Algarve, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Portugal

This is truly a unique and exceptional property, offering something that is increasingly difficult to find: absolute peace, privacy, and a genuine sense of connection with nature. The house enjoys a wonderfully secluded position, with no overlooking neighbours, allowing you to feel completely private and at ease. From the property, there is a magnificent and uninterrupted sea view stretching between two beautiful valleys.

The house itself has been thoughtfully designed and built to a very high standard. It is a timber-frame construction combined with beautiful exterior stonework, high-quality double glazing, and carefully chosen materials throughout. It is a warm, comfortable, and genuinely healthy home, with excellent insulation and no problems with humidity. There is a wonderful sense of natural comfort as soon as you enter the house.

The property is also remarkably ecological and energy efficient. Fourteen photovoltaic panels provide approximately 8 kW of solar power, while a large heat pump operates the integrated heating and cooling system throughout the house. The same highly efficient system also provides the hot water.

The main house is arranged entirely on one floor, making it exceptionally comfortable and easy to live in. There are four en-suite bedrooms in total, including a separate annex situated close to the main house, which is ideal for welcoming friends or family while still giving them their own private space. The total built area is approximately 310 m². In addition, there is around 200 m² of space on the attic that is currently unused, offering enormous potential for the future. It could easily be transformed into a gym, cinema room, additional bedrooms, a games room, or simply kept as generous storage and leisure space.
The main living area is beautifully arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, a guest cloakroom, a spacious living room, dining area, and an open-plan kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with a Nexus induction hob and two ovens, together with a grill and everything needed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining.
One of the most special features of the house is the huge covered south-facing terrace. It is a wonderful place to sit, dine, read, or simply enjoy a quiet moment while looking across the garden towards the sea.

The four en-suite bedrooms provide excellent privacy and comfort. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and a beautiful bathroom with both a bath and a shower, while the other three bedrooms each have their own shower room. The separate annex provides an additional private bedroom suite for guests or family members. It also has its own air-conditioning unit, independent from the main heating and cooling system. Throughout the house, beautiful solid wooden floors add warmth and character.

Outside, the property becomes even more extraordinary. There is a magnificent 60 m² saltwater swimming pool, measuring approximately 12 by 5 metres, with a recently renewed filtration system. The pool area offers another wonderful place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The garden is perhaps one of the property's greatest treasures. It is home to magnificent trees, some of which are more than 400 years old, creating an atmosphere that is difficult to describe and even harder to reproduce. There are also mature fruit trees. The land has extensive stone terracing resulting it being remarkably flat, which is an exceptional advantage for a property of this character and location.

There are two entrances to the property. At the highest point of the garden is a charming independent cottage, which is not currently shown on the official plans. The property is fully fenced . The current owner even produces their own olive oil from the property's olive trees, with an annual production of approximately 40 litres.

It is a place where privacy, nature, comfort, , sustainability, and extraordinary views come together.
