Root Redrock Yalıkavak Villa C3

Villa C3 at Root Redrock Villas Yalıkavak, above Tilkicik Bay in Bodrum. Three bedrooms and a living room, three bathrooms, 175 m² gross, a pool of its own, and five minutes from Yalıkavak Marina. Listed at $1,918,000 — the asking figure is €1,650,000.

Root Redrock is six villas rather than a compound: one of two bedrooms, two of three, three of five. Sami Savatlı drew them, and C3 is one of the two three-bedroom houses. It is arranged over three levels and glazed floor to ceiling on the bay side.

The living floor is one room. Marble runs the length of it, the kitchen sits at the far end in oak with a dark stone worktop and its appliances already integrated, and the dining table stands between the two. Sliding walls of glass open the whole side onto a decked terrace with a swing seat, and that terrace is what the house is for: it looks down the bay, past the palms, to the far shore. The bedrooms are laid in oak boards and two of them open straight onto the terrace. The bathrooms are marble, with rainfall showers.

The pool is the villa's own, set into the terrace with an infinity edge on the sea side. What lies below is the part that is shared: a private beach and a jetty on Tilkicik Bay with direct water entry, a beachfront restaurant, an infinity pool, a spa and a gym.

Yalıkavak is the peninsula's marina town. The berths, the restaurants and the boutiques are at one end of that five-minute drive; the older village behind them, with its artists' street and its weekly market, is at the other. At $1,918,000 the purchase sits well above the $400,000 that Turkish citizenship by investment asks for.

The villa is finished, and every photograph here is of C3 rather than of a show house. Tell us the day that suits you and we will arrange the viewing.
