The team at Turkey Homes are delighted to present this lovely traditional cottage in Dalyan for sale, a tranquil river town just off the southwestern coastline of Turkey with breathtaking natural surroundings and a traditional atmosphere.
The stunning town of Dalyan has been protected from mass developments and tourism, even though it offers one of the shortest transfer times compared to all the nearby resorts, located only 18km from Dalaman International Airport. Situated between the popular lively resort of Marmaris and the busy cosmopolitan harbour town of Fethiye, Dalyan is an ideal place for exploring many of the resorts that Dalaman airport serves.
A lovely town surrounded by stunning mountains, green fields, olive groves and various fruit orchards, all laid along the beautiful river that flows through the town from the nearby lake in Koycegiz to the north, meeting the Mediterranean Sea 12km away at the beach of Iztuzu, also known as Turtle Beach, which is a natural breeding spot for the endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtles.
Location
This traditional 2-bedroom cottage for sale in Dalyan is in the tranquil countryside area of Arikbasi, located on the edge of the town, which can be reached by a healthy stroll of 20 minutes or hopping on the regular bus service.
The local area offers a handful of convenience stores and restaurants. A local school or, again, a short 5-minute drive finds the larger nearby town of Ortaca offering a wide range of shops and supermarkets, with Dalaman airport only 15 minutes away.
Arikbasi is a traditional area offering orchards and farmland surrounded by stunning pine-clad mountains, a true idyllic Turkish retreat. 
Property Details
Peacefully located close to the mountains in a large private land plot of 500m2, walled and gated and enjoying privacy from the quiet passing lane with a line of mature trees. This traditional cottage is accessed from a wrought iron gate that leads to the entrance terrace.
The vast garden has various mature trees; it has not been maintained for a while. A little care can turn this vast garden into an oasis, and there is more than ample space for a swimming pool should you desire and choose to have one.
A traditional Mugla village house that needs serious refurbishment, built over just one floor with a huge terrace with a stunning wood ceiling. The house offers a beautiful example of traditional wood shutters.
Entered from the terrace via a traditional wooden door opening into a hallway that hosts doors of all rooms. The first door opens into a spacious open-plan living area with a corner fireplace and a kitchen to one side, requiring a complete upgrade. The lounge also has direct access to the terrace.
Opposite the entrance door leads down to a short hallway for access to the 2 bedrooms. Two sizable double bedrooms offered stunning nature views via shuttered windows, and both shared a fully tiled wet-style family shower room.
Overall, a beautiful traditional Dalyan property with great potential for family holidays, ideal as a year-round home or a great investment in Dalyan with the addition of a pool and a few further improvements, with easy access to two town centres, the beach and airport, walking distance to local amenities and bus services, and stunning nature views.
