3KM FROM CENTRE OF HERAKLION
1000m² gently sloping plot, price includes large garage with
basement storage
Price €302,300
The location
 This is an unusual opportunity to purchase a large
property close to Heraklion, with the potential to earn an income
from the very well kept orchard and olive trees. In addition to the
fruit and olives a long garden runs down one side which is filled
with grapevines and vegetables and is also very productive. A quiet
road runs past the property and the offers immediate access to the
large two storey garage for private and secure parking. This
garage, currently used as an agricultural workshop, has plenty of
room to pursue whatever interests a future purchaser may have. Main
garage opens out onto a very large veranda, which looks down the
gently sloping orchard to the main house. The property is only 3km
from the centre of Heraklion, 300 metres from the main coastal
highway and about 10 minutes from Heraklion Airport.
The main house
 This property has the potential to allow 200m²
of liveable accommodation plus two 24m² balconies and a huge
roof sun terrace with views over the surrounding countryside. The
house also has a basement storage area. The current living
accommodation consists of the ground floor area only. Steps lead to
the uncompleted 1st floor which has only partly finished internal
walls. A further staircase leads to the sun terrace, which at
present is housing birds in a room, built to one side.
On the ground floor the hallway leads to a second bedroom with the
master bedroom being to the right. WC and outbuildings are
adjoining the property.
The Garage and entrance
The garage, built with a large storage basement under, could offer
parking for two cars. The garage leads on to a large terrace,
overlooking grounds to the main house. Beneath the garage, the
large storage area, divided roughly into two rooms, could offer the
potential for a workshop or an ancillary operation connected with
the fruit and olive growing.
In front of the house is a large patio area shaded by trees and
grapevines. The front entrance leads to a hallway with a large
kitchen to one side, which in turn leads to a comfortable lounge
area. The lounge area, separated from the kitchen by an archway,
gives a feeling of space with this open plan look.
The grounds
Leading from the road and garage area the ground gently slopes to
the main house. One side of the paved pathway and separately fenced
is the vegetable and grape growing area. To the right of the
pathway are a number of orange, lemon, plum, walnut, pomegranate,
mandarin, and fig trees. All of which are extremely productive.
Water is supplied by an underground spring and provides all the
needs of the property. The orchard etc is watered automatically by
use of an electronic timer.
Drainage is by biodegradable cess pit and electricity is
connected
Despite the fact that the main house needs expenditure to
complete, this property is very favourably priced, for the
location, and size of the land area.
