Traditional Village House with Development Potential in Krousonas, Crete

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Krousonas, at the foothills of the majestic Psiloritis (Mount Ida), this charming village house presents an excellent opportunity for permanent residence, holiday living, or investment.

Located on a quiet paved street in a central part of the village, the property enjoys easy access and features two separate entrances, one on each level, offering flexibility and significant potential for future development.

The main living area is situated on the upper floor and comprises a bright open-plan kitchen and living room, a WC, a bathroom, and two comfortable bedrooms with access to a balcony overlooking the traditional village surroundings. Internal stairs connect the upper floor to the lower level.

The lower level currently serves as an unfinished space, providing a blank canvas for the new owner. Thanks to its independent entrance from a secondary road, it can be transformed into a self-contained apartment, guest accommodation, workshop, or additional living area, significantly enhancing the property’s value and versatility.

Krousonas is one of Crete’s most authentic mountain villages, renowned for its traditional character, welcoming atmosphere, and stunning natural surroundings. Situated at the foot of Mount Ida, the island’s highest mountain, the village offers beautiful countryside views and rich cultural heritage. Nearby attractions include the historic Monastery of Agia Irini, dating back to the 16th century, and the unique Museum of Musical Instruments “Thyrathen,” which showcases traditional Greek and Cretan instruments while hosting concerts and cultural events throughout the year.

The village center is vibrant and lively, featuring traditional taverns, cafés, local shops, and all essential amenities within walking distance.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property enjoys excellent connectivity:

18 km from beautiful sandy beaches
25 km from Heraklion city center
