Algarve, Monchique, Portugal

Exceptional lakeside 4 bedroom property in Monchique - the perfect retreat!
Positioned in one of the Western Algarve's most spectacular natural landscapes, this exceptional lakeside estate enjoys a privileged setting on the shores of the Barragem da Bravura. Surrounded by rolling countryside, untouched nature, and complete tranquillity, it offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a private waterfront retreat in one of the region's most peaceful locations.

Occupying an impressive plot of over 4.5 hectares, the estate is truly unique, with approximately 50% of its boundaries directly bordering the Barragem da Bravura. This remarkable setting provides uninterrupted panoramic views across the water and surrounding hills, while the absence of nearby neighbours guarantees outstanding privacy and an unrivalled connection with nature.
The property comprises almost 400m² of built area, offering generous living accommodation with enormous scope for enhancement. Rich in traditional Algarvean character, the villa features impressive vaulted ceilings, spacious reception areas, abundant natural light, and multiple terraces designed to embrace the breathtaking scenery. It presents the perfect canvas for creating an extraordinary permanent residence, luxury countryside escape, or bespoke lifestyle property.
Complementing the main residence is a fully legalised wooden cabin, providing versatile additional agricultural support, studio or creative atelier.
The estate combines its exceptional location with practical infrastructure, including a productive borehole providing a reliable private water supply, mature landscaping, covered parking, and extensive outdoor spaces designed to maximise the property's unique lakeside setting. Importantly, the entire property was fully legalised in 2015, offering peace of mind for future owners.

Despite its remarkable seclusion, the property remains conveniently connected, lying approximately 20 minutes from Portimão, while the historic town of Lagos, championship golf courses, and the Algarve's renowned beaches are all within easy reach.
