Algarve, São Brás de Alportel, Portugal

Premium real estate opportunity in Southern Portugal with breathtaking views, nestled on a hillside just 4 km northeast of the historic bustling town of Sao Bras de Alportel and right on the edge of the Serra do Caldeira

This spacious 5-bedroom villa, currently under construction, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy a state-of-the-art house set in a quiet location and yet just minutes from excellent amenities. With the option to purchase the property at the early stage of foundation plate complete and garage framework complete, a buyer could then proceed, taking over the build to finish it to their own requirements or the property is for sale on a turn-key basis.

The design of the villa gives a wonderful mix of traditional Quinta features with a modern twist, with the emphasis also on ensuring that the wonderful view of the lake in the valley is enjoyed from as many rooms as possible, with the master suite (with private terrace), open plan living area, and all 4 guest bedrooms leading onto south-facing terraces. One of the guest bedrooms has been designed as a family room, allowing for separate sleeping areas.

Through the front door, you will walk into the open plan living space, which enjoys a vaulted 5 m high ceiling and a full expanse of bi-fold doors at the front leading onto the main South-facing terrace. The whole area, 127 m2 in total, offers plenty of space for entertaining but also for everyday living, and steps lead down into a cozier snug area. The open-plan kitchen area leads to a separate pantry/laundry room tucked behind. A guest cloakroom is conveniently positioned by the front door.

The master bedroom suite is set away from all the other bedrooms and enjoys double aspect windows overlooking the lake and onto a private terrace. Not only will this room benefit from a large dressing area, which extends further into what could be used as a private office, and also enjoys a window with a view of the lake, but the master bathroom has been designed to offer the height of luxury, and again, lie back in the bathroom and enjoy the view of the lake.

The swimming pool, surrounding terrace with BBQ area and pool house with dining, kitchen and bathroom facilities, are set away from the house to allow for a wonderful separate entertaining area. The garage and technical room (hidden into the hill behind the villa) is 70 m2.

Whilst the villa will enjoy an expanse of south-facing terracing and also a covered carport to the front door (to park under when it rains), and north-facing terracing, the whole “swimming pool” area has been set away from the house. Another wonderful place for entertainment and relaxation, but also to allow for different areas.

The house, pool, garage and terraces, as per the approved plans total 580 m2 but there is the option to further extend up to 2000 m2 under Rural Tourism

This tranquil location benefits from views and access to a picturesque lake. While the lake is public and to be used by everyone, it is rarely frequented other than by local friendly fishermen. With the clearest night skies, this valley is a stargazer's paradise. The borehole benefits from a Grundfos solar pump.

The main structure of the house will be LSF construction and built by a local respected builder and this benefits from the most thermally and acoustically efficient build standard ensuring the villa will be cool in summer and warm in winter.

It would be possible to move the location of the pool to beside the villa as part of the process
