Beykoz Konakları guide 2026: villas and life
Beykoz Konakları is a gated villa estate set inside a wooded grove in Acarlar, a neighbourhood of Beykoz on Istanbul's Asian side. There are no apartment blocks here, only detached villas with gardens. For anyone looking for a large family home in the forest without leaving the city, it is one of the first places to look. In this guide we cover where the estate is, how it came to be built, the villa types, life on the estate, and what to check when you buy a home there.
Where is Beykoz Konakları?
The estate lies in Acarlar, in the district of Beykoz, inside the Saip Molla Paşa Korusu woodland. Right next to it are Acarkent, the neighbourhood's other large villa estate, and Çubuklu Vadi. Through Kavacık you reach the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge quickly, and across the bridge are Levent and Maslak. In other words, the estate is in the forest but not cut off from the business districts.
The Bosphorus shore is close too. Anadolu Hisarı, Kanlıca, Göksu, Çubuklu and Paşabahçe are a short drive away.
A short history
Beykoz Konakları was built by Tepe İnşaat. Construction began in the 1990s, the estate was completed in phases, and it opened in full in 2001. The project spreads across roughly 100 hectares of woodland.
Inside the estate stands a building much older than the villas: the Av Köşkü, or Hunting Lodge, built for Saip Molla Paşa in 1904. The lodge and the stable beside it have been restored and are now part of the estate's shared life.
Villa types
The estate has 401 detached villas in total, each with its own garden. The villas come in three types:
| Type | Indoor area |
|---|---|
| Type A | 406 m² |
| Type B | 484 m² |
| Type C | 576 m² |
Type A is the smallest plan and Type C the largest. You may see different square metre figures in listings, because the garage and the attic floor are not counted the same way in every listing. Garden size depends on where the villa sits on the estate. The villas have no private pools; the pools are in the estate's shared grounds.
Life on the estate
Most people who choose Beykoz Konakları want a life in the forest with everything close at hand. The estate's shared facilities are built for exactly that:
- Pools. Two shared pools, one outdoor and one indoor.
- Sport. Tennis courts and a fitness centre.
- Restaurant and café. In the forest, open to residents.
- Walking paths. Inside the grove, for residents only.
- Security. 24-hour security, with entrances and exits monitored by camera.
The service charge covers maintenance and electricity for the shared areas, security, technical service and use of the social facilities.
Buying a home in Beykoz Konakları
When you buy a villa here, always examine the title deed record. Villas of the same type on the estate hold an equal land share, and which villa corresponds to which independent unit is set out in the estate's management plan. Before the transfer at the land registry, ask for the management plan and the service charge amount. We explain the difference between land share and kat mülkiyeti (full condominium ownership) in our article on kat irtifakı and kat mülkiyeti, and the day of the sale step by step in how a title deed transfer works.
To see the fee due on the purchase in advance, you can use our title deed fee calculator, and for the annual tax once you own the home, our property tax calculator.
