Villa indépendante Βάμος, Kefalas, Vamos

Located in Paleloni, a traditional village in the region of Apokoronas, a short drive from Vamos and approximately 45 minutes from Chania, this fully restored stone house combines historical architecture with practical modern living. Dating back to 1900 and carefully renovated in 1997, the property offers 152 m² of total living space on a 299 m² enclosed plot. The main residence measures 111 m², complemented by a 41 m² self-contained studio on the lower level. Access from the road is through the traditional 18 m² “hayat,” a covered entrance area historically used for daily household activities and now serving as useful storage space. The home is arranged in an L-shape with a southern orientation, benefiting from open views towards the White Mountains. The outdoor areas are thoughtfully arranged with stone-paved courtyards, a built-in barbecue, established planting, and a central olive tree providing natural summer shade. A private roof terrace above the kitchen and boiler room offers expansive mountain views, while a Jacuzzi is positioned beside the independent studio for added comfort. Internally, the layout reflects classic Cretan design, with rooms flowing directly into one another and opening onto the courtyard. The main living area features timber flooring, a high wooden ceiling, a fireplace, and a prominent stone arch. The mezzanine-level master bedroom includes access to the roof terrace and can be adapted to create additional enclosed sleeping space. An extra room currently used as an office can easily function as a third bedroom. The separate studio, with exposed natural rock and wooden ceilings, is ideal for guests or rental income. Equipped with oil-fired central heating, solar panel, air conditioning, and private parking, this property is well suited as a permanent home, holiday residence, or investment opportunity in western Crete. Asking price: €330,000 (negotiable).
