Turkey Homes are delighted to offer this well-presented contemporary Bodrum villa for sale, peacefully located overlooking the stunning bay of Gumusluk on the western shores of the Bodrum peninsula in the Aegean region of South-West Turkey.
Gumusluk is one of the oldest settlements in Bodrum and sits on the ruins of the ancient Myndos city, which slid into the sea many years ago after a long-forgotten earthquake; some of the foundations of the town are still visible in the shallow crystal clear waters of the sea between the bay and the local Rabbit Island.
The hillsides surrounding the village are protected green against any other building to protect the local history. Therefore the rolling hillsides of the town will remain untouched, and the village will not become over-commercialised like other resorts around the peninsula.
Though a small village, it's not all about holidays; many people live in the area full-time, both Turkish and ex-pats, offering a wonderful laid-back lifestyle, with ample amenities in the village of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets etc., yet just a short drive from the centre of Bodrum and the marina town of Yalikavak, both offering a rather vibrant nightlife.
Tranquil Location
Located in a peaceful spot just 350m from the sea and a short 5-minute drive to the centre of Gumusluk with its famous fish and seafood restaurants and the beautiful quiet bay of Kayunbaba, slightly elevated above sea level, backed by Gumusluk's wonderful green hillsides and offering unspoilt panoramic views over the azure of the Aegean and the nearby Greek Islands.
Local amenities offer shops and supermarkets within a brief walk, or you can take the road to Yalikavak or Bodrum for a more extensive selection or enjoy a lively night on the town, as Gumusluk's nightlife is all about relaxation and sunsets waterfront dining.
Exterior and Gardens
The villa enjoys a large private plot of 1,600m2, immaculately landscaped with lush green lawns, exotic plants and low trimmed hedges, so as not to spoil the views, with neat crazy paved stone pathways all leading from the villa to a substantial wooden decked terrace located to the front of the estate, encompassing a family sized infinity swimming pool with shallow raised sections that meet a vast panoramic window in the lounge.
Access to the grounds is via a gated entrance below the central gardens, offering ample private and shaded parking and lovely peaceful mature gardens. A marble stairway leads up the stunning gardens and the house, with the stairway safely guarded by aluminium and glass railings.
The villa then sits to the rear of the plot, designed by a renowned Istanbul architect known for his excellent use of natural light, an outstanding contemporary design with simple yet stunning traditional features of natural stone and wood, and a conventional Bohemian flat roof.
Interior Aspects
Entered via a steel security door which opens into the central reception hallway beaming with light from large windows, offering a lovely modern family/guest bathroom and winding marble staircase with aluminium handrails and stylish art stone wall leading to the upper floor.
From the hallway, you enter into a vast and bright open plan living area, laid with polished marble flooring and painted with clean whitewashed walls, subtly lit via recessed ceiling spotlights and concealed lighting features, with ceilings having a unique artificial white beam effect.
The living area offers a stunning modern fitted kitchen/diner to one side, decked out with almost invisible clean white units topped with white granite work surfaces, a marching central island, and a wine rack, all finished with white satin painted walls. A door from the kitchen takes you into a large utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and lots of storage space, with a door opening out to the rear gardens, a perfect hidden area to dry the washing.
The remaining living area offers two seating areas, one that sits in the centre with that huge picture window looking out to the swimming pool with outstretched views over the bay, and one on the far side, which features a stunning modern living flame fireplace that sits in front of a nature view window.
Both the far lounge and the kitchen/diner offer patio doors out to the poolside terraces, protected from the pool via glass railings, offering lots of space for alfresco dining and lounging at any time of the day, sea view lunches, or sunset meals with the family.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, you have access from the landing to 3 bedrooms, all large double rooms with fantastic sea and nature views and all with the privacy of en-suite facilities, with the 2 side bedrooms having double patio doors opening to French style glass balconies, and the main master bedroom also having a sauna room and its private balcony above the pool, again with a fantastic view out to sea.
The owners are offering the villa to the Bodrum real estate market partially furnished. However, the selling price does include all white goods, air conditioning throughout, a complete central heating system with panel radiators and an entire intruder alarm system.
Overall this would make a stunning family home for year-round living, relaxing holidays or a tremendous high-end investment to attract discerning guests for very high rental yields; very close to the sea and local amenities yet peacefully located and just a short drive to the centre, Yalikavak and Bodrum Town.
