Villa Panoramica D'élite A Creta Opportunità DI Ammodernamento E Investimento Premium, Maroulas Rethymno

Overview
An exceptional real estate opportunity combining a prime Cretan location, timeless architecture and an expansive botanical garden.
This property offers clear potential to be transformed into a multimillion-euro luxury estate.
Built in 1993, the villa features 320,52 sqm of internal living space across three structured levels, set on an extraordinary, elevated private plot of 3.760,36 sqm.
Providing uninterrupted, 180-degree panoramic views of the Cretan Sea, the property serves as the perfect foundation for a high-end modern redesign project.

Property’s Interior Layout
While the home stands as an authentic, charming example of traditional Mediterranean design, it requires modernization and aesthetic renovations prior to move-in. However, because the structural blueprint remains immaculate, a strategic investment will easily transform this canvas into a premium asset.

The Semi-Basement Level (118,08 sqm): Features a secure garage, a machinery room, one secondary room and two expansive storage areas. This level can be fully customized to suit the owner’s needs.

The Ground Floor Level (110,47 sqm): Features an open-concept layout including a lounge with a wood burner, a dining area with uninterrupted sea views, an independent kitchen with a dedicated pantry, a full bathroom and a veranda overlooking the sea.

The First Floor Level (91,97 sqm): Configured as a dedicated sleeping quarter containing four independent bedrooms (including a prominent tower bedroom feature), a walk-in wardrobe and a family bathroom. Two large, open-air balconies capture panoramic sea views.

Outdoor Area
The expansive 3.760,36 sqm grounds offer total privacy, unspoiled sea views and close proximity to the city and sandy beaches. The land is fully fenced, featuring a secure main gate, a paved driveway and a ramp leading to the garage.
There are plenty of spots for outside dinner or relaxing enjoying the views.

The masterpiece of the exterior is the large botanical garden, curated and continuously maintained by a professional gardener for the past 18 years. This private park serves as a natural sanctuary, filled with mature exotic flora, palms, soaring trees and lush Cretan greenery that ensure an eco-friendly environment and complete seclusion.
The vast layout provides ample space to add custom amenities such as lounge zones, outdoor dining areas or sports facilities.

Investment Potential
Properties of this land scale, architectural identity and pristine view clarity are becoming increasingly rare in the Cretan real estate sector.
The structural identity—complete with castle-like stone crenellations, a romantic tower layout and classical arched stonework columns—forms an irreplaceable architectural backbone.

By executing a comprehensive modernization plan (including high-efficiency panoramic glass installation, a custom kitchen and luxury spa bathrooms) and adding an infinity swimming pool, an investor can effortlessly elevate this property into a modern architectural landmark.

180° Panoramic Sea Views: Unobstructed, elevated vistas overlooking the Cretan coastline.
