Marmelete, Algarve, Portugal

Stylish Contemporary Single Storey Villa with Orchard, Privacy & Nature | Monchique

Between the serenity of nature and the proximity to the Algarve coast, this extraordinary property offers a rare lifestyle, where contemporary architecture blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.

Located next to the quiet village of Marmelete, on the slopes of the Serra de Monchique, this villa, completed in 2019, is set on a plot of approximately 10,200 m², surrounded by an orchard, garden, abundant water resources and unobstructed views over the countryside. A place where silence, privacy and nature define everyday life, without giving up proximity to the main urban centres of the Algarve.

In just about 20 minutes it is possible to reach the historic centre and the beaches of Lagos, while Portimão is approximately 15 minutes away, offering a perfect combination of rural tranquillity and convenience.

With about 240 m² of built area, this single storey house favours natural light, the functionality of the spaces and the permanent connection to the outside.

The heart of the house is a large social area in an open space concept, where the living and dining room come together harmoniously with a modern fully equipped kitchen. The wood-burning fireplace adds comfort in the cooler months, while the air conditioning ensures well-being all year round.

Next to the entrance there is a laundry room with a technical area, equipped with central vacuum, water heater and solar system for water heating, as well as a hall with storage spaces.

The transition between the interior and exterior was carefully thought out. A large covered area is prepared to receive a second kitchen or kitchen to support the outdoor space, ideal for outdoor dining, leisure time or to enjoy the natural surroundings for much of the year.

The private wing of the house consists of two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and direct access to the terrace, served by a spacious bathroom adapted for people with reduced mobility.

The master suite provides an environment of comfort and privacy, with a private bathroom, walk-in closet and direct access to the terrace, allowing you to wake up daily with views over the surrounding landscape.

Complementing the main residence, there is an independent annex divided into three distinct spaces: a gymnasium, a multifunctional garage/storage room and a technical room equipped with a modern magnesium water filtration and treatment system, which ensures the purification of water from the well and borehole for domestic use, including human consumption.

Outside, the land reveals all the richness of the property. A pleasant garden mixes with a diversified orchard composed of mango, guava, orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, fig, pomegranate, apricot and palm trees, creating a green and productive environment throughout the year.

The property also has a seasonal stream, a traditional well and a borehole about 200 meters deep, ensuring excellent water autonomy. The entire property benefits from water and electricity points distributed throughout the land, as well as pre-installation for an outdoor jacuzzi.

Built with high standards of quality and energy efficiency (Class A), the villa is equipped with aluminium frames with double glazing, electric shutters, air conditioning in all rooms, solar panels for water heating, central vacuum, alarm system, five video surveillance cameras (CCTV), charger for electric vehicles and covered parking for two cars.

A truly unique property, ideal for permanent residence, second home or for those looking for a quieter lifestyle, where nature, contemporary comfort and proximity to the Algarve coast coexist in perfect harmony.
