Character Stone Cottage for Sale in 183 Kirazli Koy, Kusadasi, Aydin, Turkey

Artistic Retreat with Pool in Idyllic Aegean Village

True Escapism! For sale, an exceptional stone house with private courtyard and pool in ecological, organic village.

Hidden away behind high stone walls on the winding streets of traditional Kirazli Koy, in a valley that looks like Tuscany, 12km from the Aegean resort of Kusadasi, this house is full of character,ideal for the artistic soul seeking a new life abroad.

This is a completely one off, rebuilt stone house, approximately 100 year’s old but with some parts dating back 170 years. It is a complete renovation that took nearly two years in the design and build. Every stone taken out of the original building was reused in rebuilding it and the house fits seamlessly into its picturesque village environment.

Each of the three large bedrooms with their open ceilings and exposed black pine king beams has it’s own ensuite bathroom and the bathrooms feature walk in showers, designer taps and sinks and in the master bath has a huge bath tub.

There are two large salons, one with a large fireplace with wood burning stove and the other with its own terrace and views across the village.

The country style kitchen features porcelain floor tiles, a double porcelain sink, black granite worktops and all appliances are included.

This is a house to enjoy living in, it has all the modern necessities including air conditioning, high speed adsl connected and three phase electricity and yet it has atmosphere and character with its exposed honey coloured stone walls, courtyard full of flowering scented plants, suntrap patios and balconies and views of pine forests from every window.

Given the flexibility of the property and its location in Turkey's first ecological village there are commercial options to explore. The large and airy studio would make an ideal gallery for a potter or artist, but equally could be used as a lecture room for someone wanting to run art, creative writing or yoga holidays. With small alterations it would make a fantastic day spa. All of these type of commercial endeavours would be welcome in the locality. The current owner can help with business planning and marketing.

Additional land is readily available for those interested in getting involved with organic olive or cherry farming and local workers are available to manage your orchards if you are not here all the time. All of this can be set up for you by the current owner.

The word “unique” gets overused in regard to property but this house really lives up to the definition. For the buyer looking for a true relocation home then this house should be viewed, it offers the security of village life but with privacy, character and charm to spare.

I've lived in this house for the last two years and it really is beautiful and easy to live in. The small garden grows beautifully, flowering plants ramble over old bricks and clamber stone walls; the pool is clear and cool and lovely to lie in on hot summer days and at night the wind in the pine trees sounds like surf. I have a very genuine reason for sale and I'm happy to talk to anyone informally about the house, just give me a ring.

    This property is priced to sell urgently and is well below agents valuations.
