Algarve, Silves, Portugal

Wake up to birdsong, morning light spilling across orange groves, and the quiet luxury of space all around you. Hidden in the peaceful countryside just outside Silves, this is a home designed for a slower, more beautiful way of living — where long lunches stretch beneath the pergola and every sunset feels private.

The true luxury here is the land. Set within 16,690 m² of mostly flat rustic terrain, surrounded by orange groves and open countryside, the property offers an increasingly rare sense of freedom and privacy in the Algarve. Whether left as a tranquil natural retreat or shaped into something more ambitious, the scale and setting are exceptional.

At the heart of the estate is a beautifully renovated 3+1 bedroom Algarvian villa, fully modernised between 2012 and 2019. Offering 215m² of construction area, the home blends contemporary comfort with original character. A bespoke traditional kitchen with Rangemaster and Siemens appliances opens onto a sunny terrace with open countryside views, while four en-suite bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe in the principal suite, living room with library and countryside views, office space, laundry room, triple-glazed windows, solar panels and Mitsubishi central air conditioning provide effortless year-round living. The property is sold fully furnished. Energy rating A.

Outside, landscaped gardens with water feature/plunge pool, a pergola dining area, BBQ terrace and private borehole complete the lifestyle offering. Despite its peaceful setting, the villa is only 5 minutes from the historic town of Silves with its shops, cafes, restaurants, Silves Castle, schools, public swimming pool and sports facilities and everyday amenities, with international schools within 15 minutes (British, Dutch, German), beaches and golf courses just 15-20 minutes away, and Faro Airport reachable in 50 minutes.

With 1.6 hectares of flat usable land, the possibilities are wide open — equestrian use, agriculture, a boutique vineyard, or simply an extraordinary private sanctuary in the Algarve countryside. A rare blank canvas with both immediate comfort and long-term potential.
