If you are seeking a retreat getaway property, then you need to stop searching, now! This property ticks every box you have on your list; large pool: check! Beautiful gardens plus paving: check! Rooftop terrace with mountain views: check! Privacy from the world: double check! Central heating, en-suite, walk-in closet, yes please! The sheer amount of outdoor space is ridiculous and yet still privately located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the beautiful village of Lapta only few minutes from the hotel strip, beaches and city center. The house itself is centrally heated in all rooms, including the three double bedrooms with shutters and air-conditioning; the kitchen is a magnificent U-shaped haven with fitted goods (oven hob, extractor fan, washing machine, and fridge-freezer) and French windows to the covered terrace and gardens: a large landscaped wonderland with a swimming pool to dip in. By the side is a pergola to cool off under or have dinner and listen to the night sounds. Incredibly still. There is no VAT to pay on this property as the deeds are in the owners name!

Resale and Rental Opportunity
This gorgeous 3 bedroom bungalow in its super private and shaded location has all the making of a deluxe holiday home, a retirement home or a starter home. You can either turn this into an all-year holiday home, as North Cyprus receives year-round tourism from British to Russian, Arab, Estonian and East African holidaymakers, who could pay upwards of an estimated £600 per week on rental or you could simply buy this property and rent out to local residents at an estimated £500 monthly. But whatever decision you take the property will only appreciate with time as development increases in the city, many buyers would look to escape the hustle of city living and retreat to more secluded locations while still having a foot in town.
The Village
Lapta; just 10 kilometres from Kyrenia is considered to be a tourist hotspot. With excellent hotels and general accommodation it offers the holiday maker a good base in North Cyprus. The town of Lapta is divided into two sections, the Lapta strip with a wide selection of hotels, bars and restaurants, then you have the Old Town, a historical, interesting and lively part of Northern Cyprus. The picturesque sprawling village covers a number of mountain terraces overlooking the sea and its narrow winding streets are dotted with a number of pretty white washed churches. The village itself dates from the 13th century and is home to one of the islands most handsome ottoman mosques.
