Algarve, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Portugal

Perched in the tranquil, rolling hills of the Algarve—just five minutes from the heart of Santa Bárbara de Nexe—this remarkable property has been artfully reimagined from two historic ruins into a pair of sleek, stylish homes that blend modern comfort with timeless charm.

On the south side, a charming one-bedroom villa awaits, complete with built-in wardrobes and a chic en-suite bathroom. The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen with an island perfect for casual breakfasts, flowing seamlessly into a cozy living and dining area warmed by a wood-burning fireplace. Step outside to discover multiple terraces: one facing the sea, another with direct access to a covered BBQ area, and a peaceful west-facing retreat ideal for cooler evenings.

Linked by a sleek metal footbridge, the second house features three luxurious en-suite bedrooms. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms offer private terraces with sweeping sea and countryside views. Downstairs, you’ll find another en-suite bedroom, a spacious living room, laundry area, and a garage—perfect for practical day-to-day living.

The inviting pool features a manual cover and the option to connect to a heat pump, while the low-maintenance garden is dotted with local fruit trees for a splash of Algarve flavor.

Atop the south villa, the roof terrace delivers breathtaking panoramic sea views, a comfortable lounge area, and even an attic for storage. Between the two houses, a shaded terrace with a synthetic lawn provides the ultimate spot to unwind.

Every detail has been considered: air conditioning in all rooms, electric awnings, solar panels for hot water, and a raised foundation to prevent moisture intrusion.

An exceptional investment and a rare gem—this property must be seen to be believed.
