Vineyard Cottage in Bodrum, Private pool - Details

This old beautifully renovated, village house, located above and “in” the vineyard is constructed of traditional stone, 50 cm (20 inch) thick walls and originally built mid-20th century. It is located in the hills above the village of Upper Gokcobel ; previously a Greek village called "Dirmil", and translated as 1 mile to the sea. It is 5 minutes from Yalikavak and less than 20 minutes to Bodrum city.

This cottage is an unusual situation as it is landlocked. Guests must drive to my house 120 meters or yards above, park and then walk down the path, through the olive and fig trees, to the cottage. My man Friday will help with baggage and help you with your food shopping and all sorts of things like this. The cottage is on a 3000-meter plot of land and surrounded by nature, birds, eagles, cows, fields, etc. There is a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea and the antique hills nearby where once a Carian Castle stood 3000 years ago. The hills in full view, are filled with ancient Roman catacombs which you can explore.

Inside the house there is a Living Room which doubles as the bedroom when you open the sofa couch. The bed is a large double size. There is a TV and Stereo. The room is decorated with antiques. The kitchenette is small but adequate. There is a 3 burner gas stove and a fridge and most kitchen equipment you might need.

Hot water is fed to the kitchen as well as the bathroom. There is a PBX telephone where you can make local calls or internal calls to our house or to Mehmet when you need him.

The pool is actually the original water depot , supplied by the well, for the mandarin garden that was once there. The depot was renovated and made into an immersion pool, fed by well water flowing from an old amphora. There is ample sun bathing space next to the pool.

In 2002 we planted 550 grape vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz , Muscat , Merlot and Barbera. If you come in the season, the vineyard, in all its glory, is exceptionally pleasing.

This is a house to use as a base for exploring the area around Bodrum or for simply relaxing. If you need to get away from it all.................you have found your dream.

We also have other very unique properties including a Village House, a Farm House and a very high quality large stone house called the Yaghane. All have private pools and all have car parking spaces next to the houses. Please inquire.
