Cyprus Hills Mountain Village
Today there is a development nestling on the mountain side with St Hilarion Castle towering above it. This Northern Cyprus development will be, when all its luscious landscaping and its 112 Cyprus luxury villas are complete, the finest village, not just in Northern Cyprus but also in the whole of the Mediterranean.
London and Cyprus Homes has brought together a team of experts in architecture, engineering, construction and interior design to create in Northern Cyprus, Cyprus Hills Mountain Village which will surely aspire to ‘the place to be’ in years to come. Phase one, contains 16 villas which have already been sold to discerning purchasers some of which are occupied all year round and others used frequently for vacations by their owners, their friends and relatives.
A further three are fully completed and ready for sale now from £265,000. These together form an enclosed part of this quaint village with a separate entrance undisturbed by the building work on the next phase which will become available for sale off plan very soon. From every property in Cyprus Hills Mountain Village, the first project and currently London and Cyprus Homes’ flagship development, there is a view of the sea and of the changing sky as the setting sun alters the vista from emerald blue through yellow, ochre and red. |

The last rays of the setting sun picking out the silhouette of the Kyrenia mountain range and of a Kestrel hovering over a likely prey. It is here in these mountains of Northern Cyprus that refugees from Jerusalem sought peace and tranquillity a thousand years ago and Northern Cyprus still offers the same peace, tranquillity and timelessness today for those seeking refuge from a world in which time is a rare commodity.
Stephan Menzies, Managing Director and the principle visionary behind London and Cyprus homes’ developments, is no newcomer to innovative development having worked for 25 years in London and the Home Counties with some of the UK’s leading house builders.
These include Charles Church, Berkeley Homes, Laing Homes, Barratt Homes, Bellway Homes, Bryant Homes, Country Homes, George Wimpey, David Wilson Homes, Cala Homes and Fairview Homes.
In the UK he built a reputation for having the foresight to see the potential of brown-field sites at home and abroad and presented his vision to both seller and buyer in order to complete what are today some of the nations landmarks in house building and social amenities.

Perhaps it is Mr Menzies’ experience of travelling and living in some of the world’s top resorts such as Mallorca, where he owns a luxury home, the Bahamas, Key Biscayne Miami, the South of France and other exotic venues that have inspired him to build this unique village. It is approached through landscaped grassy parkland with an ornate cobbled meandering avenue that breezes past a stunning waterfall on the way to the bandstand where a classical quartet will play live music every Sunday evening during the summer months.
The three to five bedroom villas constructed throughout with natural materials, locally sourced as well as importing the finest quality materials from all over Europe, stand on wide cobbled streets giving an atmosphere of an ancient Mediterranean settlement that has just had a face lift to show the beauty of the natural stone from which the high walls are constructed. The stone silled arched windows with there green wooden shuttering creates a soft rhythm with the huge terraces and their chess board patterned Terracotta tiles.
The interiors reflect the international experience of the design team who can be commissioned by buyers. Every piece of furniture and all soft furnishings provide an accompaniment to the natural finishes of the buildings making one aware of the vastness of every room exuding peace and tranquillity and an amazing sense of space, freedom and well-being. |

Great thought has been given to the way of life in such a place. For example, the open planned kitchen diner allows the host to be always in sight of guests fully participating in the conversation. In the colder evenings of the brief winter season each villa has an open fire that can easily be surrounded by cosy cushioned sofas sufficient to seat a dozen guests.
Or a lesser number of guests sprawled out with a book or just listening to the music piped throughout the house from a central CD bank, one of the many optional extras available.
On the entrance floor there are two bedrooms a high vaulted lounge with open plan kitchen diner and two of the four toilets. The master suite is on the highest level offering stunning uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean and the ancient town of Kyrenia.
As if that were not enough, the innocent door by the travertine staircase leads to a short generous stairway opening up into a cavernous 100M2 natural stone pillared and arched room opening onto a very large chess board terracotta tiled pool terrace. |

As if that were not enough, the innocent door by the travertine staircase leads to a short generous stairway opening up into a cavernous 100M2 natural stone pillared and arched room opening onto a very large chess board terracotta tiled pool terrace. This area offers a multiplicity of options for bespoke design.
Options abound from the fitting of bars, steam rooms, Saunas and stone seating. It will be on this veranda that you will mostly entertain your friends whilst watching the azure sky turn to the red sunsets that are a daily occurrence whilst swifts and swallows dart and dive against the cloudless sky.
Put out all those external lights that come as standard fittings the better to see the moon rise and the sky illuminated with a myriad of stars. This really is a romantic stargazer’s paradise due to the lack of glaring street lighting, pollution and cloud.
But in some of the villas there is more. Yet another stairway leads down to a fully tiled basement area that a purchaser may chose to fit out as a spa, private cinema or gym. It certainly provides opportunity for the individual’s imagination to run wild. |

However, the standard specifications are impressive and much more than just adequate: Gas fired central heating, air conditioning, luxury fitted kitchens and bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, 10 x 5 meter. infinity pool, stone walls on all boundaries, feature fire places, wooden shutters, highest quality double glazed doors and windows, so the list goes on.
It is no surprise then that this Mountain Village won the developer of the year award at the TRNC property awards dinner as well as the best North Cyprus development, the best North Cyprus luxury Villa and the best North Cyprus luxury development.
But Mr Menzies says the best reward of all is the fulfilment of his initial dream that buyers of his properties in Cyprus would be so proud of their purchase that anyone visiting the site is invited in by them for a cup of tea or a glass of wine so that they can show off how clever they are to have bought a London and Cyprus property at Cyprus Hills Mountain Village. And that is exactly what happens. Check it out for yourself but be warned; just one visit to Cyprus Hills Mountain Village is enough to put your UK home at risk. |
