Algarve, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Portugal

A unique, carefully restored property where the charm of Algarve tradition meets contemporary comfort.
Situated in an elevated and privileged position in the hills of Bordeira, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, this charming single-storey country house stands on private grounds of almost 11,000 m², offering breathtaking views over the countryside and the sea.

Once a derelict ruin, the property has undergone a complete and meticulous renovation, preserving the soul and authenticity of the original building whilst incorporating all the amenities required by the modern lifestyle.
Its long white façade, delicate stucco work, traditional blue Algarve shutters and tiled roof lend the house a timeless character and a truly unique charm.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a cosy hall lined with traditional wallpaper, which immediately evokes the authentic atmosphere of an old country house.
The heart of the property is a spacious open-plan area comprising the living room, dining room and kitchen, characterised by its impressive double-height ceiling and white-painted wooden beams.
The bespoke kitchen, finished in an elegant pastel yellow, combines functionality with style and is fully equipped with a Silestone worktop, a Bora induction hob, a Gaggenau oven and microwave, and an LG American-style fridge.

The prime location means that the blue of the sea on the horizon can be enjoyed from inside the house and from virtually every room.
With a spacious floor area of 166 m², the villa features three bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, complemented by a guest bathroom.
The master suite also benefits from a spacious walk-in wardrobe, whilst the other bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes.
Comfort is assured all year round thanks to the central ducted air conditioning, fitted in both the bedrooms and the living areas, as well as the double-glazed aluminium windows and shutters.

Outside, a spacious south-facing terrace runs the full length of the house, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the Algarve climate and the unobstructed views of the countryside.
This outdoor area features a barbecue area, a dining space shaded by a pergola, a sun lounger area and a charming plunge pool clad in travertine stone, built from the property’s old cistern — a detail that combines history, authenticity and design in an exceptional way.

This is one of those properties that really sticks in the memory.
A characterful retreat, where traditional Algarve architecture has been sensitively preserved and complemented by contemporary comfort and facilities.
Surrounded by nature, yet just a few minutes’ drive from all amenities and major urban centres, it offers a rare combination of privacy, quality of life, views, authenticity and accessibility.
The property is sold fully furnished, ready to move into or to generate rental income!

An excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a special home in the Algarve and, at the same time, a sound investment in an area in high demand, driven by the quality of life, tranquillity and proximity to Faro and the whole of the Algarve region.
