The Oceanic Bayview villas are now on sale for a cool £1million. Located in Alkent, a desirable neighbourhood on the outskirts of bustling Istanbul, these villas utilise some rather flash technology to help keep them eco-friendly.

The villas are super-efficient. Each property:

  • Recycles rainwater from the concave roofs
  • Uses three solar collectors and wind turbines to generate power (saving between 30-60% on annual electricity consumption)
  • Include special profile panoramic windows
  • Uses a heat pump
  • Has LED lighting throughout
  • The smart house system throughout each villa means everything can be controlled through your smartphone to help save power

Built across three floors, the villas range in size from four to seven bedrooms.  Each boasts four bathrooms, a dining room, internal suspended balcony overlooking the grand living room, kitchen, winter garden, a main games/cinema room, Jacuzzi room, and quarters for domestic staff (naturally!). The gallery style of each villa creates an immense sense of light and space as the beautifully-designed mezzanine over the main lounge overlooks the lake through large panoramic windows.

We think you really have to love holidaying in Turkey to justify the cost as a holiday home, but we are told that owners can use it as they wish (and we’re sure that if you’re spending more than a million on a holiday villa you’ve got the time to spend more than just two weeks a year there!). We can picture ourselves sipping a mint tea from our jacuzzi right now…

Oceanic Bayview Villas are on sale with prices starting at just over £1m (US $1,595,000). Visit Universal21 at www.universal21.com or call 0203 287 8700.
