It is intended to provide background information about the property and to help assess general interest and indicative market views.

Explore the property details, key facts, FAQ, and opportunities for investors and foreign buyers, as well as the high resolution photographs of this private villa estate set on a highly valued 1810m² plot just 100m from the famous Caddebostan promenade on Istanbul’s Anatolian side.
Information About the Property
The estate feels immediately set apart from its urban surroundings offering a rare combination of privacy, greenery, land ownership, and coastal proximity. Mature landscaping, a lush garden, an outdoor swimming pool, a children’s playground, and outdoor sitting areas create the atmosphere of a secluded family compound. At the same time, the surrounding neighborhood provides all the advantages of Caddebostan: the seafront, cafés, parks, schools, shopping at Bagdat Street, restaurants, and excellent access across the Anatolian side.
The residence itself is substantial, with approximately 1080m² gross interior area and around 960m² of net living space. At its heart is an outstanding 250m² main living room: a grand reception space with a fireplace, suitable for formal entertaining, large family gatherings, and a lifestyle rarely possible in central Istanbul. This is complemented by three additional living rooms, offering multiple private and social areas throughout the home. The generous arrangement allows for flexible use by a large family or a multi-generational household.
The current layout includes an impressive entrance, a winding marble staircase, six large bedrooms, three bathrooms, three kitchens, and four dining areas, together with additional utility and storage rooms, all with 3-metre-high ceilings. While the photographs show the house in its current state, the furniture will be removed before handover, allowing the future owner to renovate and customize the residence as desired. Upon request, the current owners may be willing to leave selected silk Hereke carpets, crystal chandeliers, or antique furniture.
An owner who wishes to combine daily comfort with formal hosting can make use of multiple zones for leisure and entertaining. Two 50m² balconies can accomodate guests for cocktail parties, while the basement-level terraces are ideal for garden parties and casual weekend grilling. A separate staff/service apartment at the far end of the garden provides further practicality, including one bedroom, one living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. This independent living area allows household support to be accommodated discreetly and comfortably.
Security and operational independence have been carefully considered, including an arrangement with a private security company. The property is enclosed by steel fencing and accessed through a remotely operated heavy gate. It is equipped with its own water tank, generator, water pumps, water well for garden use, emergency shelter, and central heating system, supporting reliable and comfortable living throughout the year. It is just 150m away from the starting station of the new M12 metro line (to be completed end of 2026) providing fast access to the whole city.
Indeed, the estate’s location adds the most significant layer of value. It sits next to a leading private high school and benefits from direct access to one of the main roads of the Anatolian side, while remaining within walking distance of the Caddebostan coast and the famous Bagdat Street. This combination of quiet privacy, educational proximity, seafront lifestyle, and transport convenience is difficult to replicate. In short, it is a classic private residence at the heart of the city, ready to be customized to the next owner’s preferences.
There is also meaningful development potential. The existing permit allows the currently unbuilt attic to be converted into a top duplex with full sea views. As explained further below, an investor or future owner has a rare opportunity to expand an already significant residence in one of Istanbul’s most land-constrained and desirable districts. In an area defined largely by apartment living and high land values, the property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a true private villa environment on a major urban coastal corridor.
This is not simply a large house. It is a private urban estate in a location where land of this size is exceptionally scarce. With its garden, pool, scale, security, coastal proximity, and future expansion potential, the property offers a distinctive opportunity for a buyer seeking a landmark residence or long-term investment on Istanbul’s Anatolian side.

Opportunities
Opportunities for Investors
The estate is currently used as a private single-family villa on a substantial landscaped plot. While the garden is understood to be subject to conservation-related restrictions, the main building itself is not understood to be a protected or historical building. This may give a future owner or investor a range of options, subject to legal, zoning, conservation-board, municipal, and permitting requirements.
Based on the existing permit information available to the owners, the property may be rebuilt for apartment-style residential use with a total gross area of approximately 1410m² (1580m² including a sub-basement). In addition, qualified developers may explore whether the status of the garden could be changed in order to permit a second block of approximately 920m². Any such process would require the relevant official approvals, may take several years, and is not presented as the owners’ preferred option, as it could significantly affect the existing mature garden that gives the estate much of its current character.
Opportunities for Foreigners
Turkey may offer significant advantages for qualifying foreign buyers and individuals who become tax resident in Turkey. Prospective buyers should obtain independent legal and tax advice before relying on any citizenship, tax, inheritance, or property-related benefit, as these depend on the buyer’s personal circumstances.
- Potential Turkish citizenship eligibility, if legal requirements are met, incl. the required holding period.
- Possible 20-year Turkish income tax exemption on foreign-source income, subject to the conditions of the applicable legislation.
- Qualifying individuals benefiting from the relevant foreign-income exemption regime may also benefit from a reduced inheritance tax rate (1%) during the exemption period, subject to applicable law.
- The property currently benefits from a reduced property-tax basis (10%) connected to the status of the land, which may also be relevant for Turkish buyers.
