Nestled in the hills of Eastern Algarve, just a short stroll away from the heart of Santa Bárbara de Nexe, is this exquisite, 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom family villa. With its spacious and stylish design, this property is a true gem.

As you approach the property through the twin sets of electric gates, the traditional calçada driveway has ample parking for 3-4 cars. There is also a man cave - aka a shed, as well as a log store.

The covered entrance porch opens to the spacious hallway with fitted wardrobes for storing away those winter coats that are only needed for a few weeks of the year. The open-plan living room and dining area have a classical feel and are bathed in plenty of natural light thanks to the patio doors leading to the covered terrace and inviting pool area. The living room has a cosy log-burning fire to keep you warm in the fresher winter months as well as air-conditioning to keep you cool for the rest of the year.

The fully fitted country-style kitchen comes equipped with modern conveniences, including a dishwasher, electric oven, induction hob, extractor, and microwave. There is room for a breakfast table and it has access to the swimming pool terrace, where there is a fully-fitted outdoor kitchen and dining area, complete with a 4-ring gas hob, a charcoal BBQ, a fridge, a dishwasher, and a sink. There's also a separate fully fitted laundry room and pantry with access to the side driveway.

Completing the ground floor are the 3 guest bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and air conditioning, and the family bathroom. There is also access to a fully tiled basement from the third bedroom.

The first floor is accessed via the wide polished stone staircase and is home to the fully air-conditioned master bedroom suite. The spacious bedroom has twin patio doors leading to two private terraces, a log-burning fire, a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and a kitchenette with integrated fridge, sink, and dishwasher. The ensuite bathroom has a separate shower, bathtub, a double vanity unit, a bidet, and a WC.

From the first-floor landing, there is access to the south-facing roof terrace with distant ocean views and an external staircase that leads to the side driveway and pool terrace. If you are thinking about generating some income from your property, or know you will have an endless stream of friends and family coming to stay there is the potential to convert this entire first floor into an independent one-bedroom apartment with its own access.

Outside, the plot is completely private thanks to the mature shrubs and trees surrounding the beautifully landscaped garden, all cared for by the automatic irrigation system. The "Roman End" 10x5 swimming pool is the centrepiece of the outside area and has a Santa Catarina tile surround. There is a covered terrace space so you can get out of the Algarve sun for a few hours as well as the covered dining and entertaining area.

This property is a must-see, ideal for those seeking a permanent family residence or a second home with the convenience of a "lock up and leave" lifestyle. Its proximity to Faro airport, pristine beaches, and world-class golf courses, all within a 15-20 minute drive, adds to its allure so don't miss the opportunity to make this exceptional villa your own.
