Turkey Homes are delighted to present a little Turkish history with this stunning authentic stone villa in Alacati for sale, a small and rather elite fishing village in the Izmir province in the west of Turkey.
Alacati has been a popular destination for windsurfers for a number of years, and in recent times the town’s charms have also transformed it into a major tourist destination, one of the most charming and tasteful towns in Turkey, with narrow cobbled streets, lined whitewashed houses, their wooden shutters painted various shades of blue and green and adorned with stunning Bougainvillaea floral displays.
Alacati offers a beautiful sandy beach in a small bay with shallow water. However, the beach is located a little way from the village centre, and the perfect windy conditions make it perfect for water sports fanatics, now considered one of the world's top destinations for kite and windsurfing.
Property in Alacati is often quite chic, and prices are quite high yet still quite affordable in some cases, with homes ranging from stunning restored village stone houses to newer, more modern homes on the outskirts of the village, a little something to suit all lifestyle requirements.
Property Details
This stunning restored stone villa for sale in Alacati is located right in the heart of the village, sitting right on one of the narrow cobbled streets of the village with all the local amenities a stone's throw away, busy little street restaurants and cafes, local shops and supermarkets, antique shops and more.
The beach of Ilica is located around 1km away, reached via a healthy stroll or a short drive; here, you find a string of waterfront restaurants, many specialising in fish and seafood menus and a selection of private beach clubs that offer lively parties that often continue into the early hours.
From the street, the villa is accessed via large arched wooden gates that open into the small but very private mature gardens, surrounded by a high stone wall with lush green lawns, trees, an abundance of shrubs and flowers, and crazy-paved pathways.
Completely restored around 30-35 years ago with many of the property's traditional features still in place, light blue wooden windows with wooden shutters in a slightly darker shade and arched glazed doors.
The interior shows off stunning exposed stone walls, which are an excellent form of insulation, retaining the heat in the winter and keeping it out in the summer, along with stunning beamed ceilings, all very cosy with a wonderful homely character.
The property's ground floor offers an open-plan layout with a semi-open kitchen. However, all areas are clearly defined, with the lounge area hosting a huge open stone fireplace separated from the dining area via a wide-open doorway.
The dining area extends out slightly to a small conservatory-style seating area. Also, it offers access to the private gardens, where you find a stone terraced alfresco dining area with a ceiling fan for the hot summer months. Completing the ground floor of the villa is a handy guest WC.
Wooden stairs lead up the first floor of the villa, which offers you the 3 bedrooms, 1 large master bedroom that enjoys the privacy of an en-suite shower room and access to a large shaded wooden balcony overlooking the gardens.
The other 2 bedrooms are good-sized double rooms with little inset windows overlooking the cobbled street and local area, sharing a large family shower room.
This floor also hosts a fourth room, currently used as a second lounge/hobby/office, offering views over the rear gardens via a large bay-style window, easily converted to a fourth bedroom if required.
The villa is offered to the Alacati real estate market unfurnished, though it does come all-inclusive of a fully working central heating system.
All-in-all, a beautiful authentic home ideal as a summer holiday home, a year-round home with its central location or an ideal investment in Turkey for a high rental income.
