Zilal Gül Nefes Koru

A New Development in Eyüp

Zilal Gul Nefes Koru sits in Gokturk, a green, low-density suburb within the Eyup district on the European side of Istanbul, prized for its forests, clean air and villa-style calm. Delivered by Zilal Gul Insaat, the roughly 26,000 square meter development arranges 202 homes across a landscaped setting, ranging from two and three-bedroom apartments to spacious duplexes, four and five-bedroom layouts and detached villas. The concept centres on nature-led living, with generous greenery woven between the blocks and open space treated as a defining feature rather than an afterthought. Good road links toward the city centre and Kemerburgaz, together with nearby international schools and everyday amenities, make Gokturk a long-standing favourite among families seeking room to breathe without leaving Istanbul behind.

Location & Connectivity

Gokturk is one of Istanbul's most sought-after green suburbs, bordered by the woodland of the Belgrad Forest and the Kemerburgaz valley, which give the area its fresh air and outdoor character. The neighbourhood is well known for its concentration of international and private schools, boutique cafes and the nearby Kemer Country club, all of which reinforce its family-oriented, upscale profile. Road connections run toward Kemerburgaz and on to the TEM motorway and the Basin Ekspres business corridor, linking residents to the wider city and the northern districts. Despite its calm, forested feel, the centre of Istanbul and its commercial hubs remain accessible by car. This balance of nature, schooling and connectivity is exactly what draws buyers to Gokturk.

Homes & Amenities

Accommodation spans a genuinely varied mix, from two and three-bedroom apartments to generous duplexes and four and five-bedroom detached villas, allowing buyers to choose between lock-up-and-leave flats and private family homes within a single community of 202 residences. Set across a large landscaped plot, the project places greenery and open space at the heart of daily life, with gardens, walking areas and generous distances between the buildings. On-site security and controlled access provide peace of mind in this quiet suburban pocket, while the wooded Gokturk surroundings deliver the low-density, fresh-air lifestyle that draws buyers here. Nearby schools, cafes and retail keep essentials within easy reach.

Investment Potential

The investment appeal of Nefes Koru lies in Gokturk's enduring status as a premium, low-density enclave where villas and garden homes are scarce and consistently in demand from affluent families. Nature-led communities of this kind tend to hold their value well and attract stable, long-term residents, supporting both resale and rental prospects. The variety of apartments, duplexes and villas broadens the potential buyer pool. For lifestyle buyers and investors alike, it offers a distinctive green proposition.

Turkish Citizenship by Investment

• A purchase in this project can support a Turkish citizenship application only if the specific property meets the legal conditions: an official valuation report of at least USD 400,000, payment through the Turkish banking system, a three-year no-sale annotation on the title deed and a seller who is not a foreign national.
• Eligibility depends on the individual unit and the transaction, so it is confirmed case by case and cannot be assumed for the project as a whole. As your broker, we check these points for the property you are considering. Our guide to Turkish citizenship by investment explains the full process.
