Sea View Development Plot with Four Vertical Properties in Palailoni, Apokoronas

Located in the peaceful village of Palailoni, Apokoronas, this exceptional 2,814.36 m² building plot represents a particularly interesting opportunity for both private buyers and investors, combining beautiful sea views, an attractive natural setting and flexible residential development potential.

One of the property’s most important advantages is its existing configuration into four vertical properties, each measuring just over 700 m².

More specifically, the four vertical properties measure 703.48 m², 703.48 m², 703.92 m² and 703.48 m², creating considerable flexibility for the future development of the property.

Development Potential – Up to 400 m²

The property offers a maximum total residential building allowance of up to 400 m².

An important advantage is its existing configuration into four vertical properties, with each vertical property corresponding to approximately 100 m² of building rights, for a combined total of 400 m².

This configuration creates an attractive opportunity for an investor or developer looking to create four independent residences or villas of approximately 100 m² each, with the possibility of designing individual outdoor areas, gardens and swimming pools.

Alternatively, a buyer who does not wish to utilise the four vertical properties independently may choose to develop the property as one unified residential project of up to 400 m².

This option would be particularly suitable for the creation of a substantial private villa or estate, surrounded by extensive gardens, a swimming pool and generous outdoor living areas.

The property therefore provides considerable flexibility, making it equally interesting for a small residential development or an impressive private residence.

The Plot & Sea Views

The land occupies an attractive position within the settlement boundaries of Palailoni, surrounded by the characteristic natural landscape of Apokoronas.

Numerous mature olive trees, Mediterranean vegetation and traditional dry-stone elements preserve the authentic Cretan character of the property and provide an excellent natural setting for a future development.

One of the property’s strongest features is its beautiful open outlook towards the sea and surrounding countryside.

Its position creates a pleasant sense of openness and privacy, while different points across the land enjoy views extending through the Cretan landscape towards the blue waters of the sea.

The generous dimensions and configuration of the property provide considerable flexibility when designing a future project, allowing residences, swimming pools, terraces, gardens and outdoor entertainment areas to be positioned in a way that makes the most of the views and natural surroundings.

The property also benefits from direct road access, an important practical advantage both during the construction phase and for the future use of the development.

According to the current topographical survey, the property has a total surface area of 2,814.36 m², is located within the settlement boundaries of Palailoni and is classified as buildable under the applicable planning provisions.

Four Existing Vertical Properties.

The property is currently configured as follows:

Vertical Property 1: 703.48 m² – approximately 100 m² building rights
Vertical Property 2: 703.48 m² – approximately 100 m² building rights
Vertical Property 3: 703.92 m² – approximately 100 m² building rights
Vertical Property 4: 703.48 m² – approximately 100 m² building rights

The four vertical properties therefore correspond to a combined maximum residential building allowance of up to 400 m².

This existing configuration makes the property particularly interesting for the development of four independent villas or residences, while retaining the alternative of creating a single larger residential project.
