Forget The Eurozone And Florida – Buy Luxury Property In Turkey

Jan. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- With Spanish, other “Eurozone” property and long-haul markets like Florida looking distinctly less attractive to UK investors, attention is turning to Turkey, where sterling is still holding up well against the Turkish lira. This is particularly true of the beautiful coast line of the Turkish Mediterranean. Recently, the FT highlighted the country’s emergence as a second-home market where top quality projects are appearing, suggesting that the ‘wise’ house hunter is now concentrating on areas poised to perform well over the medium to long term’.

There is luxury property now on offer at the attractive Calista Villas. 3 and 4 bedroom detached leasehold homes have been built by the well reputed Turkish construction group, Ozkar and marketed exclusively by Anglo-Turkish and Seda Consulting of London. The properties are situated in the tranquil village of Belek, in the Antalya province on the Mediterranean coast. The site nestles in the foothills of Olympos, on the fringe of pine forests, and enjoys spectacular, uninterrupted views of the sea and nearby islands. Close to the golf courses and within easy reach of unspoilt blue flag beaches, Calista Villas offers  swimming, sunbathing, sailing, golf, trekking or skiing in all four seasons and so carries the potential for year-round holiday rentals, with property prices starting from £5.000.000

“These luxury villas would make ideal second homes for busy professionals in search of an idyllic getaway or permanent retreats for those approaching retirement or seeking a change in lifestyle,” says General Manager of Calista Luxury Resort, Ali Kizildag.  “You could enjoy all four seasons amidst Sea, Golf and Spa for the price of a standard holiday Villa on the Spanish costas, thanks to competitive local pricing and a reasonable exchange rate, currently around £1 to 2.27 Turkish lira. It’s also a good prospect for investors looking for stable rental income and medium-long term capital growth.”

Just 30 minutes by car from the airport of the cosmopolitan town, Antalya, Calista Villas were listed recently in the ‘What’s Hot 2009’ resorts by The Sunday Times. Calista Villas is a low density development of 1 VIP Luxury Villa with private pool and garden, in individual 1500m2 18 pax . 3 Superior Villas (Aquarius, Aries,  Andromeda) 260 m2 8 pax. 10 Twin Villas (Scorpion, Gemini, Libra, Orion, Dorado) 150 m2  4 Pax.

Apart from the regional capital with its upmarket shops, restaurants and hotels, Antalya is just 22 km from the fully equipped Antalya Marina. A similar distance away is the ancient city of Phaselis, renowned for its Roman antiquities.  Further afield is Turkey’s premier golf resort, Belek.

Close by are the ruins of two ancient cities, Perge with its Hellenistic gates and fine stadium and Aspendos which is famous for its magnificent amphitheatre which hosts an opera and ballet festival every June.

Belek near Antalya is a modern resort where everything has been designed with the holidaymaker in mind.  Most of the hotels lead down to the beach, which is a vast expanse of coarse golden sand which stretches in both directions as far as the eye can see.

The village itself is located in the golf courses, in an area of comfortably low humidity around a thousand metres above sea level, and commands magnificent views of mountains, pine forests and the Mediterranean. Despite the breathtaking natural scenery that surrounds it, Belek has a modern service infrastructure, including mains water and fibre optic communication links, and the Calista Villas has a fitness centre, Spa, Golf, Restaurant ,Private Beach, café and tennis courts.

With more than 300 days of sunshine a year and a climate that compares with any in the Mediterranean, the Antalya province is already an attractive destination, but golf in close proximity in Belek adds a unique extra dimension that should appeal to property buyers and holidaymakers alike.

“It’s a magnificent location, with hot, dry summers and mild, warm winters, and there’s so much to do in the immediate vicinity,” says Kizildag. “The affordability of Turkish property combined with a comparatively low cost of living, makes this development an attractive place to invest, whether you’re a sunseeker, nature lover, sailing or golf enthusiast, because you can really enjoy year-round usage.”
