Brangelina’s Turkish mansion sets tongues wagging, prices soaring

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s sumptuous new multi-million dollar Turkish Aegean villa has caused a stir on Turkey’s west coast. Locals are thrilled that the duo - arguably the world’s most famous couple - have moved into the Saklikoy area of Urla, giving the area a tourism boost and raising the profile of local property.Brad and Angelina's Turkish home

The superstars spent US$2.6 million on the luxury Turkish property in late October. The 2500 square metre home has seven bedrooms spread over four storeys, as well as a sports hall and private pool: ample space for the couple and their six children.

The family fell in love with the area while visiting Turkey last year. Local businessman Mehmet Unal told the Anadolu Agency this week that he organised a boat trip for the couple and their children during their visit. 

"They had their children, cooks and staff with them. We took them around Pinarli, Yassi, Cicek and Kasik islands from early morning till the afternoon. They even came to our restaurant with their yacht," he said.

"The couple loved Urla very much, because we have the sea, artichokes, fish and everything here and this place is just 20 kilometers [13 miles] from the airport. [Now that] they saw this, I think they will visit here very often," he added.

According to the chairman of Izmir’s Chamber of Real Estate Agencies, house prices in the area began to climb as soon as the couple’s names were attached to the purchase.

"Earlier, you could find a moderate house far from the coast for a price of 200,000 Turkish lira [around $69,500]. But after the news of celebrities buying houses flew about, the price of the cheapest house has jumped to 250,000 Turkish lira [around $86,900]" he said.

The couple own a number of homes abroad - including a $60 million mansion in the south of France - and are said to be looking for a home in London. Jolie is a frequent visitor to Turkey as part of her UN Goodwill Ambassador role.

Star-stuck in beachy Bodrum 

Turkbuku is THE place in Bodrum to see and be seen. On any given summer day you’ll see one or more of the following Turkish celebrities congregating at one of the area’s beach platform bars: a model, a soap star, an ageing rock star or a pop star. 

This villa sits comfortably in its star-studded surroundings. Flanked by a lush, green garden, the beautiful stone home is particularly well appointed. Designed with comfort in mind, its quality fittings and sense of understated luxury will just blow you away.

Secluded beach getaway


Faralya is so far off the beaten track it’s safe to say you’ve probably never heard of it. The remote village is about a 20 minute drive from Oludeniz Beach, home to the famous Blue Lagoon. It’s a very peaceful, natural area where very little happens - and the locals want to keep it this way, so very few properties have been built here.

This custom-designed home is the ideal escape for anyone wanting to leave the real world behind. Located on a huge 4500 square metre plot, privacy is paramount here. The design is luxurious and the property is kitted out with top quality fittings throughout - including a kitchen to die for.
