Setúbal, Santiago do Cacém, Portugal

Located three hundred meters from Lagoa de Santo André and 900 meters from the beach, this sophisticated three-ensuite-bedroom villa, with an annex that can be transformed into an independent apartment, offers a unique opportunity to experience the spirit of Melides. Set on a 2,190 square meter plot, the house reflects traditional Alentejo architecture, incorporating typical elements of the region and blending them with sophisticated, simple luxury. Only one hour from Lisbon’s airport.

The villa is designed to maximize natural light, featuring high-quality finishes and unique details, such as a small window in a thick wall that captures the exterior like a painting, and water heaters for each bedroom. The garden, with a drip irrigation system, showcases a developing landscape with species typical of the Alentejo region, palm trees, pine trees, and flowers from Madeira Island, including a hundred-year-old olive tree and a lemon tree that bears fruit all year round. The property also includes an irrigation system that adjusts the water quantity according to the specific needs of each plant.

The property has a carport for three cars, equipped to charge electric vehicles. A traditional Alentejo Mitsubishi L200 is included in the sale.

The interior of the house is relaxed and functional. The floor is made of traditional matte brick, manufactured in Portugal, and the kitchen is equipped with a central island made of cut-resistant stone, as well as high-quality Smeg appliances. The living room features a typical Alentejo fireplace and sliding glass doors that disappear into the walls, allowing perfect integration with the exterior. All bedrooms are en-suite, with excellent finishes and an authentic style.

The property also includes a high-quality pool with a remote-controlled water heating system and automatic cover. The pool was built with seismic materials and measures 14m x 5m x 1.60m.

The annex offers a terrace with an extension made of brick similar to the main house, which can be transformed into a guest house. Besides the mains water, the property will have a borehole to ensure water supply. The area around the pool includes an outdoor shower with hot water, allowing a comfortable shower after a swim.

The villa includes a wooden animal house with a metal structure and a drinking system for the animals. Just a few steps from the beach and close to Melides, this is the perfect opportunity for those seeking a sophisticated and authentic lifestyle.
