LaVanta: Oceanwide Properties Announces Just Seven Units Remain In Landmark Turkish Riviera Residence
Posted in Co Ski Resorts on Sep 1st, 2012 | 0 comments
(PRWEB UK) 29 August 2012
Just seven final units remain at the exclusive LaVanta Residence, Kalkan on Turkeys Mediterranean Turquoise Coast. Development marketers, Oceanwide Properties, specialists in Turkey property for sale, are calling on overseas home-hunters to waste no time in registering their interest to benefit from the final price discounts now available.
The final two two-bedroom apartments and townhouse and four three-bedroom villas are now being offered with an enticing price drop which means buyers need to move fast to snap up a property bargain in a prime sought after spot on Turkeys sparkling Riviera.
Competitive to the contracting property markets of Europe, Turkish property is a highly lucrative investment opportunity right now. Demonstrating home value growth of up to 16 per cent in some areas and 12 per cent nationally this year alone (Source: REIDIN), predictions are new legislation which permits Russian and Gulf nationals to now buy in Turkey, will also bring in an investment bonanza of over ?12 billion in the next two years, something which landlords and investors are advised to consider now for advantages in the longer-term.
We’re delighted to see the success of the LaVanta residences in Kalkan. With only seven of the 49 completed properties now remaining, we are encouraging buyers to arrange an inspection visit or register their interest quickly via our website, http://www.oceanwideproperties.co.uk, to benefit from the incredible price reductions now released, says Suleyman Akbay, Oceanwide Properties Managing Director.
Properties on the Kalkan Peninsula have long held a lifestyle draw, though often with a luxury price tag with properties on the sea-front fetching up to ?1.3 million. Perched on a hill-top 400m above the Mediterranean Coast overlooking a crystal blue bay in Kalkan, LaVanta has the Riviera lifestyle allure, but also offers a solid buy-to-let or pension pot investment too and now at an impressively accessible price.
Early buyers in the development have seen their property values almost double since purchasing, and many choose to benefit from the established lettings market, fetching between ?1,300 per week high season (spanning 20 weeks of the year) and ?950 low season.
The last two-bedroom apartments feature large open-plan living and kitchen areas leading out to an adjoining garden and sun terrace. The properties also include stylish ceramic tiled bathrooms and separate washroom, and are available with the option of a plunge pool or jacuzzi. Up to ?23,000 reduction issued, with new guide price from ?105,000.
A double height ceiling with mezzanine gallery leading to two double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and family bathroom brings a light and airy feel to LaVantas last remaining two-bedroom townhouse. The living and kitchen area is open-plan and leads onto a large garden terrace, with space for an optional plunge pool or jacuzzi. Now offered with a guide price of ?105,000, reduced by ?24,000.
The final three-bedroom villas offer open-plan living areas with fitted kitchen, three well-sized bedrooms, master with en-suite. The villas all benefit from beautiful marble and ceramic flooring, balconies to all bedrooms and a veranda to the full width of the living room. Up to ?42,000 reduction available, with guide price now starting at ?154,000.
The LaVanta Residences have proved popular thanks to the outstanding quality of homes and stunning location accessible via the nearby new marina and international airport at Dalaman, adds Suleyman. At these impressive prices for the area, Id advise anyone interested to contact us now to avoid missing out.
Hemmed by forested mountains, and like an amphitheatre onto the sea, the small fishing port of Kalkan offers a quaint harbour, fine restaurants, award winning beaches and a nearby new marina with moorings for 500 boats and super-yachts. About 60 minutes drive takes you to a small ski resort and 90 minutes to Dalaman International Airport which has year round flights to the UK.
