Baspinar, Girne, north of Cyprus

Discover a unique haven in the heart of Baspinar - Lapta - a traditional stone villa that exudes authenticity, warmth, and timeless character. Tucked into the hillside of this peaceful mountain village, this home is the kind of rare find that captures the soul of Cyprus. With its handcrafted stonework, rustic wooden features, and panoramic views stretching from the mountains to the sea, this villa offers a lifestyle rooted in nature and heritage.

From the moment you step into the welcoming foyer, you're drawn into a space that feels lived-in, loved, and full of stories. On one side, a spacious living room with a fireplace connects to a charming study that once served as a library or office. A stone archway leads to the traditional kitchen, which opens onto a covered terrace-perfect for alfresco dining with views of the terraced garden and surrounding landscape.

On the opposite side of the foyer, a hallway guides you past a utility room and bathroom to two bedrooms-one of which features a wooden staircase leading to a large attic with a window overlooking untouched nature. The master bedroom is generously sized and leads directly to the poolside area.

Outside, the magic continues. The land is terraced and rich with mature fruit trees, flowering plants, and space to create your own garden sanctuary. Multiple tucked-away corners invite quiet moments or joyful gatherings. Beneath the house, a collection of useful spaces includes the pool room, an old maid's quarters, and a tool shed. There's also a wooden garage/shed for additional storage or workshop space.

This villa does require some renovation-but the bones are strong, the history is rich, and the potential is extraordinary. A rare opportunity for those who appreciate character, nature, and authentic Cypriot charm.
