The very epitome of contemporary and elegant style, this superb designer built villa occupies one of the most sought-after locations in Gundogan, Bodrum. Situated on the sloping ‘sunny side’ of the horse-shoe shaped bay, it has fantastic sea views overlooking the beach and old harbour.
The town and resort of Gundogan is much sought after and slightly more traditional than some of its neighbouring towns. In recent years it has become ‘the’ place to be with its trendy boutique hotels and restaurants lining the bay. However, it still retains its traditional charm and just 6km to both Yalikavak and Turkbuku, makes Gundogan an even more unique spot for a holiday home. Bodrum centre is a 20 minute drive.
This 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom property simply oozes style which makes it one of the most exclusive homes in Gundogan. Light and airy open plan living spaces allow you to see straight through to the pool area and the sea beyond. The 380m² of indoor living space and the various outdoor terraces and chill out areas guarantee plenty of privacy. Chic designer furnishings of the highest quality are teamed with state-of-the-art appliances to offer supreme comfort and entertainment.
Outside areas are also designed with meticulous attention to detail and surrounded by beautifully arranged private grounds including a 9m x 3.5m infinity pool.
Gundogan is situated between Yalikavak and Turkbuku on the Northern side of the Bodrum Peninsula. It is 25km from Bodrum and 7km from Yalikavak. Gundogan is a small traditional town on the Bodrum Peninsula. Historically, it was known as Farilya, today it is referred to as Gundogan, meaning “sunrise”. The ancient Lelegian city of Madnasa is nearby, and ancient rock formations to the east of the town are still visible.
It is still an important town for sponge diving, fishing, olive and tangerine growing. The old and also new settlers have protected the character of the town and new developments have not touched the older houses surrounded with trees of mandarins, olive, pomegranates, bananas and oak. The scent of orange trees welcoming visitors along the sea-side still remains. The hillsides in this area of the Peninsula are shrouded in pine trees, and give Gundogan a different vibe than some of the more barren looking parts of the Peninsula. These hillsides are perfect for hiking and to explore the area for Leleg ruins.
Gundogan is where many Turkish families from Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir etc have holiday homes which they visit each year which makes the town more ‘Turkish in feel compared with some of the neighboring town. However, over the last decade, Gundogan has become popular with developers investing in the area, building smart hotels and holiday homes inhabited and frequented by tourists from other countries. The area now has a very smart, cosmopolitan feel but retains its traditional charm. It is also less expensive than other parts of the Peninsula.
Restaurants, cafes and boutique hotels line the horseshoe shaped beach, some have wooden jetties stretching out from the beach over the water with large colorful cushions and loungers provided for sunbathing and dining. Boutique hotels mix with traditional eating places, giving the area a traditional and chilled out atmosphere. Relax and take it easy with the local delicacies or a chilled glass of wine.
