Spacious and beautifully-located villa presents an ideal holiday home in Turkey

This estate, tucked in a village in the foothills of the Taurus mountains, enjoys proximity to Kalkan Bay – and that stunning sea view – as well as a slightly cooler temperature than down on the coast, making this the ideal Turkish luxury paradise.

Six bedrooms fill the main house, while two additional buildings can be turned into additional accommodation

This estate offers 28,000 sq m of living space on 5,000 sq m of land, with a main house providing a luxurious six-bed dwelling and accompanied by two further buildings, both with accommodation.

The interior design of this impressive villa instills calm and peace

The main house has only recently been finished and provides a calming yet opulent sanctuary within these Turkish mountains. An open-plan kitchen and dining area is sure to become the hub of activity, with patio doors ensuring the glorious gardens are easily accessible for al-fresco meals.

The stylish kitchen is finished to a high specification and flows into multiple seating areas, with access out to the terrace

The grand, high-ceiling lounge area is another space that will dazzle guests, with semi-circular windows filling the space with light and inviting the eye out to the impressive, far-reaching land and the sparkling sea beyond.

The combination of an eye-catching, high ceiling and a semi-circular array of windows make this living area a delight to relax within

Bedrooms are just as large and elegant, emphasising the landscape through large, well-placed windows and ensuring each occupant has their own private slice of luxury within the villa.

Bedrooms are vast, providing ample space for seating and dressing areas

When privacy is exhausted, you may find the householders are drawn to the generously-sized swimming pool – complete with retractable windows for year-round dips – for entertainment or exercise.

The covered swimming pool has retractable windows, allowing for swimming year-round

The house is surrounded by terraces ideal for eating and lounging outside when the weather permits. These are ideal spots to soak up the dreamy views of the bay and enjoy the sense of space that such a large plot provides.

The views from the terraces and the grounds are simply spectacular

In addition to the main house, Stone House is a self-contained unit, complete with bedrooms and living spaces. It also has its own private terrace and garden area. Finally, the Homestead Farm house has accommodation options as well as stables. There is ample parking on the estate for the many occupants if the property were to be full (of all your friends!).

Greenhouses are cultivating salads and vegetables, while orchards and vineyards produce the associated goodies year round

The land of the estate is healthy and well-cultivated; there are green houses currently producing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, lettuce and onions, as well as an orchard with plums, peaches, apricots and olives growing. To complete the Turkish dream package, there is also a vineyard.

This estate could be just the escape you need in this Turkish beauty spot

Despite the winning sense of isolation, the villa is within the historic, vibrant village of Islamlar and just 15 mins drive from Kalkan Bay. For travelling further afield, the property is located 195km from Antalya where there is an international airport.

On 13 October 2023

In Contemporary, Europe, island, Italy, luxury, Nature, seaview

Nestled in the Miata hills, this villa is a peaceful haven with spectacular sea views

In the rolling hills of Miata, on Italy’s island gem of Sardinia, is a spectacular villa surrounded by greenery, which overlooks the shimmering azure ocean. From the glorious pool, the new owner and plenty of guests can laze under the Italian sun and admire the views that sparkle, no matter the season.

The large swimming pool is just one of the glories of this exceptional villa

The interior of the main building is open plan, with full-sized windows and patio doors to let all the space wash with Sardinian light. The sitting, dining and cooking areas flow together logically and the space contains eye-catching design flourishes that will impress all those who move through it.

Multiple sitting and dining areas are spread across the vast open-plan living space

The luxurious kitchen has direct access to an outdoor cooking area with a barbeque, but inside the chef will find all the equipment and fittings needed, included a wood-fired oven built by master bakers in addition to more modern ovens and hobs, with a cellar for storing the wine.

With windows on all sides, these living spaces feel more outside than inside when the sun is up

That said, you’ll find it hard to not want to take your meals outside at one of the various seating areas around the swimming pool. There are a number of these, both shaded and uncovered, to suit the temperatures and your sun tolerance. The view will always be magnificent.

Outdoor seating areas are spread around the patio areas for seated enjoyment of the setting

In terms of sleeping quarters, the palatial master suite is accessed straight off the lounge and provides plenty of space for seating and dressing areas. There is a gloriously-designed en-suite bathroom attached and the windows deliver that same magnificent view. It’s worth getting out of bed for..

There are a further five bedrooms spread across the main house, all of which could earn the title of ‘suite’ courtesy of their space and the contemporary bathrooms that accompany them. They all have direct access to an outside terrace and provide comfortable privacy in what could be a busy house.

Well-appointed bathrooms – one per bedroom – contain the latest mod cons and conveniences

In addition to the main villa, this estate also has a separate building named La Torre, which has been renovated into a guest house. Within this striking structure (it has been completed renovated for luxury living with some historic touches) can be found the final two bedrooms with their respective bathrooms. Could this be let out? Or you may prefer to offer your guests the complete privacy of their own house when they come to stay – and they will come!

The luxurious guest bedrooms in La Torre have beautiful bathrooms to match

Back in the main building, drop down to the lower ground to find a modern gym and a library large enough to contain a sizeable meeting table. This latter space could easily be turned to different uses, depending on the owners’ interests.

The private park that surrounds the villa has been thoughtfully planted

The villa sits within a 6,300 sq m private park that is dotted with carefully selected plants to ensure the park thrives in this part of the island, considering the climate. The villa’s positioning in the hills ensures the sea views are impressive from every corner of the house and grounds, and it manages to combine a sense of solitude with proximity to the necessary amenities to make this the ideal place to make more than just a holiday home.

When you can bear to leave, the bustle of charming Porto Cervo will offer some compensation (plus you can always come back!)

The villa is in Porto Cervo, one of Sardinia’s northern seaside resorts that has established itself as an exclusive location for the wealthiest Italian holidaymakers. There are luxury spas, world-class restaurants, designer boutiques as well as bars and cafes within easy reach of the house.

The closest airport is Olbia, around 32 km away, and the villa is well-positioned for taking visitors to see some key tourist sites. It’s 3 km from the nuragic complex of Albucciu, 6 km from the tomb of the giants of Li Lolghi, and 9 km from the Cannigione beach.

Sumptuous Mallorcan cortijo (Spain), €24,950,000

On 9 October 2023

In Contemporary, Europe, island, Large grounds, luxury, Nature, seaview, Spain

Just five minutes outside the Mallorcan town of Andratx is the stunning port of the same name, reputed as one of the loveliest harbours in the Mediterranen. Sitting pretty on the hill above the harbour – boasting the twin wins of sea and mountain panoramas – is a stunning and exquisitely designed villa on a plot of 100,000 sq m.

A cortijo is a traditional rural dwelling, like a farmhouse – but don’t expect rustic rough-n-ready at this one

The view may be jaw-dropping, but the villa will draw the eye away from the moment you start up the paved private driveway towards the buildings that make up the property: 1,350 sq m including the main residence, two additional buildings, and a barbecue and pool bar area.

The house has been beautifully designed and built to complement the natural area

The main building is designed to optimise the spectacular views, with the ground floor surging into a large open kitchen and dining area where the household and all guests have plenty of space to socialise.

Sleek, spacious and bright spaces are unexpected but welcome, and the kitchen is no exception

There is also a formal dining area, an expansive lounge and a cosy living room complete with a fire for the cooler months. All reception rooms gain from the well-placed windows, allowing the landscape and the sea view to flood into the property.

Formal dining spaces are available alongside the casual areas around the kitchen

Having so many seating areas and reception rooms is ideal for a busy household, enabling space for different groups and for those seeking some solitude.

The chic elegance of the interiors allows the rooms to feel calming

Climb up the gorgeous staircase to the first floor to find a grand master bedroom suite complete with a walk-in closet. It’s an impressive principle suite and will provide all the space you need for comfortable privacy in luxurious, minimalist conditions.

Bedrooms are large, employing clean lines and minimal fuss to create comfortable spaces

The bathrooms that are attached to the bedrooms (there are two on this floor) are almost as vast as the sleeping rooms themselves, finished with high-quality his-n-hers facilities to suite the various occupants and visitors.

Bathrooms are large and completely kitted out with every washing option you can think of

This floor also has a terrace for morning sights of the sea, although occupants may find themselves spending time on the main terrace on the ground floor that wraps around the villa and the pool area.

An outside kitchen, BBQ and eating area, alongside shaded terraces and seating, will make al-fresco life the norm

There are shaded lounging areas, large tables and outdoor cooking facilities that are ideally designed for entertaining and spending long afternoons and evenings outside.

If you like your laps, this pool is a perfect size and shape

The pool is spectacular and surrounded by loungers and seats, with constant sight of the incredible views across the sea to the mountains beyond. When its get a little chilly for being outside, take the stairs down the basement to discover an additional treat..

And feeling the winter chill? Fear not, the indoor pool is just as impressive

The basement is dominated by another spectacular pool. This indoor heated pool is accompanied by a dry sauna and steam room, along with a gym, for the complete home-spa experience.

The home sauna could become the place you restore in after a busy day of work

There is a bathroom down on this level for washing away the sweat as well as space to install a home cinema if the new owner wishes.

Serious outdoor cooking facilities are provided to make al-fresco meals sophisticated

The additional buildings provide yet further amenities for the owner. There is enough garage space for 20 cars (time to start a new collection?) and two additional, separate guest houses.

Separate houses with their own living and sleeping space provides options for the new owner

One of these separate houses has been renovated to contain two en-suite bedrooms and an open kitchen-dining-living space. The second house has a slightly bigger space and could accommodate a further 2-3 bedrooms if desired (it’s currently being used for storage).

No matter the room, the view is all-consuming, as it should be in this incredible location

Immediately outside of the villa it’s all about the vast pool and terrace area, but beyond the terraces are the extensive grounds that contain a small forest, landscaped gardens and a lake.

Beyond the pool and terraces, the land contains a lake, a small forest and landscaped gardens

It’s worth noting that the estate has a helicopter landing license and space for a grass tennis court if the new owner is keen. In terms of amenities, the Harbour area boasts everything needed, from supermarkets and cafes, to bars and upmarket restaurants. There are also modern art galleries, with the airport just 28 mins away.

Aston Martin Residences Miami penthouse (US), $50,000,000

On 11 July 2023

In Contemporary, High rise, luxury, seaview, USA

Moor your private yacht outside the Aston Martin Residences

Not all that many apartments come with a free Aston Martin but hey, this is Miami. And did we mention that it’s a penthouse in the extraordinary Aston Martin Residences, slap-bang on the waterfront in downtown Miami? You’ll be torn between driving your new Aston Martin (yes, this property really does come with the car) and a yacht, the latter moored right outside.. Yachts aren’t included in the price though.

The interior space is majestic courtesy of ample windows and incredible views

Set over three levels and covering almost 20,000 sq ft, this luxury penthouse provides all the comfort, space and unreal viewing points that one would hope for in this exclusive location. It’s also a pet-friendly building, so feel free to bring your pooch.

Multiple lounging areas will suit families or a range guests

On the ground floor you will find not one but two kitchens, the family lounges and terraces, and a gym and spa for your own private use. The spaces are all finished impeccably and provide a comfortable flow for true contemporary living.

Owners will have a choice of kitchens across three floors

Moving up to your first floor, there are seven beautiful and spacious bedrooms. There is also another terrace and more lounge areas for enjoying that seemingly-endless water and the view of the horizon, which simply can’t be avoided when there are more windows than walls…

Wake up to another perfect Miami day

The top floor is surely the ultimate final piece of the ostentatious puzzle. Up here you’ll find your large private pool area and a vast terrace (complete with 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline) with a sitting area and yet another kitchen.

The top floor has a 360-degree terrace and a private pool

Despite being an apartment, the property provides just over 7,000 sq ft of outdoor space. Residents and guests will have no excuses, rain or shine, to miss a spectacular sunset each and every day.

Multiple lounging areas on multiple levels ensure privacy for a large entourage

As and when owners can bear to leave their luxurious private penthouse, the building itself provides many more pleasures. There are over 40,000 sq ft of facilities in the Residences, including a fitness centre and spa, an art gallery, a business centre, a children’s play room, a games room, a cinema, another pool as well as a bar and lounge. Private dining can also be arranged, while there is a full service concierge and 24-hour valet service (no doubt skilled in parking new Aston Martins in the covered garage).

Being right on the waterfront and in the heart of downtown Miami is a real draw

There simply couldn’t be a better location in Miami. The building is right on the waterfront and close to the Brickell Financial District, Central Business District and the Arts & Entertainment District. Some of the best of the city’s beaches are also nearby (South Beach is 18 mins away) and the international airport is just 20 mins drive
