Turkey Homes are extremely pleased to offer this stunning private bungalow in Bodrum for sale, located on the outskirts of the small fishing village of Gumusluk on the western side of the Bodrum peninsula in the Aegean region of southwestern Turkey.
The hillsides that surround the Gumusluk area are protected green belt land, therefore over exposure of the resort will never be seen, it will remain as beautiful as it is today sitting on the remains of the ancient city of Myndos, which sadly slid into the sea after an earthquake many years ago. The remains of the city's foundations can still be seen today, creating an under water pathway that splits the Gumusluk bay into two halves with the beautiful beach on one side and the harbour on the other.
The underwater pathway can be walked, wading across the knee deep water, reaching the nearby Rabbit Island, which gives you stunning views looking towards the Gumusluk Bay, and chance to try your skills at diving from the low rocks.
The beach front is lined with restaurants, many specialising in fish and seafood dishes, a very popular place to dine for both Turkish and International tourists, and all are full to the brim at peak times, though the prices can be a little high the views are simply breathtaking especially at sunset.
Private Location
Found on the outskirts of Gumusluk and Ortakent in the small peaceful and traditional village of Derekoy, a beautiful natural area, with the centre hosting a couple of brightly lit Gourd shops, small cafes and coffee shops, small convenience stores and a weekly street market every Tuesday, selling a range of freshly grown organic fruit and vegetables, and not much more.
An area often occasionally chosen by ex-pats for its tranquillity and stunning nature away from the busy Bodrum areas, with regular bus services to Gumusluk for the stunning beaches and the busy Bodrum Town where you can shop till your heart is content or spend a lively evening out on the town, yet be back home to the peaceful environment of Derekoy in around 15-20 minutes.
Built on a secluded land plot of approximately 1,000m2, surrounded by over 100 mature trees and backed by a large protected grapevine, safe in the knowledge the land behind will never be given building permission and your solitude disturbed.
The plot is entered from the front, via narrow country lane with a screened sliding wrought iron gate accessing a large driveway and parking area for up to 4 cars. Beyond the parking area, the stunning gardens are totally screened by the trees giving you 100% privacy, with large lawned areas, rustic stone pathways, various shrubbery and flowering plants.
Offering ample space in the garden for a private swimming pool should you desire, and the garden hosts a lovely vine covered pergola seating area for those long hot summers of out door living in the shade
