- 2,305 sq m walled orchard

A private 2,305 sq m estate in Kounavoi comprising a main stone residence, self-contained guest cottage, outbuilding, and up to 200 sq m extra build rights.
About this property
Positioned on the quiet edge of Kounavoi village, this walled 2,305 sq m estate arranges 132 sq m of traditional stonework across three independent buildings. Surrounded by established fruit orchards, grapevines, and a courtyard with a built-in wood oven and BBQ, the grounds offer immediate privacy alongside practical scope for expansion.
The 80 sq m main house features an open-plan reception and kitchen with exposed timber ceilings, a fireplace, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Across the courtyard, a 22 sq m stone cottage provides self-contained guest accommodation with a mezzanine sleeping level and en-suite facilities, while a third 30 sq m stone outbuilding—currently used for storage—lends itself to conversion into a workspace or second guest suite.
Supported by two private water wells, solar water heating, flat lawn areas ready for a swimming pool, and approximately 200 sq m of remaining building density, the property suits both private rural living and low-density boutique hosting just 16 km from Heraklion.
