You Dream It, We Build It

Location is everything. Turkish Mediterranean and Aegean coasts are still relatively virgin compared to other Mediterranean countries, therefore there are still plenty of options available in terms of land plots in idyllic locations, where one can be very creative with design and architecture. Stamp your own personality at a perfect spot that ticks all the boxes.

Premiums for resale homes have also become extremely high in these areas due to scarcity of supply at the ' Exclusive ' end of the real estate market. This provides a strong argument for building your own little masterpiece tailored to your lifestyle.

Relatively lower cost of land and construction also makes custom design and build highly attainable. That said land prices are increasing sharply in certain parts of Turkey so these opportunities may not be around for long in sought after areas such as Bodrum, Kalkan and Kas. If we compare cost of construction per square metre, there is certainly a distinct cost saving in Turkey for figures are less than half compared to Spain, Italy and France. So in addition to lifestyle designing and building is a sound investment strategy.

Based on the area of the land plot, we will propose several designs in the form of architectural drawings and 3D images. However, you are the ultimate decision- maker. This is your dream home after all and this is when we begin shaping that dream in reality.

Build the House

With the license at hand we can start the construction process. The majority of Turkish resort towns, on the Aegean and Mediterranean, construction season runs from the end of October through Mid-May. This is a build phase just short of 7 months.

Nick Jeffery's Story

Nick came to us after discovering the bay of Fethiye and it's hidden treasure, Sölvage İsland, whilst on a paragliding holiday. Busy from the daily grind as CEO of Vodafone, Nick came looking to us for a little slice of solitude for him and his family; Fethiye provided just that. We teamed up with Beyaz Homes, in Fethiye, to build Nick his Aegean Oasis including a tiered Infinity pool, garden, and boat access dock along with all off the luxury finishes we've come to know as standard on the inside.

The resulting build was a stunning sea villa that overdelivered, even a CEO's, expectations. The ease of process and trustworthy reliability of Designer Turkey allowed Nick and his family to leave their worries behind and soak up their new community. Just a short ferry ride into town, from one of Sölvage's three brothers, or a jaunt on Nick's personal boat, the main town has all off life's necessities mere minutes away. And when the sun begins to duck behind the horizon, the Jefferys return to take in their ever changing panoramic views in a stillness even the local dolphins can't help but lose themselves in.

Designer Turkey is very honored to have been a part of such a memorable project. More than able to stack up against their Mediterranean counterparts, Turkey offers a fulfilling Mediterranean lifestyle, from the comfort of a custom built dream home right on the coast, without all of the unwanted hustle and bustle of mainstream tourist traps. Take it from us and our decades of experience, that's a recipe that is truly too delicious to turn down.
