Viewing and Registration: 27 September-26 October 2026

A time-limited opportunity to acquire Casa da Alfarrobeira through the IPK Way.

Unlike a conventional listing with a fixed price and open-ended marketing period, this property is offered within a single, defined timetable. Buyers may view the property, review the information and register before the Final Offer Period, when the purchase price is set through a transparent competitive process. The Comparable Market Range gives context for where the property sits in the current market. The Starting Offer is the initial price from which buyers may take part, not the property's market value or expected selling price. This opportunity closes on 29 October.

Four-bedroom country home with independent guest house, private pool and panoramic sea and countryside views.

Set in the hills around Santa Bárbara de Nexe, the property offers flexible accommodation and a peaceful rural setting near Faro and Loulé, on c. 5,120 m² of land planted with mature almond, olive, fig and carob trees, with open views towards the coast. Whitewashed walls, terracotta floors, timber doors and cane ceilings give the interiors an authentic character.

The main house offers c. 228 m² over two levels, with bright living areas opening onto terraces and an open kitchen connecting to the dining and living rooms. A wood-burning fireplace with heat recovery adds warmth, with air conditioning in selected rooms. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom with walk-in shower sit on the ground floor, alongside a guest cloakroom and laundry room. Upstairs, the principal suite has its own bathroom, air conditioning and coastal views, and a rooftop açoteia gives 360-degree views across the countryside and to sea.

A former agricultural building has been converted into independent guest accommodation, with an open-plan living and kitchen area, a wood-burning stove, a bathroom and doors onto the pool terrace, suiting guests or longer stays.

The private pool sits in an elevated position with open countryside views, alongside a sunbathing terrace, covered terraces, shaded dining areas and a barbecue. Additional terraces feature vine-covered pergolas and Mediterranean planting.

The property lies between Faro, Loulé and São Brás de Alportel, with a supermarket, pharmacy, cafés and restaurants in the village, and beaches, golf, Faro and the airport within reach: 15 minutes to Faro, golf and medical facilities, 20 minutes to the beaches and railway station, and 25 minutes to Faro Airport.
