  • This is a two-story detached house with 57,75 m² of living space, situated on a 360,98 m² plot with a remaining building allowance of 342,25 m². The ground floor comprises an open-plan living/sitting area and a raised wooden platform featuring an old fireplace and a bedroom area. A staircase leads down to a small kitchen and the house's bathroom.

    The outdoor area of ​​the property consists of a large garden with trees, paved areas, flowers and plants, a fence, and an old wood-burning stove measuring 4,95 m².

    One of the property's greatest advantages is the substantial remaining building rights. It offers numerous possibilities for transforming it into a dream home, a peaceful retreat in the Cretan countryside, or even a residential complex for tourist use.

    It is also worth noting that the restoration of the house was carried out in such a way as to preserve its original character. Therefore, the property features a wooden ceiling with large beams, wooden floors, and exposed elements of the stone construction.

    Due to the low selling price and the high remaining building allowance, this property is an ideal investment for anyone who wants to enjoy a peaceful life near Rethymno, while also being very close to the popular coastal villages of Panormo and Bali.

    The area between Bali and Panormo on the north coast of Rethymno is one of Crete's most attractive coastal locations. It combines beautiful beaches, clear waters, traditional villages, and easy access to both Rethymno and Heraklion, making it an ideal choice for holidays, permanent residence, or investment.

    Bali is a picturesque coastal resort built around small, sheltered bays with sandy beaches and calm waters – ideal for families and relaxation. The village offers tavernas, cafes, shops, and tourist facilities, while still maintaining a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere.

    Panormo is a charming coastal village with a more traditional character, narrow streets, local tavernas, a small harbor, and beautiful beaches. It offers a relaxed Cretan lifestyle while being close to all necessary amenities.

    The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with olive groves, rolling hills, sea views, and easy access to nearby villages and beaches. Its location makes it perfect for those who wish to enjoy the peaceful side of Crete while remaining conveniently close to the city of Rethymno, Heraklion Airport, and many popular destinations on the island.

    We are German real estate agents and specialize in real estate from Crete. In addition to finding suitable properties on Crete for you, our portfolio also includes organizing viewing appointments on Crete.
    We are at your side at every stage of your property purchase in Crete and will accompany you from the first conversation through to the notary contract.

    Your ideas are important to us, such as the location on Crete in combination with sea views, proximity to the beach, sandy beach, stone house or swimming pool. There are also important points to consider, such as the dimensions of the rooms in a property. In Greece and therefore also on Crete, the walls are included, i.e. external wall to external wall. In contrast to German real estate, here measurements are taken from the inside wall to the inside wall.

    We strongly recommend that you check the living space specified when visiting Crete, as this can differ greatly from German information (calculation, living space regulations, DIN standards) and usable areas may have been included (cellar, technical room, balcony, terrace, etc.).
    Please also note that when specifying the location of real estate offers on Crete, these are approximate values.
    The Greek energy certificate (if required) is available during the inspection.

    Additional costs such as commission, real estate transfer tax, notary fees and legal fees are added to the stated purchase price. You can find more details on our homepage at INFOS.

    All properties from Crete offered through our portal have been carefully checked and translated. However, errors can creep in, so we assume no liability for the accuracy of the information.

    If you have any questions about the topic of buying a property or land on Crete, we are happy to help you and can clarify further details in a conversation.

    Our general terms and conditions apply, which you can find on our homepage under general terms and conditions and right of withdrawal.
