New Villa (A)

Too Late! It's SOLD!

It's very rare to find houses for sale a short walk from Finikounda centre, and an even shorter walk from a 2km long sandy beach . . .

New Villa (A above) is a two bedroom, two bathroom, single storey house. It's 93 sq m, including a neighbouring garage/workshop/utility room/bedroom of 18 sq m. There's a large 60 sq m terrace.

The house is set in a 1,000 sq m plot, planted with mature olive trees. It's just 3 minutes walk from Anemomilos beach, and 7 minutes walk from the centre of Finikounda village, with its cluster of shops, cafés and tavernas.

The villa is comfortable for a couple who often entertain visitors; or alternatively, it's excellent holiday accommodation for a family with three children, one of whom would sleep on the living room divan. Of course, more could be accommodated if you convert the neighbouring utility room to a bedroom.

Construction is nearly complete - Aug 2009 - with kitchens, wardrobes etc to be added to the buyer's spec.

Price? You'll pay about 10% premium for being within walking distance of the beach and village; however, holiday visitors won't be car dependent. Our asking price is €230,000, but this includes a €20,000 allowance for fitting out the kitchen, then adding wardrobes, solar heating and air conditioning to your specification. Do your own thing, and we'll sell for less. Biological sewage disposal has been provided for €8,000; much cheaper to run than the usual sealed cess pit with its regular emptying costs of €200 every 3 months or so..

The Plot

A total plot (marked out in yellow) is 3,500 sq m, mostly level, and planted with olive trees of various ages. There are two wells, suitable for garden irrigation, an old ruin which used to house a family of eight, and two villas.

The local beach, only 200m distant, is about 3 minutes walk down a very gentle slope. Finikounda centre is a flat 9 minutes walk. Or a brisk 7 minute climb over the hill - if you prefer some exercise.

Plot ownership is through a commonly used system, often called 'horizontal ownership' in Greece. The whole 3,500 sq m is jointly owned by A and C. The owner of house A will then have exclusive rights to use the orange area. This is presently marked as about 1,000 sq m, but a larger or smaller area is possible. House C has similar rights over the white area. Both A and C have right of way along the 3m wide access road to the north.

Perspective View

This perspective view, looking to the north east, gives a good idea of what the finished houses will look like.

It has some minor errors - some windows are incorrect, shutters and doors will be white; and the walkway connecting workshop/utility to the house is further back. Also, both houses are set among olive trees . . .
