Luxury Villa in Gournes, Crete with Panoramic Sea Views & Development Potential

Nestled in the heart of the seaside village of Gournes, just 15 km east of Heraklion, Crete’s main city, and only 12 minutes from Kazantzakis International Airport, this magnificent 520 sqm villa stands proudly on a 2,140 sqm plot within the settlement — offering the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and convenience, moments away from some of Crete’s finest beaches and resorts.

Spread across four levels, the residence features a master suite, six spacious bedrooms, six elegant bathrooms, two fully equipped kitchens, two expansive living areas, a private office, two storage rooms, and a wine cellar.

Built in 2004 and fully renovated in 2017, the villa seamlessly combines timeless Mediterranean architecture with refined modern comfort.

Every element showcases superior craftsmanship:

• Lighting fixtures by Mechini (Italy) adorned with Swarovski crystals
• Handcrafted MAGGI MASSIMO kitchens (Italy)
• Exquisite Theodore Alexander marquetry furniture in the office and dining room
• Solid wood doors and wardrobes throughout
• Authentic antiques, including a cast iron fireplace from 1780 in the master suite
• Outdoors, a beautifully landscaped garden with mature palm trees and 300 sqm of manicured lawn surrounds a 10 x 4 m swimming pool, creating a serene private oasis.
• A shaded gazebo with lounge area and four parking spaces complete this elegant setting — perfect for both entertaining and tranquil family living.

The property offers flexibility, as the 160 sqm ground floor can function independently, with a separate entrance, ideal for guests or dual-family living.

Located in an area with an approved urban plan, the villa also benefits from an additional building allowance of approximately 600–700 sqm, offering potential for further development.

Foreign buyers automatically qualify for a Golden Visa (European residence permit) with the purchase.

Adding to its investment appeal, the property is situated only 500 meters from a major upcoming luxury resort and the largest casino in the Mediterranean, ensuring significant future value growth and exceptional potential for exploitation.
