Olive Tree Villa - £89,000
Olive Tree Villa is a recently built (2005) detached luxury villa in a quiet country setting a world away from touristy hotspots. It is located in a small and friendly elevated development overlooking the beautiful Xanthos valley within 40 minutes of Fethiye, Oludeniz, Kalkan & Patara. It in the middle of a agricultural community with little tourism or development but 5 minutes drive from a busy village and main road. Nearby are the remains of the ancient city of Tlos and the national park at Saklikent Gorge. It is 75 mins drive from the upgraded international airport at Dalaman served by a range of low cost airlines, including Easyjet.

Olive Tree villa has a lounge dining and kitchen area, 3 bedrooms, an en-suite and a shared bathroom and a downstairs WC. It also has numerous outside balconies and verandas and its own private swimming pool. It is light, airy and spacious, fully furnished to a high specification and comfortably sleeps 6 - 8 people. Located in the quiet of the countryside but close to local shops and restaurants, it has stunning views across the valley to the mountains beyond

The price includes the villa in its garden with private pool and all curtains, furniture, fixtures and fittings making it immediately ready to move in or rent out. Proof of ownership and planning is of course available. To help those who want to rent out the villa this web site and domain name will be made available to the purchasers and a choice of management agents are available.

The Property
The villa is built of modern concrete frame and block construction with rendered walls and a tiled roof. Windows are double glazed and air conditioning is fitted. Downstairs the floors are tiled and upstairs there are wooden floors. The bathrooms and WC are fully tiled in modern neutral colours.

Downstairs there is a large open plan Living, Dining and Kitchen area and a separate hallway giving access to the stairs and downstairs cloakroom. The lounge area has separate access from the hallway and could be divided off, for example to make a separate (4th) bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with cooker, hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is also utility and storage room under the stairs where the plumbed in washing machine is located.

Upstairs there is a master double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and 2 further bedrooms with twin beds sharing a second upstairs bathroom. Both bathrooms are fully tiled with toilet, washbasin and baths with shower over. All three bedrooms have private balconies. Air-conditioning, which also provides heating for cooler days, is provided in the living area and the 3 bedrooms. Both solar panels and electric water heaters are provided and there is an open fireplace in the lounge. Full length curtains keep the property cool in summer and provide privacy

The rooms are light and spacious. The approximate room sizes in metres are :

Kitchen   3 x 3.7 (excl bay)
Master Bedroom   4.2 x 2.85 (excl bay)
Bedroom 2   3.45 x 3.75 (excl bay)
Bedroom 3   3.25 x 3.35

The Garden
Olive Tree Villa is built on a plot approx 12m x 29m (approx 350 sqm) which contains the villa and the substantial private swimming pool. The pool is 8m long by 4.5m wide tapering to 3.2m and 1.4m deep. It is illuminated at night with coloured lights on a timer.

The garden is planted with a range of plants including bamboo, oleander, bougainvillea and plumbago. A lovely old olive tree provides a central attraction and provides shade over the pool in the late afternoon, very useful in mid summer. A pergola covered in vines and screened by bamboo provides a shady oasis away from the villa with further views across the valley.

In the corner of the garden is a small and attractive lockable concrete storage hut for storing sun loungers and pool toys. This could double as a play house for children.

Management
We have an excellent local management agent who can be employed to look after the property and the garden, pay the local bills and manage maintenance, cleaning, gardening and repairs. If desired they are have full facilities to handle rental customers : picking them up from the airport in air conditioned transport, arranging hire cars (delivered to the villas if you want), day trips, villa cleaning, and providing a customer help line. This removes the normal day to day hassles of owning a holiday home and enables the villa to provide a source of rental income.

The Setting
The setting is breathtaking, looking across rolling countryside of the Xanthos valley to the mountains beyond. The villa is located in a small terraced development which is quiet but friendly and sociable. We have had great fun during our holidays there. Beside and behind the development are pine forests and mountain views. There is plenty of parking.

Nearby
Nearby the nearest village is Kadikoy, a five minute drive away, where there are a range of shops. Local produce and basic provisions can be found here; the shopkeepers are friendly and eager to meet the demands of tourists and will deliver provisions to your villa by arrangement. There is a weekly local market. The freshly baked bread and fresh fruit are our favourites. Just outside this village are a range of simple local restaurants. You can eat out in these for typically £6-£8 per head (2009 prices). By the roadside you can also buy fresh fruit at amazingly low prices. Whilst tourists are very welcome and the locals very friendly, the area is unspoilt by development and the economy is based on agriculture so there is always the chance of meeting a flock of goats on the road !  If you want noisy all-night bars or English breakfasts this is not the place to come to.

Within 20 minutes drive is the town of Kemer, which is starting to cater for those who have property in the area and has a range of restaurants, shops and a bank with cash machine.

As the villa is in the foothills of a range of mountains they are well placed for walkers and birdwatchers. The Lycian way, starting at OluDeniz, passes nearby. The nearby Roman settlement at Tlos can be seen from the villas and there are also impressive Roman remains at Xanthos and Patara. Turkey is steeped in history and there is always something else to see. To the west are the pretty harbour town of Fethiye, the resort beach of Calis and the famous beach and lagoon at OluDeniz. Near OluDeniz is the bar and clubbing hotspot at Hisaronu. In the old town in Fethiye there is a colourful and vibrant shopping area and a wide choice of restaurants. There are also large modern supermarkets and lots of specialist shops. The extensive weekly market is every Tuesday. All these are approx 40mins drive away from the Viila.

To the south is one of the best beaches in the world - Patara and the seaside town of Kalkan which also has a good choice of shops.

Access
Downstairs the villa has doors to a main veranda which is enclosed by railings which have gated access to the pool. This area provide a safe enclosed place for small children to play outside. Emergency lights, smoke alarm, fire extinguisher and pool safety signs are provided, these are important if you are thinking about renting the villa out in the future.

The Villa is accessible by car and there is plenty of parking on the site. However access to the villa garden is via a few steps which unfortunately makes it unsuitable for those in wheelchairs
