Traditional Restoration Property on 577.55 m² Plot in Kefalas

A unique restoration and redevelopment opportunity in the traditional village of Kefalas, Apokoronas, set on a plot of 577.55 m² with a total building allowance of up to 240 m².
The property currently includes existing old buildings with a total area of 83.26 m², together with an additional 28.73 m² ruin. The existing structures require complete reconstruction, giving the new owner the opportunity to redesign the property from the ground up while incorporating the character of the original buildings into a new residential project.
With its generous plot, existing traditional structures and substantial remaining development potential, the property provides an interesting basis for the creation of a private residence, holiday home or investment property in the heart of Apokoronas.
Existing buildings and redevelopment potential
The property occupies a 577.55 m² plot within the village of Kefalas and currently contains a collection of old structures surrounded by mature vegetation and traditional stone elements.
The existing buildings have a combined area of 83.26 m², while a further 28.73 m² is registered as a ruin. Their traditional form, old tiled roofs and stone details provide a glimpse of the property’s original Cretan village character.
The buildings require complete reconstruction, allowing a future owner considerable freedom to create a new layout and architectural concept suited to modern living.
Most importantly, the plot offers a total permitted building allowance of up to 240 m², creating significant potential beyond the existing structures.
A property with authentic village character
The property is surrounded by mature trees, vegetation and traditional neighbouring residences, giving it the atmosphere of an established Cretan village rather than a newly developed residential area.
The combination of the old buildings, generous outdoor space and natural surroundings creates an excellent starting point for a carefully designed restoration project that could blend traditional architectural elements with contemporary comforts.
The available land also provides scope for landscaped gardens, outdoor living areas and other features to complement the future residence, subject to the relevant planning approvals.
