The lay-out of this stylishly designed traditional Algarve property provides independence and privacy.
The house is set in carefully designed gardens with numerous mature hedges and trees offering a private oasis for plenty of relaxation and outdoor time.
The electrically-operated gate opens on to a traditionally designed calcada parking area with ample room for 3 cars.
The deliberate use of different textures in the design is not to be missed: painted white walls, hand-built natural stone walls, biscuity-brown Algarve tiles on terraces set off by off-white ones, wooden latticed panels, tall cypress trees, frondy palms and well-trimmed hedges. The attention to detail is present in every corner.
Up some steps, under an arch you enter into the spacious fully-equipped kitchen cum breakfast room. Off this is a sizeable laundry utility room, complete with large fridge and freezer, washing machine and dryer, with a door giving on to a patio.
Beyond the kitchen, under an arch, is a bright all-in-one living and dining room, off of which are two large double bedrooms. The main bedroom, equipped with build-in wardrobes, has its own good-sized en-suite bathroom.
The big back bedroom, with Velux windows, also boasts similarly designed wardrobes, and has a bathroom immediately next door.
Separate from the main house, but joined on, walking round the corner along designed pathways to two conjoined independent suites, and large bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms. They enjoy their own private terrace and a superb patio with raised beds full of flowering shrubs and a delightful fishpond. This area is deliberately designed to allow guests to relax and enjoy their own independent and private space.
A highlight of the garden area, immediately in front of the main house, is a spacious covered terrace with an Algarve barbecue and, looking westwards, stunning views over the orchard, with its mature citrus and fig trees, all the way down to the sea.
On the other side is the large, heated swimming pool - designed for proper swimming and with its extensive terrace for relaxing and sunbathing. All the pathways and terraces boast cleverly designed stonework and local Algarve tiles.
Under the pool terrace, as well as housing the technical room, storerooms and a separate WC for pool users, there is a large air-conditioned room offering the possibility of an extra bedroom, a study office or a gym. It has its own shower room with the necessary infrastructure already pre-installed.
All of the main house and the two independent suites enjoy underfloor heating and air-conditioning. Solar panels are installed to provide domestic hot water and photovoltaic panels reduce electric consumption. High-speed fibre optic internet is installed throughout.
The complete renovation and extension of this property was undertaken in 2016-17. The work was carried out to the highest professional standards and the attention to detail is second to none.
All in all this is a very special property, and located away from the main bustling tourist centres but in easy reach of beaches, golf courses, international schools, the main town of Faro, the airport and all the other many facilities the Algarve has to offer.
It is worth a visit to the property to fully witness its charm.
This country house offers the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, making it an ideal home for those seeking tranquility and connection to nature.

Buying a Property in Portugal
1. Signing a Letter of Intent
On finding a property you wish to purchase, your agent will draw up a 'Letter of Intent, this will be signed by both parties, vendor and buyer. Copies of this will be given to the legal representatives of both parties and will be used in preparing the Promissory Contract. Included in this letter will be the price, what is included in the sale, furnishings etc. and any conditions of the sale plus the dates for both exchange and completion.
2. Exchange of Promissary Contract (Contrato Promessa de Compra e Venda)
The buyers lawyers are responsible for drawing up the promissory contract (Contrato Promessa de Compra e Venda) and as part of the process they will have carried out the legal searches and made sure that there are no charges, e.g. utilities, property tax etc. against the property. The contract will contain details of both parties and include clear title of ownership, when payments are due to be made, the completion date and an inventory, if required. The Promissory Contract is legally binding and will generally be signed by both parties and witnessed by a notary/lawyer. The contract will include penalty clauses in case either party does not fulfill the terms of the contract. A 10%, non-refundable deposit is required at this point, this will be paid to the vendor, through the lawyer's client account. Once the contract has been signed, if the vendor pulls out of the contract, they will be obliged to pay back double the deposit to the purchaser. If the purchaser pulls out, they will lose their deposit.
3. On Completion
The amount of time between signing the Promissary Contract and Completion will vary and will have been agreed in the contract. Before Completion your lawyer will need to arrange with a fiscal representative for you to obtain a Portuguese Fiscal Number. The official Deed of Transfer of ownership (the Escritura) will be signed by you (or someone representing you with your Power of Attorney), this is signed at the Notary and they will retain the document. The Deed will be read aloud by the Notary before all participants sign it. Your lawyer will need to check to ensure that you understand what is being said if you do not understand Portugese. The Escritura, once it has been signed, will officially give you ownership of the property, but will still need to be registered in your name on the Land Registry (Registo Predial) by your lawyer. Your lawyer should obtain a copy of this for your records. Once you have completed, the new utility contracts can be transferred into your name by your lawyer.
