A truly remarkable 4 bedroom detached villa for sale near Sao Bras de Alportel, set in an elevated south facing position with countryside views, distant sea views, mature landscaped gardens, private swimming pool and double garage.
Located just a short drive from the market town of Sao Bras de Alportel, this substantial villa offers space, privacy and excellent potential. Built over three floors, the property provides over 553m2 of construction on a private 2,059m2 plot, making it a rare opportunity for buyers looking for a large Algarve home in an established countryside setting.
The property includes 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, dining room, two superb lounges, covered terraces, basement/annex potential and a large double garage, all surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and a spectacular pool area.
Layout
The property is arranged over three floors and offers spacious accommodation throughout. On entering through the main entrance door, there is an immediate feeling of warmth and character, with a handmade marble and wood staircase, traditional Portuguese tiles and a wood and glass separator allowing the entrance hallway to be closed off from the main living accommodation.
Through the doors, the property leads into an inner hallway with traditional archways. One archway opens into the elegant formal lounge, complete with fireplace and south facing patio doors giving direct access to the terrace overlooking the swimming pool.
The lounge flows through to the dining room and then into a superb TV lounge. This is a large and spacious room with wonderful natural light, beautiful countryside views, a log burner and air conditioning, making it a comfortable year-round living space.
An additional inner hallway leads from the reception area into the fitted kitchen with built-in appliances and a useful utility room. A door from the kitchen opens into a charming inner courtyard with storage rooms, an old working bread oven and BBQ area, creating excellent potential for an outdoor kitchen or covered entertaining space.
The ground floor also includes two double bedrooms, both with patio doors leading to private terraces, along with a shared family bathroom.
First Floor
The handmade staircase leads to the first floor, where there is another grand reception area, ideal as an office, reading area or additional sitting space.
This level includes two large bedroom suites, both of which could easily be considered master suites. Each bedroom offers excellent space, fitted wardrobes, patio doors leading onto private terraces and large en-suite bathrooms.
One en-suite has been recently upgraded to include a modern wet room, while the other retains a more traditional feel with a sunken bath, separate shower, wash basin and toilet.
The private terraces on this level are a lovely feature, giving the bedrooms their own outdoor space and taking advantage of the propertys elevated position.
Basement / Double Garage
The lower level of the property includes a spacious double garage with separate doors and direct access from the driveway.
Adjacent to the garage is a large basement room with direct access to the swimming pool area. The owners have already made practical use of the space by creating an additional bathroom, making it convenient for poolside use.
This lower level offers excellent potential for improvement and could be adapted to create an additional lounge, bedroom, bathroom, studio, guest suite or leisure area, subject to the necessary permissions.
Outside Space
The property benefits from easy direct access from a local village tarmac road, with no dirt track. Electric gates open onto the driveway, providing parking and direct access to the double garage.
The plot is fully walled and fenced, offering privacy and security, especially for buyers with animals. The mature landscaped gardens are well maintained and include established borders, palm trees, natural planting and an orchard with various fruit trees.
Automatic irrigation is installed throughout the garden, making the outside space easier to maintain.
The swimming pool area is one of the standout features of the property. South facing and positioned to enjoy sunshine throughout the year, it includes generous sunbathing terraces, an outdoor shower and BBQ area.
Thanks to the elevated position, the property also benefits from a pleasant breeze during the warmer summer months.
