The Opportunity

A Rare Countryside Estate in Crete's Fastest-Growing Tourism Corridor

A unique 34,000 m² countryside estate located just 20 km from Heraklion, set within a lush green landscape reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside. The property combines ten existing structures totaling ~1,155 m² across four parcels, significant construction capacity of approximately 5,000 m², and a strategic position adjacent to the corridor of the upcoming Kastelli International Airport.

This combination of scale, existing infrastructure, development potential, and location makes the estate an exceptional opportunity for hospitality development, luxury villa projects, or lifestyle investments. Few properties in the Heraklion region offer this rare convergence of factors.

MAP: Property location showing proximity to Heraklion city, current airport, future Kastelli Airport, and highway corridor

Future Kastelli International Airport

Crete's new main aviation hub, currently under construction, will transform the region into a major tourism gateway. The property sits along its infrastructure corridor.

New Highway Corridor

A major new highway connecting Kastelli Airport to Heraklion will pass very close to the property, dramatically improving accessibility and increasing land values.

20 km from Heraklion

Quick access to Crete's capital, its existing international airport, the port, hospitals, and all urban amenities.

Natural Countryside Setting

A peaceful green environment with rolling hills and olive groves, offering complete privacy while remaining close to all infrastructure.

Development Potential

Approximately 5,000 m² of Buildable Capacity

The permitted construction allowance of approximately 4,600 m² — potentially higher under tourism development classification — enables large-scale hospitality or residential projects. Two primary development scenarios demonstrate the estate's versatility.

Scenario A

Boutique Countryside Resort

Boutique Countryside Resort
  • Guest suites and eco-lodges set across the landscaped estate
  • Restaurant, spa and wellness facilities converted from existing buildings
  • Event spaces, pools and gardens throughout the property
Scenario B

Luxury Villa Community

Luxury Villa Community
  • Luxury villas with private pools on individual plots
  • Gated community with internal road network and landscaping
  • Communal clubhouse converted from existing main building
