Description
In the timeless village of Cacela Velha, where whitewashed houses meet the turquoise horizon of the Ria Formosa and the Atlantic Ocean, stands a truly exceptional opportunity — one of the very few private homes in this protected coastal enclave.
Set within the historic heart of the village, this charming townhouse comes with a fully approved architectural project, blending authentic Algarvian character with contemporary comfort.
The approved refurbishment plan doubles the built area to approximately 190 m², featuring three en-suite bedrooms, expansive open-plan living and dining spaces, a Mediterranean walled garden, and 67 m² of roof terraces offering panoramic views over the village rooftops, the Ria Formosa lagoon, and the Atlantic Ocean.
This is not merely a renovation — it’s a revival of heritage.
Every architectural element pays tribute to Cacela Velha’s cultural identity while introducing modern functionality, energy efficiency (A/A+ certification anticipated), and serene outdoor living in complete privacy.
A hidden sanctuary with 121 m² of garden space, just moments from pristine beaches, fine dining, and the natural beauty of the Ria Formosa Natural Park — one of Portugal’s most photographed coastal landscapes.
An unrepeatable investment — a home that celebrates history, privacy, and timeless beauty in one of southern Europe’s most exclusive and preserved villages.
