About this property
THE ORIENTAL COTTAGE
Unique Restored Cypriot House with a Blend of Primitive and Neo-Classical Architecture
Nestled along the picturesque route to the mountains of Lapta, this stunning home combines primitive and Neo-Classical architectural styles, making it a true masterpiece. Restored by Aphrodite Brothers Company, one of the most renowned restoration and estate companies in North Cyprus, the house stands as a testament to timeless beauty and craftsmanship.
The Space
The house is built from locally-sourced sandstone, painstakingly cut from the seashore and transported to the mountain by donkey and horse. A pair of large, double wooden doors welcome you, framed by an elegant stone arch that enhances the grandness of the main entrance. The expansive living room features a dramatic Gothic stone arch and a striking stone fireplace, adding character and charm to the space.
The kitchen is generously sized and fitted with natural pine wood cupboards, exuding warmth and traditional charm. The open-plan kitchen and dining area features an antique English dining table with six antique chairs, perfect for family meals and gatherings.
The spacious bedroom, accessible from both the kitchen and living room, is furnished with a Victorian-period double bed, an antique wardrobe, and an ornate makeup table with a mirror. Adjacent to the bedroom, you'll find a shower and toilet room with a convenient door leading directly to the main terrace.
Garden & Privacy
The house is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden, ensuring complete privacy and seclusion. It feels as though the house is hidden within the lush greenery, offering a peaceful, tranquil environment. There are no neighbors overlooking the property, and guests will enjoy a serene, undisturbed stay. A private driveway accommodates up to two cars.
Guest Access
Guests have full access to the garden, where they can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. However, the neighborhood lands and patios are off-limits to guests.
Local Attractions
For those looking to explore, the vibrant town of Lapta is only a short drive or 10-minute walk away. Be sure to visit Carkos Restaurant, just 3 minutes away by car, where you can savor delicious oven-baked lamb, fish, and charcoal-grilled kebabs in a cozy, artistic atmosphere. The restaurant is also home to captivating paintings by artist Kristina, the service manager, and her partner Celal, the chef.
Nearby, you'll find a range of amenities, including pharmacies, markets, beauty salons, fitness centers, and some of the island's best sandy beaches, all just a short drive away.
