Turkey Homes are pleased to offer this spacious detached villa in Bolu for sale, a little-known province that sits in northwestern Turkey between the two major cities of Istanbul and Ankara.
Until very recent time Bolu, to foreign tourists, was just another unheard of town in Turkey, though highly popular with Turkish tourists as a wonderful natural area with a stunning mountain range and acres of countryside and beautiful natural lakes, however, the area has now begun to attract a small, yet growing number of foreign visitors attracted by the nature of the area and has been referred to as the Swiss Alps of Turkey.
Bolu has also attracted a number of property investors from overseas, as they see the area's potential as a growing holiday destination which can offer a year-round rental income as Bolu offers activities throughout the year, from summer of boating and fishing on the lakes to winters of skiing in the mountains or ice skating in the frozen lakes, along with nature trails for walkers and cyclists, and shaded summer picnics in the dense forest areas.
Property investors have also been attracted by the excellent value for money property prices, with many moving away from the soaring property prices in Istanbul, and this is the perfect time to buy property in Bolu as prices are forecast to rise as the area's popularity reaches more foreign tourists.
