Villa Margaret – seafront luxury villa in Esentepe

A truly impressive and well-kept luxury villa with a swimming pool and a beautiful garden, in a spectacular seafront location in Esentepe. Building this close to the shoreline is no longer permitted. The house has full sea views to the front and side, and beautiful mountains behind. It lies in a well-tended area of eight luxury villas, six British-owned and two owned by Cypriots. Between this villa and the neighbouring one is a state-owned plot that cannot be built on, which the British owners have had planted with palms and more. Lovely seaside walks along the old coast road start at the house, and there are great bike rides up into the mountains behind Esentepe.

The villa sits by the sea at the turn-off up to Esentepe village, where you will find restaurants, a bank, a butcher and more. On the main road there is a new petrol station, a supermarket, a pharmacy and a local restaurant. Korineum Golf Club (18 holes) with its beach club is a five-minute drive away, and just beyond are the beautiful Alagadi beaches with their three bays. There are many good restaurants a short drive both east and west. Esentepe is a central and attractive base for trips to all the towns, beaches and sights of Northern Cyprus.

The villa is on a quiet private road with large neighbouring villas and attractive planting. The entire 1,050 m² plot is neatly fenced with automatic gates. There is a double garage and parking both on the street and within the plot. The mature garden is beautifully landscaped with a wide variety of plants, has an irrigation system and no less than 110 m² of marble terraces. The swimming pool measures 10 x 5 metres. The title deed is clear, and the villa, built for the current British owners and completed in 2006, is very well maintained. The house has a 20-tonne water tank.

The 300 m² villa has four large bedrooms with plenty of wardrobe space and four bathrooms, with a high standard throughout, marble floors everywhere and solid wooden doors. The kitchen has granite worktops. The ground floor has a kitchen with utility room, a large bedroom and bathroom, a large living room with marble fireplace, a dining room and a hall. The first floor has three large bedrooms and three bathrooms, with access to a large terrace. The master bedroom is a generous 37 m². Every room has a sea or mountain view.

Most of the furniture, except family heirlooms, together with white goods, kitchen equipment, curtains and fine lamps (much of it crystal), is included in the price. The furnishings are classic and of high quality.

The house is built to a very high standard and insulated for year-round use with double glazing. All windows and most terrace doors are fitted with mosquito screens. There is combined gas central heating and electric air conditioning/heating, radiators in most rooms, an automatic generator and an alarm. The house has been used as a permanent home but works equally well as a holiday home – there is no residency requirement.
