This charming and spacious "Quinta style" farmhouse is set in 8,500m2 (just over 2 acres) of land in a unique elevated location surrounded by natural beauty with dazzling panoramic views of the surrounding countryside to the Monchique Mountains beyond.
It is an idyllic spot for anyone looking for peace and tranquillity, breathtaking scenery and to be in perfect harmony with nature.
This beautiful house has been thoughtfully and lovingly rebuilt from the ground up in 2010.
Access to the property is via a tarmac road and a short country track giving it total privacy. Through the gated entrance a long driveway leads to an ample parking area and the house.
The large covered terrace leads to the entrance. The front door opens to a spacious entrance hall overlooking the vaulted, open-plan living area with stunning views over the surrounding hills and countryside.
The open-plan living space boasts a wall of patio doors, flooding the room with lots of natural light and making the most of the spectacular views. The patio doors lead to the pool terrace perfect for seamless inside - outside entertainment. The living room also benefits from a wood burning fireplace ideal for those cosy nights and air-conditioning for heating and cooling.
The separate kitchen with granite worktops has ample space for a table and chairs and boasts double patio doors leading to the outside terrace for al-fresco dining.
From the entrance hall a corridor leads to the 3 en-suite bedrooms and a WC. The master en-suite bedroom features a bath with overhead shower and twin sinks. There are two further double bedrooms both with en-suite shower rooms. All bedrooms offer mono-vaulted ceilings and patio doors leading to outside terraces flooding each room with natural light.
The villa benefits from double glazed windows, underfloor heating, a wood burning fireplace and air-conditioning in the living area and 2 bedrooms and pre-installation in other rooms.
Outside there are many areas for relaxation and taking in the unobstructed views over the hills and breathtaking landscape. The large swimming pool is surrounded by ample terrace areas perfect for sunbathing. The house is surrounded by a paved terrace and has low maintenance gardens with winding paths through the native flora and fauna. In the garden is a wooden house perfect for storage and an outside kitchen with BBQ and built in sink. There is an area to play petanque/boules and another pergola for relaxing.
Located only a 2 minute walk from the closest cafe and a 5 minute walk from the closest restaurant, this property offers the peace and privacy of the countryside yet it's close to amenities and is not isolated as there are neighbours in the area.
