Algarve, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Portugal

Once two ruins, this remarkable property has been transformed into two modern houses, offering all the comfort and insulation one expects from a new building. Nestled in the gentle hills of the Algarve, it provides a serene escape just 6 minutes from the center of the village of Santa Barbara de Nexe.

On the south side of the property, you'll find a charming one-bedroom en suite villa. The open-plan living-dining-kitchen area is inviting, with a guest toilet and multiple terraces. One terrace faces the ocean, another leads to the outdoor kitchen, and a third on the west side offers a shaded retreat. The kitchen features an island perfect for breakfast, and the living room includes a cozy wood fireplace. Connected to this villa is a three-bedroom en suite house, equally well-finished and equipped. The first floor hosts two en suite bedrooms, each with access to a terrace, while the ground floor features another en suite bedroom and a living room. A utility room and a garage add to the convenience.

The property boasts a swimming pool and a pool house, with the pool measuring 6.25 x 3.5 meters and equipped with a manual cover and an optional heat pump connection. For shade during warm summers, three electric blinds cover the south and east terraces. A metal footbridge links the two houses, providing access to the roof terrace of the south house. From here, you can enjoy fabulous sea views, with vistas stretching to Olhão, Vilamoura, and Quinta Do Lago. The roof terrace also features a comfortable sitting area and an attic for storage. Between the two houses, a shaded terrace with synthetic lawn offers a perfect spot to relax with a book. Entry to the property is through a beautifully crafted manual gate. This villa is equipped with air conditioning throughout and solar panels for hot water. Built on a crawlspace, the houses are protected from ground humidity, and the property boasts an A+ energy rating. It is connected to mains water and sewage, ensuring all modern conveniences.
