Algarve, Vila do Bispo, Portugal

This new property was built in 2012 (energy efficiency rating "B") and extensively redesigned and modernized by the current owners in 2019,
meeting the highest standards while retaining the character of a typical village house. The house is suitable for both "lock and go" and year-round living.

The Casa da Bica is located in the heart of the village of Figueira on a small square in an extremely quiet location (no traffic!) and has two spacious
bedrooms on the ground floor, each with large built-in wardrobes, plenty of storage space, and a bathroom with a modern glass shower, sunken bathtub,
toilet, bidet, sink, and heated towel rail. On the first floor is the loft-like living area with high wooden ceilings and a fully equipped kitchen (washing machine,
dishwasher - new! -, gas boiler - new! -, oven, gas stove - new! - with extractor hood, microwave, refrigerator, separate freezer).

A bright dining area adjoins a floor-to-ceiling window. Next is the living area, whose floor-to-ceiling sliding doors can be fully opened and incorporate the covered
terrace into the living area, giving the entire upper floor an open-air feel. For cool winter evenings, there is not only a wood-burning stove but also the new owners
have retrofitted electric heating in all rooms. New ceiling fans have been installed in all living rooms and bedrooms for summer temperatures. Thanks to the house´s
intelligent orientation and excellent insulation, it always remains cool, so air conditioning is not necessary. The terrace is protected from all weather influences (wind, rain).
The entire lighting system was redesigned by the new owners according to their requirements.

The property is being sold fully furnished and equipped, except for a few personal items. It has an AL landlord´s license, which the sellers have not used, as they have
not rented the property and only used it sporadically. However, the house has been continuously looked after and maintained and is in excellent, almost new condition.

The building structure is of the highest quality, especially since the builder lives in the immediate vicinity. Internet access is available; fiber optics has been announced. The
village of Figueira is located in the protected area of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, in the immediate vicinity of the Algarve´s most beautiful sandy beaches, including
Praia da Luz. E.g., Praia da Figueira (within walking distance!), Praia de Salema (also within walking distance), Praia das Furnas, Boca do Rio, Praia do Beliche, to name
just a few. There are three restaurants, a bakery, and a minimarket in the village. In recent years, many expats (English, Americans, Spanish, Belgians, French, and Germans)
have settled here, who, together with the very friendly Portuguese residents, create a somewhat international flair.

Three large supermarkets (Lidl, Aldi, and Intermarche) are just a few minutes away. The fishing village of Salema is five minutes away. It has a lively beach scene. There are
many good restaurants and bars. Figueira also offers a wide range of sporting opportunities, especially water sports, hiking (the famous Fisherman´s Trail runs right past!),
cycling, horseback riding, paragliding, etc. The nearest largest town is Lagos. Countless shops, restaurants, beaches, and the spectacular marina (20 minutes away).

The nearest airport is Faro (1 hour away). Don´t hesitate to view this fantastic property. What you see is what you get!
