Algarve, Paderne, Portugal

Full of charm and character is this bright and spacious 5 bedroom Quinta with separate cottage, nestling in 5.75 acres of glorious land with pool and gardens, enjoying far reaching countryside views from its peaceful location near Paderne.

This delightful property was lovingly rebuilt by the current owners, who transformed an old ruin in 1998 into a delightful family retreat. Every corner of this home reflects taste and care, creating a warm space where one can gather regularly in this serene and sunlit haven.

The facade of the house is inviting, and the inside charming. Terraces, shaded by mature trees and paved with traditional Portuguese "calada" tiles, wrap around the house, offering ideal spots for relaxation.

The interior features a cosy study, a spacious living room with a grand fireplace, and a hallway that leads to the ground floor bedrooms and the first floor master bedroom. The rustic kitchen, equipped with a wood burner, also has an area which is used as a pantry room and as a utility room.

Beyond the kitchen, is a welcoming dining room. The ground floor also includes one en suite bedroom and 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom, while a large covered courtyard provides versatile space that can be transformed to suit your needs.

In addition, there's a quaint rustic cottage on the property, offering a bedroom, bathroom, and walk in wardrobe, perfect for guests or as a private retreat.

The highlight of the outdoor space is the unique half-moon-shaped swimming pool, complete with a barbecue area, perfect for entertaining.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this Quinta is its airy, bright atmosphere and the abundance of space. There are some rooms with air conditioning and there is also central heating throughout the house although a new boiler/heatpump needs to be installed.

The property benefits also of a borehole with a cisterna but there is the mains water and the mains sewage at the street, which can be connected. There are also solar panels for hot water.

While the property could use some updates, it's a wonderful opportunity for those looking to add their personal touch.

With a sprawling 2.5-hectare agricultural plot, this estate offers incredible potential for investors seeking a peaceful yet vibrant home in the heart of the Algarve.
