About this property
A unique and private Turkish House set in beautiful and spacious gardens.
Mulberry House is situated in a beautiful and unspoilt part of Turkey. The nearest town is Dalyan, which is a very pretty, level 25-minute walk or a 7-10 minute bike ride away. From the terrace you can watch the sun rise or set against the spectacularly beautiful mountain back drop. It benefits from the recent addition of a salt water swimming pool. There is a lovely patio area with sunbeds and parasols to provide shade although there is ample shade to be found underneath the trees in the garden. The terrace is large and shaded. In summer it is the main living area. A breeze blows across the valley from the mountains and over the terrace. The garden is shaded by mulberry and eucalyptus trees, vines,hibiscus, jasmine and fragrant melissa. The views from the terrace are fantastic. There is a traditional Turkish korsk in the garden for total relaxation. It is easy to sit and look at the unspoiled and beautiful view! Storks are often seen flying over the valley. There are five mountain bikes included with the house. This property would suit anyone who was looking for a holiday with a difference, who wanted to experience the 'real' unspoiled Turkey and 'get away from it all.
Special Activities: Mulberry House is a unique holiday experience. It is ideal for total relaxation or for activity and adventure. Canyoning is one of the activities which is challenging but accessible. It is great to be able to climb up waterfalls and dive into mountain pools. You can also join in the jeep safari which takes you through rivers and into the mountains around Dalyan. Enjoy getting soaked in the natural car washes! It is possible to go white water rafting, or to go parascending or paragliding. You can also canoe in the sea, river or lake. The mud baths and hot springs are also a truly amazing and different experience. There are a variety of local markets to visit , selling a wide selection of traditional and not so traditional goods.
Relaxation: Mulberry House is a very special place. Relaxing in one of the hammocks under the stars is an amazing experience. The sky is so black at night it is easy to see the milky way. During the day the hammocks are shaded by the mulberry trees and you can see grapes growing above your head. Relax with a drink by the pool and you will never want to leave!
The Beach: Iztuzu beach is worth a special mention as it is one of the few totally undeveloped beaches in Turkey. It is 5 km long and is the nesting site for the caretta caretta turtle. At one end of the beach there is a turtle hopital where these huge and endangered animals are nurtured back to health. The beach is totally protected and unspoilt. It is possible to arrive at the beach by boat at one end or bus at the other. You can walk from one end to the other and in the middle it is completely deserted. Snacks and drinks can be purchased from small wooden buildings at either end and you can try the freshly made pancakes with pine honey.

About the host
Hosted by Ruth Drewett
Mulberry House is my own holiday retreat. It is where I go as often as possible to completely relax and unwind. I work hard in the UK (as we all seem to!) in a challenging but very rewarding special school and I need Mulberry House to unwind. It has been, and still is, a wonderful place for my children, now adults with their own children to explore, climb through waterfalls, go trekking, snorkelling and white water rafting in a stunning and beautiful environment. It has captured their imaginations and is their place of choice to stay in the world. This for me is not a business, it is a passion and I simply let out my Turkish home to ensure that it is managed and maintained while I am in the UK. My house in England is the equivalent, an old stone house, with a constant need for maintenance! My own personal favourite trip is the Kaunos Tours Starlight cruise. You take a boat on to the lake at dusk and after a trip to the mud baths and swimming in the lake, the captain will light a barbecue on the boat. It is amazing to swim in the warm waters in the dark and float looking up at the stars. After the meal we lie on the roof of the boat looking up at the sky and count all the shooting stars!
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with Dalyan in 2001 and came back again in 2003. It was then I decided to buy a small property. I spent 1 week looking at all kinds of villas and small Turkish houses. The Turkish houses that won my heart . Eventually I bought Mulberry house because I fell in love with the Mulberry tree! It needed lots of renovation and eventually, due to council restrictions, it was completely rebuilt with earthquake foundations, modern bathrooms and a more open living space. I also have the luxury of a real working open fire place which really warms the house in the winter. It is a truly special house, quite different from the villas in Dalyan as for me it captures an essence of the real Turkey both past and present. I love the location being out of Dalyan and a more rural location. In 2021 two more bedrooms have been added in the roof space and there is a new swimming pool. These were added to accomodate with my own growing family!
What makes this property unique
Mulberry House or Dut Evi as it is in Turkish is not a typical villa. It is a house that a Turkish family would live in and as such it can function as a home all year round. It has recently had a new pool and air conditioning in the bedrooms. There is nothing more relaxing than gently swinging in one of the hammocks under the eucalyptus and mulberry trees reading a book with a breeze wafting over you. Occasionally the odd chicken from the farm next door appears with a few little chicks and is heard scuffling around in the leaves. At night the lack of light pollution means that the stars are incredibly clear. Being 2 km out of Dalyan makes it a cooler place to be and the bicycles are simply to allow a faster trip into Dalyan.
