Algarve, Loulé, Portugal

This versatile and beautifully maintained property, located in the charming area of São Sebastião, offers a unique combination of modern comfort, traditional charm, and outstanding development potential. The estate is divided into a Main House and a fully refurbished Apartment, making it ideal for family living, guest accommodation, or tourism rental opportunities.

Lower Ground Level – Apartment & Poolside Facilities
The lower ground level hosts a stylish 2-bedroom apartment, fully modernized with underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout. The open-plan kitchen and dining area are bright and welcoming, and one of the two bedrooms enjoys serene views of the retiled swimming pool. A sleek bathroom completes the apartment.

On the same level, an additional self-contained room with a kitchen and bathroom provides convenient access from the pool and outdoor entertaining area—perfect for relaxed summer gatherings. Provision has already been made for the installation of a lift, offering enhanced accessibility in line with the property’s future development plans.

Main House
The main residence features a generous open-plan living and dining area, four spacious bedrooms (including two with en-suite showers), a family bathroon, a utility room, and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen opens onto an expansive wraparound terrace, offering multiple outdoor sitting areas with breathtaking country and sea views. Wide glazed doors from each room flood the interior with natural light and allow seamless indoor-outdoor living. The property is further enhanced by a double garage adjacent to the main house.

There is an approved project for extending this level, with detailed plans and 3D architectural renderings available on request. The garden in front of the villa includes two well-maintained lawned areas, young fruit trees, a natural stone retaining walls, and a large greenhouse with an integrated irrigation system.

Additional amenities include electric entrance gates with newly fitted motors, a fully retiled swimming pool with a renewed filtration system, and a 16-section automatic irrigation system that can be controlled via mobile phone. The property also benefits from a borehole with a new pump, mains water connection, a fossa, and ample garden storage.

Expansion Potential
Beyond the existing house and gardens, further terraced garden areas are ready for development or landscaping. These can be accessed via separate gates from the approach road. The current owners have developed and received initial approval for a rural tourism expansion that would increase the built area to over 2000 sqm. These plans, including detailed designs and 3D visualizations, are available upon request. Alternatively, the land offers excellent potential for additional gardens or outdoor leisure areas, thanks to the extensive existing irrigation infrastructure and multi-level layout.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful family retreat, an investment in rural tourism, or simply a lifestyle upgrade, this property delivers on all fronts. It truly needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
