Country Estate with Guest House for Sale in Galatas, Chania

The elevated dining and kitchen area is reached by a few marble steps, creating a natural separation between the different living spaces while maintaining an open atmosphere. The spacious kitchen provides generous work and storage areas and has direct access to the garden.

The private bedroom area comprises three bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room and a main bathroom with bathtub. The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite WC, while another bedroom opens directly onto a private balcony overlooking the garden.

The residence is equipped for year-round use with central radiator heating, air conditioning and solar water heating. The main living area also features a powerful 24,000 BTU air-conditioning unit.

The outdoor areas are a defining feature of the estate. A covered veranda at the main entrance provides an additional sheltered sitting area, while a dedicated outdoor BBQ area creates an ideal setting for gatherings and outdoor dining. The generous grounds also offer space for the potential addition of a swimming pool, subject to the necessary approvals.

The mature grounds are home to approximately 55 productive olive trees, three lemon trees, around 15 orange and mandarin trees, palms, pine trees and a small vineyard. This established Mediterranean landscape provides a level of privacy and natural character that would be difficult and costly to recreate on a newly developed property.

The independent 35 sq.m. guest house provides additional accommodation completely separate from the main residence. Arranged as a ground-floor studio, it includes its own kitchen, bathroom with shower, air conditioning and radiator heating. With its private entrance, it is ideal for guests, extended family or independent accommodation.

The estate also benefits from three covered parking spaces and substantial storage facilities suitable for household, garden and agricultural use.

Offering approximately 6,000 sq.m. of private land, two independent residences and an established Mediterranean landscape, this property presents a distinctive opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious country home close to Chania. It is particularly suited as a permanent family residence, private retreat or second home for those who value privacy, mature grounds and authentic Cretan surroundings.

Country Estate with Guest House for Sale in Galatas, Chania. Location Information:

The villages of Galatas and Daratso were initially small hill villages overlooking the beach of Kalamaki a little to the West of Chania.

These villages saw some development in tourism some years ago, especially near the sea.

The lower parts became known as Kato (meaning ‘down’ or ‘low’ in Greek) Daratso and Kato Galatas.

Galatas and Daratso were also ‘discovered’ by Cretans who wanted to escape living in the city of Chania and have become quite a suburbian by now although they still retain a quiet, residential atmosphere.
