Akrotiri Waterfront Plot For Sale, Machairida
Macharida, Akrotiri area, 73100, Chania, Crete
  • Price on Request

Description


Beachfront plots in the Prefecture of Chania are very scarce, and this is a particularly lovely location on the northwest coast of the Peninsula of Akrotiri.

The plot is reached from a quiet road and slopes down the hillside to a lovely pebble beach at the bottom. The views are to the west, so the sunset will be fabulous!

The slope of the land is fairly steep in places, but there is a level area about halfway down which appears perfect for construction.

Our engineering and architectural team is equipped to collaborate with you in designing a cutting-edge project that not only boasts high aesthetic standards but also seamlessly integrates into the delicate local ecosystem. Additionally, we offer the option to construct a passive house as part of our development solutions, showcasing our commitment to sustainable building practices.

An Exceptional Real Estate Investment Opportunity

Situated in the area of Machairida, Akrotiri, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt locations of the northeastern side of Chania, this exquisite plot of land is an outstanding example of the perfect property investment.

Part of the plot falls within the building zone, so this means that the plot can be developed quite extensively. The views are mainly southwest facing, across the sea and towards Chania town, and once the olive trees have been pruned, the views would open out much further.

Water and electricity are close by, and the access road is good, so this should be a relatively easy site for construction purposes.

Location Description

Located just a short distance from Chania, Machairida Beach is situated approximately 14km northeast and 1km west of Chorafakia village, near Tersanas. Its name is thought to derive from the rocky cape at its northern end, which resembles a knife (“machairi” in Greek), or possibly from the Gladiolis italicus flower, also known as “macherida” in Greek.

The beach faces southwest, typically offering calm waters and features white sand surrounded by rugged rocks, creating a picturesque setting with turquoise waters. The sea remains crystal clear due to frequent changes in currents, maintaining the beach’s cleanliness. While not fully organized, some residences have been built near the beach in recent years.

Machairida is popular among nudists and is well-known in Chania’s LGBT community. The coastline is rich in wildlife, and the nearby Machairida pond, resembling a crater and located near the main road, hosts water snakes, turtles, and seagulls. A city bus route to Stavros passes through Tersanas and continues to Machairida Beach, providing convenient access for visitors.
