New ski resort to boost Turkish property market

Wednesday, 15 December 2010 3:58 PM

As a brand new Turkish ski resort prepares for its grand opening later this month, those looking to invest in overseas property are being offered a taste of what the snowy development might be able to offer them.

Seki ski resort, near Fethiye, on Turkey's Mediterranean coastline, is ready for its official opening on December 20th.

The complex is expected to attract an enormous number of ski enthusiasts to the region, as well as offering a little something extra for those seeking an overseas investment opportunity.

In addition to three slopes, the site boasts a luxurious hotel, a ski hire shop and a restaurant, with nearby Fethiye offering additional entertainment.

"Fethiye, the coastal resort, is well known to many people as it is an active year-round town with a wide choice of shops, bars and restaurants, and Seki mountain village is just over an hour's drive inland," said Suleyman Akbay, managing director of Oceanwide Properties.

It is no surprise that Akbay is keen to promote the area, as his company soon hopes to be selling off-plan properties just a stone's throw from the new ski resort, with prices starting from £165,000.

Buyers could soon get their hands on a three-bedroom detached villa, with stunning views of fertile valley – famous for growing apples – and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"We anticipate this region increasing in popularity with the opening of the ski resort. Those investing now may well feel the benefits," added Akbay.

"A rental return on a three-bedroom detached villa in the ski season should be around £1,200 per week."
