About the owner
Hello, my name is Paula and my husband is Iain. We live in Weybridge, wonderful place when the sun shines. I retired in 2007, and this year have spent my time doing everything from Bear Rescue in Cambodia to a film extra in Greenwich. My other half will be working away until 2013, at which time we hope to spend much of our time enjoying our Catalkoy villa and the delights of North Cyprus.
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose a home in this location
In 2001 visiting North Cyprus we were amazed to find this unique island hardly touched by commercialism - how could this be? The quaint streets, houses surrounded by rainbows of Bougainvillea mingled with Jasmine imparting a wonderful heady scent. Historic sites, wall to wall sunshine - wow. However, it was only on reading a headline in a local newspaper; 'Boys arrested for stealing lemons' we realised if this was the worst to happen we wanted to stay. Searching the Island we found our dream village Catalkoy, every convenience yet away from development areas, but, between harbour and golf course. By chance, early one evening, we found a plot of land there and as we gazed out at the Mediterranean with shafts of golden sunlight gently setting into the blue we knew. The rest, history...
Unique benefits of the property
Our Architect. Cypriot, trained in USA was able to bring together the design and technology we sought. In 2002/3 our holidays were busy creating both interior and exterior areas which encompassed both style and comfort. This entailed importing many furnishings and books for the library. Our first real holiday was 2004. With the realisation we had a haven far beyond original expectation. Somewhere we and our friends plus guests, like yourself, could be as active or as laid back as you like. Decisions, decisions; a walk to the health club, the beach, some historic culture? Could be a day by the pool, whilst thinking about a local restaurant for supper. After which you may choose to sleep on the roof terrace with a cast of a 1000 stars to take you to effervescent oblivion. Until tomorrow...
