Algarve, Praia da Luz, Portugal

Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Cama da Vaca, between Burgau and Praia da Luz, this exceptional rustic-chic estate offers one of the Algarve’s most privileged oceanfront settings. Set within 3.3 hectares (7.5 acres) of beautifully landscaped grounds stretching almost to the sea, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic coastal views, complete privacy and a rare sense of tranquillity.

The sea lies just 170 metres away as the crow flies, while winding paths through pine trees, palms and colourful gardens lead to peaceful corners designed for relaxation and contemplation. A dedicated Zen area provides the perfect setting for yoga, meditation or simply enjoying the magnificent surroundings.

The main villa blends authentic Algarve charm with generous family living. The entrance hall leads to three ground-floor bedrooms, two en suite, plus an additional bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious master suite features its own bathroom, sitting area and adjoining room ideal as a dressing room, nursery or private retreat. The upper floor overlooks the impressive lounge with built-in fireplace, while a second mezzanine-style space offers further potential and could easily be connected with a spiral staircase.

Living spaces are designed for both comfort and entertaining, including a separate dining room, fully equipped kitchen with breakfast snug and utility room. Traditional Santa Catarina floor tiles, exposed wooden beams and crisp whitewashed walls create timeless character, beautifully enhanced by hand-painted kitchen wall tiles adding warmth and personality.

Large doors open directly onto the spectacular pool terrace, where mature pine trees provide natural shade and uninterrupted sea views create an unforgettable backdrop. The elegant oval-shaped chlorine swimming pool (approximately 10 x 6 metres) benefits from a solar-heating circulation system, while the covered terrace with its marble dining table is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A tennis court further enhances the lifestyle appeal, although resurfacing with a porous surface would be required for future registration and legalisation.

Additional accommodation includes a charming studio apartment converted from the original garage, which remains registered as a garage and could easily be reverted if desired. A former barn has also been transformed into a delightful self-contained two-bedroom guest cottage with private terrace and spectacular rooftop sunset views. The cottage remains registered as a barn and is not included within the habitation licence.

The property is equipped for year-round living with air conditioning, central heating, mains water, solar panels for hot water and photovoltaic panels for electricity generation. Gas supplies both the cooker and heating system, while a deactivated borehole remains on the land.

Rarely do properties of this scale and privacy become available in such a prime coastal position. Located just 10 minutes from Lagos, close to beaches, golf courses, international schools, marina facilities and excellent restaurants, this is a truly unique Algarve lifestyle estate.
