Description:

Ideal for your investment plans, the land is found just 2km from the heart of Rethymnon, offering uninterrupted views of the entire area of the town of Rethymnon, but also the port of Chania from the top of the property.

The road leading to the property is asphalt, except for the last 800m before the property, which is still a dirt road. Electricity and telephone are not more than 1km away, since there are habitable houses below the land.

Totalling 229.006,11m², 177.172,45m² of the land are clear from the forestry department and therefore buildable. The rest layout of 51.833,66m² are stated from the forestry department as "private forest". The area is not buildable, however can be calculated in order to have more square metre to build on the rest of the land. In this "private" forest, the forestry department allows paths, benches and a general form of the area, as long as trees are not cut and the natural forest is not destroyed.

At the moment the property is characterized from outstanding natural beauty consisting of a lot of olive and cypress trees.

Apart from the road that is on the side of the property (through which access is gained) there is also another old road ("donkey road") on the land. Therefore you can also divide the whole land into 4.000m² pieces of land, as long as they have 25m face to a road (donkey road, dirty road or asphalt).

Depending on your investment plans, there are three (3) ways to develop this land:

* Create an ultra luxury resort on the whole land which would in this case allow you to built up to 30.194m².

* Construct a charitable institution such us hospital, nursing home etc for a 136.000m² building capacity.

* Sub-divide the land into 40 plots of land of 5.400m² each. In this case for each plot 225m² would be at your disposal for the building of an amazing villa with sweeping sea vistas. So, the total building density can reach up to 9.000m².

The land was subject of being part of the building plan in 2010, as soon as this is approved, 45.300 buildable square meters will provide even more choices and opportunities.
