Description

This luxury detached villa property is one of six ” Kalkan Mountain Villas” located in Islamlar, an area of outstanding natural beauty in the foothills of the Taurus mountains near Kalkan. Only 20 min drive from Kalkan or Patara.

You’ll find this small community of 6 mountain villas, each with 4 bedrooms. Prestigious gated community comprising 6 exquisite holiday villas with seaviews.

Each villa provides stunning views over glinting tomato fields to mountain peaks, Patara beach and the Turquoise coast of the Mediterranean, with even Rhodos visible on the clearest day. As the evening breeze cools and the sun gently sets, you can watch the stars above, and look down on the lights below.

Islamlar enjoys an ideal climate of warmth without the heat, and fresh mountain air without the cold. Life is easy with shared connections and facilities, lighted access road, mains services, telephone, broadband, maintenance and if you’re energetic, private tennis court.

Set among fields and lush forests of cedar and pine, olive groves, walnut trees and vine, the air is filled with the fragrances of jasmine, lemon and thyme. Small waterfalls, springs and mountain streams provide constant fresh water for Islamlar, giving natural irrigation, and feeding the trout pools that supply the friendly local restaurants.

Built on a bedrock of limestone and finished using local stonemasons and craftsmen, the villa is individually designed to fit naturally into the landscape. All stone carved from the bedrock is re-used in construction of the villas or boundary walls. Following the contours of the hillside, some villas are built on two levels, others on three. The result is a unique contemporary design – spacious, full of natural light, and specified to the highest quality standards for the most discerning tastes.

Top architects incorporated the extraordinary views into each villa’s design using large, picture-frame windows and sliding doors. You will look out over the Taurus mountains during breakfast, see Patara beach from your lounge – and swim toward the Mediterranean in your private swimming pool.

First floor
There are 3 bedrooms on this level, 2 of which can be arranged either in twin or king size configuration providing for plenty of flexibility to accommodate your party.

Walnut flooring has been used in this space and throughout the villa.
