Algarve, Porches, Portugal

Elegant Sanctuary in the Heart of the Algarve

This expansive, beautifully crafted home is a warm and inviting sanctuary that seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern elegance. Situated on a substantial 1.6-hectare plot in the highly sought-after area of Porches Velho—one of the Algarve’s most prestigious and rarely available locations—this residence offers perfect harmony of privacy, comfort, and stunning natural beauty.

Designed over two thoughtfully designed levels, the home maximises breathtaking views, including distant sea vistas. Conveniently located just 10-12 minutes from pristine beaches such as Praia da Marinha, vibrant shopping districts, and top international schools—including Dutch, German, and British options—this property provides an ideal balance of tranquility and accessibility.

The fully fenced estate is accessed through elegant electric gates, leading along a charming, cobbled (calçada) driveway bordered by lush lawns. The welcoming entrance sets the tone for the quality and care invested in this home, guiding you to the front door or spacious garage.

Inside, a grand double-height entrance hall with beautiful Santa Catarina tiled ceilings invites you into the heart of the house. To either side of the hallway are a versatile fifth bedroom and a guest bathroom, offering flexible space for visitors or a home office.

The expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for entertaining, filled with natural light and offering nearly wrap-around terraces that extend outdoor living. The terraces provide stunning views and multiple spaces for relaxation, dining, or enjoying the Algarve’s legendary sunsets. An external staircase leads down to the large swimming pool, perfect for warm summer days.

On the lower level, four additional bedrooms and three bathrooms—including a luxurious master suite with a separate dressing room—offer comfort and privacy. All bedrooms have direct access to the pool area, ideal for outdoor leisure.

Additional amenities include a sizable garage, basement area, and ample parking for several vehicles, accessed via a separate drive for convenience.

Beyond its exceptional living spaces, this property offers exciting development potential, with land allowing for up to 2,000 square meters of additional construction—perfect for agritourism or other ventures, adding versatility and value.
