Yalikavak Estate With Breathtaking Views Of The Aegean Sea

Yalikavak Estate with Breathtaking Views of the Aegean Sea and Lush Surroundings
Just a few minutes from Yalikavak, by the historical village of Dirmil (a.k.a. Gokcebel), sits a unique estate with multiple dwellings, all with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and lush surroundings.
The estate built on a land of 5,000+ sqm comprises a 5-bedroom stone villa representing a stylish interpretation of local architecture, a large swimming pool with a gazebo, a double bedroom guest house, and a gardener’s shed/workshop, suitable as staff house as well.
Stone Villa
Renovated recently, the main Villa presents a modern, yet welcoming interpretation of local architecture, where nature is present in each room in the form of views, light, and air flowing through spaces.
The villa, which has five bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms and magnificent views of the ocean and surroundings, measures 350 sqm gross in total, with 280 sqm net usable area. Additional 100 sqm of terraces, pergolas and balconies around the house, and more than a 200 sqm of terrace by the pool make this property a special place for hosting and entertaining family and guests.
On the main floor, the house reflects a modern open living-concept where kitchen, dining room, and family room are positioned as interconnected spaces on a single axis. All rooms open towards the views and surrounding terraces.
A central island of granite in the kitchen provides a work-surface as well as a central point for gathering of friends. The island is surrounded by amazing custom-built cabinetry and professional-grade stainless steel appliances.
The adjoining room comprises a beautiful built-in banquet and a space for dining 10 people.
The family room, adorned with a stylish wood-burning stove, can be arranged in two configurations, with a section for study/library and a lounge section, as it currently stands, or the whole area could be used as a large living room.
The sea-view patio runs across the main core and is accessible through French doors and large sliding glass doors. A custom-built teak dining table for 12-14 on the kitchen patio is perfect for entertaining and enjoying outdoor dining throughout the year.
A cellar built behind stone walls in close proximity to the kitchen with an extra fridge, is perfect for storing wines, olive oils, bulk food, and bounty of produce from fresh markets around the peninsula.
The upper level, which is accessed via a wide and light-filled stairwell boasts two guest bedrooms, and a master suite. Both guest bedrooms are double with en-suite bathrooms, and have spectacular views of the sea and lush surroundings. One of these rooms has its own terrace of 20 sqm.
A hallway leads to the master suite comprising a spacious bedroom with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea, Yalikavak Marina, and the Greek (Dodecanese) Islands. The master bedroom connects to an elegant launderette with plenty of storage in linen closets. The suit expands with a large walk-in-closet and spacious bathroom with sea views.
At Pool level of the house are two guest bedrooms with bathrooms as well as an utility room, shower room for pool guests and storage space.
The utility room not only consolidates controls for the house’s several technical functions (underfloor heating, water softening equipment, electrical circuits, etc.), it also contains a large capacity washer and dryer, and ironing space. The room’s bathroom is conveniently located by the pool and the lower terrace.
The villa’s main entrance is through a wide stone-paved driveway, which ends in a detached 2-car covered parking space. From there on, formal entry to the house can be made through the front door. Alternatively, entry through the kitchen provides a more casual access.
The driveway and the wide entrance by the main gate provide an additional 10-car parking space for guests.

Pool and Gazebo
During the renovation of the main house, cladding of the pool, which measures 9.30 mt by 4.00 mt, was replaced, and several pool equipment were renewed for the purpose of increasing efficiency and minimizing the use of chemicals. The pool can be enjoyed in a very private setting due to thick greenery surrounding it.
The stone gazebo with a fireplace provides a great pool-side abode for relaxing and entertainment in the evenings, while offering a breezy refuge during hot summer days. The fireplace becomes the main attraction during winter months where family and friends gather around a warm fire.
The pool-side patio of more than 200 sqm with spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and surroundings is perfect for partying during long summer nights.
A 15-sqm storage shed behind the gazebo offers a practical space to store chez-lounges, sun beds, cushions and tables in a safe and dry area throughout winter months.

Cottage/Studio
This is a one-bedroom self-sufficient unit with its own bath and kitchen offering 47 sqm of living space. The cottage, which has a North Western aspect, has breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea, and the volcanic rocks and catacombs in the valley.
This building is designed for year-round living, with plumbing and wiring ready for fitting an air conditioner and electric water heater.
Sheltered under a 250-year-old mastic tree and surrounded by a tangerine orchard and olive trees, the cottage would provide an ideal setting to run yoga/meditation sessions and wellness programs for the entrepreneur at heart.

Gardener’s Shed/Workshop
This small unit nestled behind trees is being used primarily to store equipment for house and yard maintenance, in addition to providing a resting area for maintenance staff. Including its own shower and toilet, it has a net usable area of 17 sqm.
Since there is three-phase electricity on the site, this building may also serve as a workshop for an artistic-minded. It can accommodate heavy load equipment in demand for Do-It-Yourself or hobby pursuits, such as metal and wood working, welding, sculpting, etc.

Grounds and Garden
The grounds boast a wide variety of fruit trees, including:
Orange, Tangerine, Lemon, Grapefruit, Kumquat, Avocado, Prune, Olive, Almond, Carob, Apricot, Pomegranate, Loquat, Silverberry, Quince, Grapes, and various culinary and medicinal herbs.
