Algarve, São Brás de Alportel, Portugal

Nestled in the beautiful Algarve countryside in a tranquil position and yet just a short drive to the popular town of Sao Bras de Alportel this very well presented villa sits in a fully enclosed plot with electric gates, a beautiful and mature planting scheme to the garden with terraced beds and a spacious swimming pool terrace with heated salt water pool which is 10 x 4 m and a depth of 1.5 m to 2 m.

Electric gates open onto a handsome calcada driveway that draws you towards the house, flanked by a beautifully planted garden with mature trees and shrubs and terraced beds that bring structure and colour to this enclosed plot. The garden benefits from a full automated watering system. In addition to the very useful integrated garage, there is ample additional parking. Steps lead to a patio terrace: the ideal place to enjoy alfreso dining: this in turn leads up to the spacious swimming pool terrace with covered dining area.

The open-plan living space is light and bright, enjoying views across the valley, with working fire place to the sitting room area, a fully fitted kitchen and conservatory dining area. The master bedroom with en-suite bathroom enjoys sliding doors out to a private terrace. Two further double bedrooms share a shower room. Guest cloakroom with plumbing for washing machine.

Below the main living area of the house is the garage and a further independent room with en-suite facilities including shower, wash hand basin and wc: an ideal home work space, gym or additional guest space. Exterior stairs to the house lead to a roof terrace and into the attic with good storage space. The property benefits from solar.

The garden of this property has one of the most exquisite planting schemes. Amongst structured terraces with a planting scheme that boasts of such an array of mature trees and shrubs you will find not just mature palm trees but a wonderful olive tree that is over 200 years old. Beyond the terraces there are many special areas to sit and simply enjoy your surroundings or for activity, enjoy the Petanque/boules court.

For those enjoying the countryside and yet close to a bustling town, this property is a must to view. Faro International Airport and the Algarve Coast are within a 30 minute drive. For anyone looking for a wonderful base from which to enjoy walks/hikes into the Serra and also cycle rides, then this is most definitely the home for you.
