Crete, Schisma Eloundas: Building plot with sea views near the beach for sale

This 1.830 m² building plot in an exceptionally advantageous location is situated in close proximity to the renowned luxury hotels of the exclusive resort of Elounda, just 270 meters from the sea. It is ideal for the construction of two prestigious luxury villas, suitable for permanent residence, holiday homes, or rental to affluent vacationers. The plot is within walking distance of several first-class hotels and their facilities, including Elounda's 9-hole golf course. Planning permission has already been granted for two villas, each with 94,7 m² of living space on the ground floor (plus an equally sized basement) and a 33 m² swimming pool. The plans include two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, an open-plan kitchen with living and dining area, and a covered terrace with a pool and lounge area under a pergola. The property offers sea views (especially from the first-floor roof terrace), excellent transport links, and is connected to the electricity, water, and telephone networks with high-speed internet. The village of Elounda is about a 2-minute drive away. The provincial capital, Agios Nikolaos, can be reached in 10 minutes. Elounda was once a small fishing village on the Mirabello Bay in Crete. Although fishing still plays an important role in this picturesque area, tourism has become Elounda's main economic activity. The town belongs to the municipality of Agios Nikolaos and is popular with European tourists. There are numerous hotels, including several 5-star hotels. Elounda is also the closest major town to the former leper colony of Spinalonga. From here, you can reach Agios Nikolaos and the village of Plaka (Lasithi) in 10 minutes by car. Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the Lasithi district and is located on the Mirabello Bay in northeastern Crete. Geographically, the town is well protected from strong winds, making it possible to enjoy water sports and swimming almost year-round. Although Agios Nikolaos has fewer than 20.000 inhabitants, it offers several banks, supermarkets, shops of all kinds, doctors, a modern, high-standard hospital, a public swimming pool and tennis courts, a marina, a harbor, a cinema, a theater, gyms, a 9-hole golf course, schools from preschool to high school, and generally all the amenities one would expect from a modern European town. The microclimate is among the best in Greece, with mild temperatures rarely exceeding 30°C in summer and seldom falling below 15°C in winter. This wonderful, dry climate and the area's natural beauty have attracted most of Greece's top-tier hotels.
