Description

Set in the quiet village of Vrisidi (formerly Magkasa) in Eastern Crete, this distinctive 170 m² residence was rebuilt in 2019 using the original stones of a 150-year-old home.
Positioned on a private 5,000 m² plot surrounded by fig, mulberry, and carob trees, it offers complete privacy and uninterrupted views of the mountains, gorge, and distant sea.

The flexible layout allows for 2–3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by generous outdoor spaces ideal for entertaining or relaxation.
Traditional features include two wood-fired ovens, a rock-carved outdoor WC, and a partially completed pool. A separate storage area could be converted into a guest studio, and there’s potential to add another floor to expand both the living space and the breathtaking views.

Blending thoughtful restoration with natural surroundings, this property is ideal as a peaceful family home, an artist’s or writer’s retreat, or a boutique rental aligned with Crete’s growing eco-tourism market.
