The team at Turkey Homes are delighted to offer this renovated traditional villa in Fethiye for sale, located right in the heart of the beautiful hillside village of Uzumlu on the outskirts of the busy harbour town in the south-west of Turkey.
Uzumlu is surrounded by mountains that offer the most beautiful natural scenery, a real idyllic peace haven away from the hustle and bustle of all the holiday resorts, yet within a short 20-minutes drive you can be in the centre of Fethiye with all its everyday amenities of hospitals, several large supermarkets, furniture stores, banks you name it Fethiye has it and of course many stunning beaches.
The village itself has a small selection of local shops for your everyday necessities, and some lovely traditional restaurants and a fantastic wine house where you can sample some of the locally produced wines from across the region.
Homes in or very close to the centre of the village are mostly traditional Turkish homes, many still inhabited by the locals, and the newer homes are located in areas surrounding the centre, with some offering fantastic views of the village from hillside locations, yet never too far from the hub of the village, where you can see the locals gathering after work in the tea gardens for a chat and a game of Tavla (Backgammon) or cards with a glass or two of Cay (Turkish tea).
Property Details
Located a couple of minutes walk from the friendly atmosphere of the village centre and its amenities is this old traditional stone cottage, settled on a private manageable sized corner plot of 220m2 and surrounded by a hand-built stone wall for privacy.
Recently completely renovated with a second-floor added for extra living space, with the stone walls still in place on the ground floor level to keep the authenticity of the property.

The inner gardens are well matured with olive trees, though in need of some green-fingered assistance or a touch of landscaping to give  you a lovely private garden area to potter around or relax and soak up the wonderful Turkish sunshine.
The property is entered from the rear via a new solid wooden door, slightly sheltered via a Yali style overhanging bay window above, with the door opening into the open-plan living area with stunning natural and whitewashed exposed stone walls, heavy wooden beamed ceilings and solid wood flooring, with each area clearly defined via open stone doorways and thick old wooden lintels - all very characteristic and authentic, though double glazed windows have replaced the old wooden windows.
The kitchen/diner offers a good range of modern pine units topped with quality granite work surfaces, all offering lots of natural lights via two large windows over the work surfaces and a wide set of patio doors that take you out to the garden along with offering the wonderful view of the surrounding mountains.
The lounge area, reached through the open stone doorway, features a  cosy open fireplace, though the current owners have used the chimney for pipes to a central soba (wood burning stove) placed in the centre of the room, ideal for heating  the whole of the ground floor area and for keeping the Turkish Cay pot nice and hot all day.
A wooden staircase in the lounge area takes you up the new first-floor level, with a closed storage area beneath and pine display shelving, with the lounge receiving natural light through nature view windows on both sides.
Heading upstairs to the newly added first floor, built of concrete and wood, you reach a long landing area with pine doors off to 3 bedrooms, all with solid wood floors and further pitched beamed ceilings, the first being a large master bedroom with a large wooden corner window with sash style openings offering wonderful views over the local area, with this room having the privacy of an en-suite shower room.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both good sized double rooms, one having  doors opening to a good sized nature view wooden balcony and both with the wooden Yali style bay windows for further stunning views of the area and mountains. These two bedrooms then share a separate family shower room on the same floor and all three bedrooms are fitted with electric wall mounted storage heaters.
The villa is on the Fethiye real estate market fully furnished as seen to include all white good and heaters.
An ideal home for year-round living in Uzumlu or an ideal investment in Turkey at an affordable price to attract nature and history lovers, all it needs is the gardens sorted and a few minor finishing touches.
