“As rare as hen’s teeth”

This old saying describes something incredibly unusual and unique, as a chicken with teeth most certainly would be. This could easily describe this stunning bungalow built by the owners in 2009 but traditional in design and appearance. The exquisite property stands in walled gardens on 3 levels with citrus, fig and pomegranate orchards, and mature flower bushes. The land is just over 2 donums, approximately 3000 square metres, or about ¾ of an English acre, and is approached via a half-kilometre untarmacked but well maintained road from the village. Although the sensational location offers privacy and seclusion, the bungalow is a 10 minute walk to the amenities of Kaplica village, and a 15 minute walk to the coastal resort including a pharmacy, bank and, fresh fish shop and additional supermarkets. The village has direct access to the superb and scenic coastal road making trips to places like Kyrenia town, the Karpaz yacht marina, the 5-star Bafra resort, the Korineum Golf and Country Club, airports etc, an easy and very pleasant drive away. This beautiful and unique home is offered for sale fully furnished with handmade designed furniture and includes a number of antiques both English and Turkish. A list of contents including these delightful and interesting items can be given at request.  A 4x4 English Landrover vehicle is also included in the sale. If you want a superb home offering privacy yet without total isolation you should contact us without delay. Miss this and you will not find another one quite like it.

It is under de facto control of Northern Cyprus, forming part of its İskele District.

Owing to its location between the mountains, the forests and the sea, its horse shoe bay with clear blue waters and soft white sand, sheltered by headlands on either side making its beach one of the best on the island , ideal for beach lovers and for water sports activities – in addition to the presence of thermal springs in its forest nature reserves surroundings, the village started to develop with the tourism industry in the early 1970’s and became home to a small coastal hotel at that time.

Today, Kaplica is celebrated as a beautiful, but serene coastal holiday resort, amidst breathtaking natural surroundings, with a large beach restaurant and bar, a hotel, and a variety of beach villas and bungalows.

  Kaplica Village and Kaplica Beach lie on the excellent new North Coastal Road, and are strategically located in the island, 45 minutes’ drive from Kyrenia, and Farmagusta and 60 minutes drive from Nicosia.

 Kaplica’s easy links to all areas of North Cyprus makes this a highly desirable place in which to live, holiday, or invest in property.
