Altinkum Beach Villas are the height of luxury, providing spacious accommodation and probably the best located beachfront villas along the Didim coastline - just a couple of minutes drive from Didim's international marina and just 100 metres (a one minute walk) to a quiet sandy cove.
All properties are arranged over three floors with 215 square metres of living and terrace space, on plots ranging from 250 to 400 square metres. Each villa has three large double bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, two further bathrooms and a private parking space. There is an option to extend into some of the storage space to create a walk-in dressing room.
All of the villas have stunning sea views, particularly from the spectacular roof-top terrace - just one of the five terraces you can enjoy on each property.
The villas are arranged around two large swimming pools, a bar and café / restaurant area, a kiddies safe play area, mini market style of shop and reception area. There are communal gardens and 24 hour security on site. At the top of the development there are sports courts. To the bottom of the development, directly outside the complex walls, there is a Council-owned bar and tea gardens that overlook Imbat Bay. This ‘park' area has a water slide and 2 small pool areas, as well as bar and kitchens. Entertainment is put on, on occasional summer evenings.
The Altinkum Beach Villas provide all of the vital ingredients for an ideal holiday getaway:
- Next to a lovely beach, with facilities to moor a boat
- Opposite two Greek islands - probably the best views in the area
- A gated resort with 24/7 security and full maintenance services, 365 days of the year
- In front of an area designated for Championship golf courses
- A 2-minute drive from the new $50million marina, which features 1225 berths, a restaurant complex, yacht club and shopping mall plus a heliport.
- Great on-site facilities: two pools, sports courts, shops, restaurant and bar
The villas are not designed just as holiday homes though. The villas are spacious enough for a large family to permanently reside and there are several permanent residents who are lucky enough to live in a ‘little piece of heaven' all year round.
Looking at the wider picture about the investment potential for these properties, the outlook is good. Beach-front property is sought after all over the world. DSP are excited to be able to offer these triplex villas in a stunning location on Turkey's Aegean coast with views across golden sands and azure blue seas to Bodrum Bay and the Greek Islands. There are 100 villas on the development and although many are sold, there is a good selection of villas remaining for sale and all of the villas have great sea views. Currently there is a mix of some Turkish and mainly foreign owners.
Mortgage eligibility and valuations
Several mortgage applications have been processed by Turkish and foreign banks for Altinkum Beach Villas - the majority of which have come in vastly above £150,000 - demonstrating that even cautious financial sector professionals are recognizing that the Altinkum Beach Villas are being sold below market value.
Why buy now?
With the official opening of the Didim marina in August 2009, the presence of the golf course land and of course, the housing prices being at rock bottom currently, it is a superb time to buy. The increased tourism that results from infrastructure such as a new marina and a new golf course (both of which sandwich the villas) then the rental potential of these exclusive villas becomes even more attractive than normal. There is one ABTA bonded UK high street travel agency that offers rental contracts on these properties.
Publicity
Homes and Overseas Magazine (Russian Edition) June 2009 - cited the Altinkum Beach Villas as property no. 5 in the Editor's choice of "Top 10 Property Investments Worldwide for Yachtsmen".
There have been numerous write-ups in the UK Sunday newspapers about the villas complex. Sally Gunnell OBE is a villa owner who holidays at her holiday home and has been quoted in several articles about the villas.
