We at Turkey Homes are truly delighted to offer this beautiful traditional stone villa in Bodrum for sale, located in the peaceful village of Gokcebel in the yachting town of Yalikavak on the north-west side of the peninsula in the Aegean region of southwestern Turkey.
Gokcebel is a delightful authentic fishing and farming village set in the hillsides of Yalikavak, a great place for nature lovers with its stunning flower-filled fields and acres of fruit orchards, with many of its homes, both modern and traditional, often having stunning sea views and a tranquil setting, and all a short driving distance to the exclusive lifestyle of Yalikavak.
As more and more property buyers are now searching for property in more secluded areas, Gokcebel is seeing a small number of new modern complexes developing on its hillsides, however, because of Gokcebel's lack of mass tourism, it remains tranquil offering a peaceful back-to-nature style of living.
Amenities in the village are quite restricted to local shops and the odd traditional restaurants, though just a couple of minutes drive towards Yalikavak you can stumble on a selection of grocery stores and supermarkets for you weekly supplies, and further on you hit the centre of Yalikavak with all its fine restaurants and bars and the up-market Port Palmarina.

Located just 4km from the centre of Yalikavak and Palmarina is this stunning traditional stone cottage, full of character set in its own private rustic walled gardens, surrounded by the lush green hillsides for a calm and tranquil lifestyle with the nearest beach just 2km away.
The property sits in the heart of the village, with a bunch of friendly neighbours, both Turkish and foreign, with the local supermarket, shops and quaint traditional restaurants just 500m away.
The manageable plot of 350m2 offers large rustic stone terraces, with age-old mature trees, various shrubs and pretty flowering plants, all blending perfectly against the natural landscapes of the area, with the terraces offering swinging hammocks, rustic wooden bench seating areas and pergola style areas with outdoor lounge furniture, all with partial shade from the overhanging trees.
The villa is over 60 years old, built entirely from local stone, lovingly and sensitively restored by the current owners who have put many hours of hard work into this stunning authentic Bodrum home, keeping many of the traditional features to keep some of the area's history alive in the modern world.
