Grandma’s Farm is located on a land that
is owned by Öztalay Family for over
200 years; formerly known as Süleyman Bey farm when it
was measured over 300 000 square meters. As the time
goes by, the land has gotten smaller because of
inheritances. At the present time the farm is owned by
Ali Haydar Öztalay and his wife Fatma Hakime Öztalay. |

Ali Haydar Öztalay was a Turkish Navy
Officer and served as a commander of
war ship during the World War I, he then became a
teacher at Navy Academy
thereafter. After the World War II, he left the Navy and
became the Mayor of
Izmit City Hall. |

Today, Öztalay family is
consisting of son Ali Yilmaz Öztalay and his
wife Ayse Gülen; Daughter Fatma Esin Öztalay;
grand children Ayse Cimen Yüksel and her husband
Deniz Yüksel; Haydar Melih Öztalay and Fehmi
Selim Öztalay.
For many years, the place was
used as a farm. In 1998 Cimen and Deniz Yüksel
have proposed an idea of building a recreational
area within the farm. This idea was accepted by
the other members of the family and planned
|
to build different old style Turkish
houses consistent of 4 homes with different Turkish
architecture and one house with 2 stories for social
events. At the center of the area, there is a large
swimming pool for the guests. The facility was opened
for operation in March 2000 and initially hosted foreign
factory managers of Ford Otosan, Knauf, Good Year and
Hyundai etc. |

We can make arrangement for
private parties and provide rural breakfast,
brunch during weekdays and week-ends with
advance reservation. Beside the above services,
it is possible to stay over nights or on
week-ends within
the facility for the people who would like to
feel and breathe fresh air of the nature.
