Hidden within the ancient canopy of Belgrad Forest, yet remarkably close to the very best that Istanbul has to offer, this extraordinary 750 m² designer villa in Bahçeköy, Sarıyer stands in a class entirely of its own. Set on a sweeping 1,550 m² private plot, the residence commands the kind of presence and seclusion that money rarely buys in one of the world’s great cities — a deeply private forest estate that feels a world away from the urban energy of Istanbul, while remaining firmly within its orbit.

About Property
Designed for families of discernment who demand both grandeur and intimacy, every aspect of this six-bedroom villa has been conceived at the highest level of architectural craftsmanship. The proportions are exceptional — a vast open-plan living room, six generously scaled bedrooms each with luxury ensuite bathrooms, and a suite of entertainment and wellness spaces that render the property entirely self-sufficient as a private lifestyle destination. From the billiards room to the private gym, from the tennis and basketball courts to the shimmering swimming pool set against a backdrop of ancient forest, this is a home of rare and enduring distinction.
For families seeking to escape the relentless pace of city living without abandoning its privileges — elite schools, world-class hospitals, fine dining, and international connectivity — this Sarıyer villa is, quite simply, the finest answer available in the Istanbul market today.
Location in Istanbul
The address alone speaks volumes. Belgrad Forest is Istanbul’s most celebrated natural retreat — a vast, ancient woodland stretching across the northern reaches of the European side, long cherished by the city’s most discerning residents as a sanctuary of clean air, birdsong, and unhurried living. Bahçeköy sits at its heart, offering a village-like tranquillity that is extraordinarily rare within a major world city.
Yet the defining quality of this location is not what it distances you from, but what it keeps within reach. Istanbul’s finest international schools and universities, top-ranked private hospitals, premium shopping destinations, and an abundance of dining and leisure options are all accessible within a comfortable 20-minute drive. Daily essentials — from premium supermarkets to neighbourhood cafes — are available within moments of the property. The TEM Highway and major arterial routes connecting the European and Asian sides of the city are similarly close, making the morning commute entirely manageable for working residents.
For international residents and frequent travellers, Istanbul Airport — one of Europe’s largest and most connected international hubs — is reachable with ease, placing the whole of Europe, the Middle East, and beyond within effortless reach.
