Three Palms - A permaculture start up project
We are a couple from London who 3 years ago gave up our careers in film & art to restore an old farmhouse. We’re now embarked on a permaculture start up project growing all kinds of fruit trees & organic herbs & vegetables. We are located in the beautiful Xanthos valley in the shadow of an ancient Lycian city, not far from Fethiye. We are well placed for short day trips to Patara beach (30 mins), Saklikent Gorge (10mins) & the famous blue lagoon at Oludeniz (50mins).
The stone cottage & barn have been lovingly restored & provide excellent accommodation for our guests, with stunning mountain views. We are particularly interested in design & our vision is to create a beautifully landscaped environment that is visually stimulating, organically productive & a pleasant place to live.
