We at Turkey Homes are pleased to offer this stunning Fethiye property for sale in the peaceful traditional farming village of Uzumlu, on the outskirts of Fethiye in southwestern Turkey.
Nestled in the hillsides on the outskirts of the busy harbour town of Fethiye, the village is surrounded by some wonderful scenery, with tall mountain, beautiful pine forests and lots of green farmland.
Life in the village is centred on the village square with a handful of local shops, traditional restaurants and a few bars, and the traditional Turkish tea shop, where the locals gather for a game of backgammon, board games or cards over a few glasses of Cay (Turkish tea).
Most of the new homes in the village area set back behind the village centre, some having lovely elevated positions overlooking the valley and the local mountains and enjoying the cool mountain breezes throughout the summer months. The centre of the village has more of the old traditional stone houses with whitewashed walls adorned with beautiful flowering Bougainvillaea draped from the overhanging balconies. Some of these old homes have been transformed into shops and restaurants with the upper levels still being used as homes by the locals.
The detached villa sits towards the back of the village, right on the edge of a beautiful pine filled area with just a handful of friendly neighbours. Its elevated position enables you to peer over much of the valley and the distant mountains.
Set on a huge private plot of 786m2 surrounded by a natural stone built wall which encases the villa for privacy and security. Entered via sliding wrought iron gates onto a private stone driveway at the side of the pool area. The gardens are set on tiered levels due to the contour of the local land, with some wonderful planted area, lawns, stone and gravel pathways, all very well maintained.
The villa's main entrance sits at the rear under an open covered porch, entered by a steel security door opening into a spacious reception hallway which hosts a guest shower room/WC and marble stairs leading to the other levels.
Leaving the hallway, you enter an elongated living area with an L-shape design, with the lounge/diner stretching the full width of the villa, having several sets of patio doors all giving access to a huge shaded balcony overlooking the pool area and much of the valley. Ideal for alfresco dining, relaxing with a book or sipping a cocktail as dusk as the sun sets over the mountains. The balcony has a stone stairway to one side, allowing access down to the pool and garden areas.
Around the corner from the lounge is the fully fitted modern kitchen, lined with quality cream wooden units, grey-flecked granite work surfaces and cream tiled splash backs and terra cotta tiled floors. A single double glazed door to the rear of the kitchen opens to give access to a rear terrace for further alfresco dining.
Heading downstairs to the basement level, you find three good sized bedrooms all with sliding patio doors which access the pool area directly and sharing two modern family bathrooms on the same level.
Ascending to the top floor we have two large master bedrooms, both having the luxury and privacy of en-suite facilities and access to a huge shared balcony boasting the best views in the house.
The property is in the market partially furnished as the owner will take certain items with them, and it does come with heating pipes installed should the new owner wish to instal the full heating system for the colder winter months.
Overall, an ideal family home suitable for all year living in a natural green environment. Also perfect as a buy-to-let option for investment in Turkey attracting those looking to get away from it all in a peaceful location, yet just a short drive to the larger town for all the everyday amenities.
