Villas and houses for sale in Mahmutlar
Villas and houses for sale in Mahmutlar are a rarity in a district of high-rise complexes: houses here number a few dozen, all of them resale, and they stand where the towers have not reached — in the upper part of the district between the D400 highway and the mountains, or on the border with Kargicak. A 2+1 townhouse with a shared pool costs from €150,000, a 3+1 semi-detached villa €200,000–300,000, a detached 4+1 villa with a pool from €350,000.
A house here is chosen by those who want a garden and quiet without giving up urban infrastructure: supermarkets and bus stops 5 minutes away, clinics and schools in the district, central Alanya 20–25 minutes. The choice is between formats rather than districts: a detached villa with a pool on the Kargicak border, a semi or townhouse in an estate above the highway, or an older house with a garden as the lowest entry price.
What matters to the buyer: houses here cost less than in Kargicak because there is no hillside panorama, yet they hold their value better than 2000s flats, since each one is a one-off. A house from $200,000 in the tapu gives grounds for residency, and a furnished one can be let to families straight after the deal.
Villas for sale in Mahmutlar sell more slowly than flats: buyers compare each house with those in Kargicak and Kestel, and the nearby sections are open for that: villas for sale in Alanya, villas for sale in Oba and villas for sale in Kestel. The district as a whole is listed under properties for sale in Mahmutlar, houses across the country under villas for sale in Turkey, and the whole catalogue starts from property for sale in Turkey.
Types of villas and houses in Mahmutlar
By layout the district's houses split almost evenly between family formats: 4+1 and larger are detached villas on two or three levels with terraces, some with a private pool; 3+1 are semis and houses in small estates, on the page three-bedroom villas in Mahmutlar; 2+1 are townhouses and compact houses with one pool for the estate, on the page two-bedroom villas in Mahmutlar.
By construction: a detached villa has its plot and pool written into the tapu with the land and is listed on the page villas with a pool in Mahmutlar; a semi is a pair of houses under one roof with separate gardens and one pool between them; a townhouse stands in a row with shared grounds, an aidat as in a complex and land held in shares; and an older house in upper Mahmutlar has a garden and a garage but no pool. Floor area in listings includes terraces and utility floors, so living space is usually 20–30% less than declared.
Popular locations in Mahmutlar for buying a villa
Houses stand where the high-rises have not yet reached, and the cost of a villa in Mahmutlar follows the location rather than the floor area:
| Location | Why people choose it | What they buy and for whom |
| Upper Mahmutlar above the D400 | the bulk of the district's houses, plots at the foot of the mountains, shops and bus stops 5 minutes away, 15–20 minutes on foot to the sea | 3+1 semis at €200,000–300,000 and townhouses from €150,000 for families living here all year |
| Eastern border with Kargicak | villas on the first slopes with a sea view, low-rise surroundings, the beach by car | detached 4+1 villas with pools from €350,000 for those who want a view and quiet |
| Western border with Kestel | older houses between the complexes | houses with gardens at €150,000–250,000 as the lowest entry price |
By the sea there are almost no houses: the first two lines are built up with complexes. Those who need a view are usually better served by neighbouring Kargicak; Mahmutlar wins when walking-distance infrastructure and a lower price matter more.
Villa and house prices in Mahmutlar
Villa prices in Mahmutlar are lower than in Kargicak and Tepe, because the panorama people pay for in Alanya is missing here. Four houses in five cost up to €350,000: townhouses, semi-detached villas and older houses; above that sit detached villas with a pool and plot and houses on the border with Kargicak.
The average square metre across Alanya in June 2026 was 59,938 lira, about €1,070, and Mahmutlar's houses are valued below that mark.
The cost of a house in Mahmutlar by format:

| Detached 4+1 villa with a pool | the border with Kargicak | from €350,000 |
The cost of houses in Mahmutlar is shown on every card in euros and dollars, and payment under the contract goes in euros, dollars or lira.
Villas in Mahmutlar for investment and rental income
Investing in villas in Mahmutlar differs from investing in flats: rental income is lower, but so is the competition. Flats for short lets in the district run into thousands, houses with a pool are counted in dozens, and families with children look for exactly those for the summer.
Villas in Mahmutlar for investment follow one of two routes:
| Route | How it works | What to bear in mind |
| Pool house let to holidaying families | April–October season, run by a management company | a tourism licence is needed, a detached house does not require the neighbours' agreement, the company's fee is 15–25% of income |
| House with a long-term expatriate tenant | a one-year contract with a family settled in the district | expatriate families steadily seek houses with a garden, so the house is not empty in winter |
Pool and garden upkeep, DASK insurance and rental income tax at 15–40% on income above 58,000 lira a year come off the takings. Once the house has been owned for 5 years, resale profit is untaxed. Furnished houses can be let straight after the deal.
Trends and price forecast for villas in Mahmutlar
| Factor | What is happening | Effect on the district's houses |
| Supply | houses are a fraction of the district's listings and developers build none | houses do not lose value along with 2000s flats: each finds its own buyer |
| Prices across Alanya | up 22.1% in lira over the year, unchanged in euros | pool houses hold their euro price; houses without a pool and with dated interiors sell after bargaining |
| Closed neighbourhoods | some neighbourhoods of Alanya are closed to new foreign registrations, the lists change | the neighbourhood's status is checked before the deposit, and for a house it matters as much as for a flat |
Forecast to the end of 2026: pool houses on the border with Kargicak will keep their euro price, and older houses by the highway will remain the most affordable way into a house of your own by the sea.
We will help you buy a villa in Mahmutlar for relocation and living
Buy villa in Mahmutlar for foreigners: the house comes with its land, in the buyer's own name, without permits or local partners. The national limits apply: a 30-hectare cap per person, no military zones, and no neighbourhoods that have stopped registering foreigners.
What matters for living in a house in Mahmutlar: supermarkets and bus stops 5 minutes away, private clinics and international schools in the district, the state hospital in Oba 15 minutes away, central Alanya 20–25 minutes. There is no central heating; air conditioning and fireplaces do the job in winter.
A villa in Mahmutlar whose tapu (title deed) shows $200,000 or more supports a residence permit application if the neighbourhood accepts foreigners. At $400,000 the citizenship programme opens, and the spouse and children under 18 are included.
To buy house in Mahmutlar takes one trip: 1–2 weeks pass between the deposit and registration at the land registry, during which the tapu, the iskan (occupancy permit), the plot boundaries on the cadastral plan and any unpermitted structures are checked. Houses here are rare, so a suitable one is viewed as soon as it appears: pick by bedrooms, pool and furniture and set the viewings for one date, since every house in the district is within 10 minutes' drive of the others.
Why choose Turk.Estate to buy a villa in Mahmutlar?
Because the district's houses are in one list next to the much wider choice in Alanya, and filters by bedrooms, pool, furniture and storeys show at once what Mahmutlar has and what to look for in Kargicak.
How many villas and houses for sale in Mahmutlar are available to buy?
A few dozen: detached villas, semis and townhouses, mostly with three or four bedrooms. Some have a private pool, others share the estate's, and all are resale.
How to choose the right villa in Mahmutlar to buy?
First decide whether you need your own pool: some houses have one, the rest share the estate's pool or have none. Then the location: the upper district is closer to the shops, the border with Kargicak gives the view. Before the deposit, check the tapu with the land, the iskan, the cadastral plan of the plot, arrears and the neighbourhood's status.
Where are the best places to buy a villa in Mahmutlar?
For year-round living, upper Mahmutlar, where shops, clinics and bus stops are 5 minutes' walk away. For a sea view, the eastern border with Kargicak. For the smallest budget, older houses by the highway and on the border with Kestel.
Can foreigners buy a house or a villa in Mahmutlar?
Yes, together with the plot and in their own name, with a passport, a Turkish tax number and a local bank account. Before the deal it is established whether the neighbourhood still registers new foreign residents.
How much does a villa in Mahmutlar cost?
Townhouses and older houses start at €150,000, 3+1 semi-detached villas cost €200,000–300,000 and a detached villa with a pool on the border with Kargicak from €350,000, which is the top of the district's range.
How have villa prices in Mahmutlar changed over the past year?
Housing across Alanya rose 22.1% in lira, and in euros prices did not change. Houses with a pool in Mahmutlar held their hard-currency price; houses without a pool and with dated interiors sell after bargaining.
Is investing in villas in Mahmutlar worthwhile?
Yes, with a horizon of at least 5 years and the bet on family lets: the district has a dozen and a half pool houses, so competition is thinner than among flats. After 5 years of ownership the sale is tax-free. Fast growth in euros is unlikely.
What rental yield does a villa in Mahmutlar deliver?
Lower than a flat's in percentage terms, but with less competition: families take a pool house for weeks at a time in summer. The season lasts 6–7 months, and the manager's cut is 15–25%. A house let long-term to expatriates is occupied all year.
Can you get a residence permit by buying a villa in Mahmutlar?
Yes, if the tapu states $200,000 or more in lira at the day's exchange rate, the house is residential with an iskan, and the neighbourhood accepts foreigners. The first permit runs for up to 2 years and is then extended.
Can you buy a villa in Mahmutlar remotely and sign the TAPU by power of attorney?
Yes, with a notarised and apostilled power of attorney: your representative handles the account, the contract and the tapu at the Alanya land registry. Have the house and plot inspected by an independent surveyor in that case.
How long does it take to buy a villa in Mahmutlar?
1–2 weeks: tax number, account, valuation report, payment, tapu registration. Every house in the district is finished, so there is no wait for handover.
What taxes and fees apply when buying a villa in Mahmutlar?
Registering the tapu costs 4% of the price, with about $1,000 more for the valuation, the cadastral fee and DASK insurance. A non-resident's first purchase in foreign currency carries no VAT. Yearly tax on the house is 0.2% of cadastral value, and the land under it is taxed separately.
How much do aidat and utility bills cost for a villa in Mahmutlar?
In an estate with a shared pool the aidat is paid as in a complex; a detached house has no aidat, but the pool, garden and repairs are paid for by the owner. Electricity bills climb in summer with the air conditioning and the pool pump, and in winter with the heating.
Is it better to buy a new build or a resale property in Mahmutlar?
For houses there is no choice: the district's houses are all resale, and developers build none here. The advantages are the tapu at once, furniture in some of them and room to haggle. New houses are looked for in Kargicak and Demirtas.
Can you buy a villa in Mahmutlar in installments from the developer?
No, there are no houses from developers in the district. Instalments are given only on flats in complexes under construction. Houses are bought with own funds; banks rarely grant mortgages to foreigners.
How is Mahmutlar different from the centre of Alanya?
In density and price. The centre has the castle, the harbour, the old town and the tourists; Mahmutlar is a residential resort district with a promenade, a market and clinics, and more expatriates than any other part of Alanya. Houses here cost less than in Tepe and Bektas above the centre, but without the panorama, and the centre is 20–25 minutes away by bus.
Can you buy property in Mahmutlar directly from the owner?
Yes, a few houses in the section are listed by owners, who can be contacted from the property page. The deal follows the same order: valuation, tapu and iskan checks, land registry.
Which developer should you choose to buy a villa in Mahmutlar?
There are no houses from developers in Mahmutlar, but the district is home ground for Yekta Homes: its finished and ongoing complexes are open in the catalogue. Those considering a spacious flat or duplex in a new complex instead of a house should start with them.
What are the risks of buying a villa in Mahmutlar?
A house without an iskan, unpermitted structures on the plot, an unformalised share in the estate's land, a neighbourhood that no longer supports residence permits, debts left by the previous owner. The land registry, the municipality and the migration office settle all of this before the deposit.
