored or incorporated into the design of the future property.

Any renovation, extension or new construction, as well as the final use of the available 240 m² building capacity, should be confirmed by the competent engineer and remains subject to the applicable planning regulations and approvals.

The Area – Melidoni & Apokoronas.

Melidoni is a small traditional village in Apokoronas, set in the foothills of the White Mountains and surrounded by olive groves, mature trees and the characteristic countryside of western Crete.

The village offers a quiet residential environment with an authentic local character, while larger nearby villages provide access to everyday amenities. Agioi Pantes, Vamos and Vryses are among the main nearby centres for shops and services, while the coastal villages of Kalyves and Georgioupoli provide beaches, restaurants, cafés and a wider range of amenities.

The location is particularly attractive for those who want to experience the quieter side of Crete without being completely isolated from the northern coastline and the city of Chania.

Above all, the property’s position benefits from the impressive backdrop of the White Mountains, which gives the land a distinctive sense of place and enhances its potential for a carefully designed residence that takes advantage of the surrounding views.
