A serene farm in the heart of Turkish nature
A serene farm in the heart of Turkish nature, only an hour and a half away from Istanbul, features four beautiful Kontio houses designed especially for weekend getaways.
“After 26 years in the corporate world, I was longing for a new chapter. One that allowed me the freedom of my own time yet kept me connected to the energy of work and creation. In that search for a project, I could truly bring to life, Kontio appeared at exactly the right moment”, says the landowner Vedat Bayrak.
“Years ago, my wife and I bought a piece of land in nature with our very first savings. Over time, that piece of land — only an hour and a half away from Istanbul, one of the world’s most vibrant metropolises — became the heart of our dream for a country life close to the city.
What began with a single log house soon turned into something far greater: a reimagining of the way we live. With their refined architecture, harmony with nature, and timeless aesthetics, these homes have touched not only us, but also everyone who visits. Each guest’s reaction reminds us how right our decision was.”
“Today, as we complete our fourth house, we find ourselves eager to spend more of our lives here in peace, surrounded by nature, within homes that are simple, safe, and sustainable. We invite everyone to experience this way of living and to rediscover peace and beauty in homes that respect nature. And perhaps, to be inspired to build a life like this in the green paradise of Sapanca, just a short drive from Istanbul.”
