An outside staircase give access to the large flat roof giving you the opportunity to extend upwards, the present owners have erected a steel framework in preparation for this, alternatively you could convert the entire roof area into a roof top terrace, either way the views are outstanding!!

The large plot is surrounded by a stone wall. There is an assortment of outbuildings and mature trees and shrubs, a driveway provides off road parking. The property backs onto open countryside the view of rolling hills is delightful.
With very little effort this could be transformed into a wonderful Mediterranean garden, there is even enough room for a swimming pool.
The Region
Like most of the areas of North Eastern Cyprus Iskele is set in an area of outstanding
natural beauty. The region offers some of the finest beaches in the whole of Cyprus
and indeed some judge that the golden beaches of the Karpaz peninsular are amongst
the finest in Europe if not the world. The clean clear waters that wash against the
golden sandy beaches attract endangered species of green sea turtles that return
every year to nest, so conservation and protection of the environment is of a high
priority in this region. In addition there is an amazing diversification of wild
life and migratory birds making your time spent here a truly unique experience. It
is a peaceful and quiet place where one can bond with nature, imagine spending the
whole day on a wonderful sandy beach swimming in crystal clear waters and even camping
overnight to see the sea turtles come ashore and lay their eggs. And it is highly
likely that you will not see another person for the whole time! Imagine that you
are living within an easy 20-
The Area
The village of Turnalar sits comfortably on a plateau 100 meters above sea level with the hills of Kantara as a perfect backdrop, it comes under the administration of the nearby larger village of Iskele. The village is very small with a collection of houses and farms. The centre has a mini market and the usual church and mosque but the nearby village of Iskele and the larger supermarkets is only a few miles away. The picturesque harbour at Bogaz is just a short drive away and well worth a visit, with a number of good restaurants and bars. The area around Iskele and Bogaz contains a mixture of local Cypriots, British born Cypriots and expatriates. Tunalar is just a 35 minute drive to Ercan airport and only 25 minutes from Famagusta. Close by is Iskele beach, a long stretch of sandy beach within a 10 minute drive. Bogaz Harbour is less than ten minutes away and then you have the whole of the Karpaz peninsula to explore, pretty much at your doorstep. There are a number of good restaurants in the area including those at Bogaz Harbour.
