    About this property

    • The property is a land plot of c. 125,000 sqm, located in the area of Richtis, next to the amazing gorge, a protected natural park that is becoming one of the most admired natural attractions in Crete. The land reaches all the way to the sea with a sea frontage of 135m and is close to a small, stunning beach where the gorge reaches the sea. Whether for a development or a private residence this property has several important advantages. A large part of the land (82,500 sqm) has been officially cleared from the forestry department and there is good access via a concrete paved road which is regularly maintained to accommodate the visitors of Richtis Gorge. The road borders the property for about 220m and there are private roads extending inside the plot. It includes an olive grove and a vineyard, as well as an unfinished villa with electricity and water on site. This villa could be transformed into a unique private retreat with excellent sea views. In addition to its high potential, this property offers maximum seclusion/exclusivity due to the geography and the protected status of the surrounding region where development is prohibited.

      According to the planning regulations, the plot could be developed as either hotel (min. 16,400 sq.m.) or one or more luxury villas for sale. In any case, ultimate privacy is secured as no other development is allowed in the wider area due to environmental protection law.
