The Snobby area

 

Snobbys are only ever built in small private clusters, on developments in the region around the picturesque fishing village of Kolimbari, which provides all everyday amenities for the area around. The Kolimbari region stretches 30 km along the coast from Gerani near Platanias, through to the large market town of Kissamos in the west - an area where farming generates more income than tourism.

All Snobbys are set quietly away, often surrounded by olive trees or citrus groves, yet just a stroll from the centre of the village where you’ll invariably find a mini-market, a place to eat and a regular bus service.

  OLD VILLAGE WAY Development of just three homes
from 149,950€


 

This exclusive development of just three Snobbys is set beside a quiet tarmac lane leading to orange groves and old stone village houses. Set in a fertile green valley, Old Village Way is just a five minutes drive to the coast. The village square is only a few minutes stroll away, where you’ll find a kafenion, a mini-market, and there are regular visits from the baker and mobile shops.
This is a working village with a real sense of community. Pass the time of day with the locals in the kafenion and you’ll make friends for life. A five minute drive brings you to the coastal village of Tavronitis with all everyday amenities.

OLD VILLAGE WAY


 

A delightful site, set beside a tarmac lane, overlooking a sloping valley of olive and citrus groves - yet just a short stroll into the village.


Large spacious plots - only three houses
Set quietly away amidst orange groves,
yet close to the village
5 minutes drive to the beach
35 minutes to Chania Airport

The medieval stone city of Chania can be reached in 25 minutes and Chania International Airport in around 35 minutes. A few minutes walk down from the square and you’ll come to the road which runs south across the island to Paleochora on the Lybian Sea. Catch a bus from there - or by car - and the journey takes about 45 minutes through glorious mountain scenery.
Old Village Way comprises three different styled detached Snobbys. There is one, two storey, two bedroom Snobby - and two of our NEW two bedroom Snobby Bungalows with their wonderful roof terraces. All can have a pool and each home enjoys a spacious garden. There is off-road parking for each property and feature landscaping to make the development even more attractive.

Our Ligari development is set by an asphalt lane, which runs down through a dramatic gorge to a wonderful tiny cove just 450m away - perfect for fishing, snorkelling, or a leisurely swim, where you can top up your tan on the shingle beach - or sip a cold drink from the Kantina there - which also serves excellent Cretan food.

A baker and mobile shops call to the village everyday, and the tavernas and mini-market are open all year round. The picturesque fishing village of Kolimabri with all its amenities is

PLOT ONE - is a split level, three bedroom Posh Pad with an en-suite master bedroom and a spacious walled garden of 156 sq. m. set on two levels.

  VILLAGE WALK Development of just three homes
from 136,950€


 


 

First mentioned in the census of 1577 it is believed there was a village here centuries before that, while others claim this was the exact location of ancient Kydonia. Nowadays this traditional working village boasts a mini-market, kafenions, a taverna and has a regular bus service too.

Platanias is a 5 minute drive away, while Kolimbari takes 15 minutes and the old medieval stone city of Chania can be reached in less than 20 minutes. Chania International Airport, with its UK direct flights, takes 30 minutes, while Heraklion, Crete’s other airport is less than two hours away.

While the village has a mini-market, just a 2 minute drive from the development brings you to many shops

and tavernas, including a freezer centre run by an English couple that stocks frozen food from the UK.

Village Walk is a delightful development, offering the best of both worlds - the comfort of living in a friendly, traditional Cretan village - and the benefit of having the beach and shops just a 5 minute drive away.

Set on a quiet lane, close to the village square - the local amenities are just a short stroll away. Located amidst citrus trees and old village houses, the site looks out across an open green valley. We are building just three Snobbys at Village Walk - two Snobby Bungalows and a two storey original Snobby - each set within substantial private walled gardens and off-road parking.

 
     
 
 
   

THE GROVE

A great opportunity to buy a large plot and have a Snobby built to your personal design


Snobby goes large! Set directly off an excellent, wide tarmac road, a gravelled driveway leads down to the Snobby of your choice. The plot is in excess of half an acre and leads down to a tree fringed bubbling stream, where 300 square metres are covered by River Regulations, prohibiting further development. There is a building allowance of 200 sq. m. for the plot, which means you have the choice of having a Posh Pad built - and if your budget allows - a second property built to rent out to family and friends.

We will discuss your requirements and provide a quotation for the land, construction, fittings and all purchase costs within one, single all-inclusive price.

The plot is set amidst fields and orange groves on either side and is therefore very private. Previously a citrus grove, there are still many mandarin trees on the plot, and the site is less than a five minute drive into Voukolies, a market town with all everyday amenities, including a bank and town hall.

Travel eight minutes north from Voukolies and you come to the village of Tavronitis and its beach, fringed by shady Tamarind trees. Chania itself is less than half an hour away and the Airport is reached in just a 45 minute drive.

Voukolies stands on the road leading to the south of Crete and the seaside resort of Paliochera, is a 40 minute drive away.
