Algarve, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Portugal

Perched in an elevated position just outside the charming village of Santa Bárbara de Nexe, this south-facing, spacious, and characterful villa enjoys breathtaking views across the countryside to the ocean. Offering peace, privacy, and a superb layout, it’s the perfect Algarve retreat.

Set within a fully fenced plot, electric gates open to a sweeping calcada driveway leading to a garage, carport, and ample parking. The beautifully landscaped gardens feature mature trees and a well-chosen selection of drought-tolerant plants, creating a lush yet low-maintenance haven.

Entering through the front door, a welcoming hallway with a guest cloakroom leads into a bright and spacious living area. This elegant room, complete with a fireplace and panoramic ocean views, flows naturally into the well-fitted and fully equipped kitchen. From the living room, doors open to a covered terrace and a lovely outdoor seating area — the ideal spot to enjoy both sunrise and sunset.

Steps lead down to the swimming pool and expansive terrace, offering yet another peaceful area for relaxation and entertaining, enjoying the ocean view yet shaded by the canopy of mature trees for a true sense of serenity.
On the main level, the master suite is exceptionally spacious, featuring a newly refurbished bathroom and sliding doors opening directly onto the terrace. A sweeping staircase rises to the second double bedroom, also with a refurbished bathroom and private balcony, both enjoying the spectacular views.

A useful utility room is conveniently located near the entrance, while a standalone, fully insulated wooden studio — complete with air conditioning and currently used as a music room — offers endless possibilities for work, hobbies, or relaxation.
The property also includes a self-contained, spacious apartment with a separate kitchen, lovely en suite shower room, and private terrace — perfect for guests, family, or potential rental income.

On the upper level of the garden, you’ll find a bank of solar panels, enhancing the home’s energy efficiency.

This charming and well-maintained villa combines modern comfort, traditional character, and natural beauty — offering an idyllic Algarve lifestyle just minutes from the heart of Santa Bárbara de Nexe and a short drive to the Algarve coast, Faro International Airport, Loule, Almancil and Sao Bras de Alportel.
