Absolute Waterfront for Sale in Plaka, Lasithi Crete, Greece

Charming Absolute Waterfront Villa

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a villa directly on the waterfront in an unspoilt part of eastern Crete.

This charming little villa is situated in the charming seaside village of Plaka, in the region of Lasithi on the Eastern seaboard of Crete, about 10 minutes (by car ) from Elounda, about I hour’s drive east of Heraklion ( nearest airport ) and about 20 minutes from the thriving town of Agios Nikoloas.

The main attraction of the house is its direct waterfrontage. You cannot get any closer! Directly on the beach at Plaka, it has a view direct to the blue ocean and to the nearby island of Spinalonga which was originally a Venetian fortress, turned leper colony, and now a renowned tourist site.

The villa was originally the stone village school, had fallen into ruin, and was rebuilt from the original stone in the 1980’s, since when it has remained one family’s holiday residence.

The house is "coquette", approximately 50m2, and consists of a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen. It has been tastefully rebuilt using the original materials, and includes tiled flors. There is an approximately 80m2 south-facing stone-walled, shaded terrace, also with direct access to the waterfront. There is a flat-top roof, which can also be used to provide an additional 50m2 of patio.

Plaka has a variety of tavernas, cafes and assorted shops. The nearest town of Elounda has all conveniences not available in Plaka. Plaka is growing, and there will be considerable development in the surrounding area in the future. Elounda is a great draw-card.

As far as upward extensions are concerned, opinions differ - there may be a possibility of building another storey, but cannot be guaranteed.

It is highly unlikely that the house will be built around by other developments: the block on the left facing the sea is privately- owned, but too small to be authorized for a separate construction. On the right –had side is a vacant block believed to be state land (see aerial view on Google Earth by typing Plaka Lasithi).

The street outside the front gate is a sealed road and a car can
be parked beside the house.

The house is connected to mains electricity and mains water plus
a septic tank for sewerage.

Service costs (water and electricity) and local taxes are low.
