Algarve, Vale do Lobo, Portugal

Set in an exceptional and privileged position by the sea, this contemporary four-bedroom villa is defined by impressive sea views, privacy and beautifully considered indoor and outdoor living spaces. Less than a ten-minute walk from the beach, the property was constructed in 2016 by the well known architect Jutta Hoehn and builder Guedes Vidal.
From the entrance hall, the eye is immediately drawn through the villa towards the terrace, swimming pool and striking ocean views beyond, creating an impressive sense of arrival from the moment you enter. The main living spaces include a spacious lounge and dining area alongside a separate TV lounge with a fireplace, with internal glass pocket doors connecting the living spaces. The fully fitted kitchen with breakfast bar connects to a separate utility room and directly to a covered outdoor dining area with a built-in gas BBQ and fireplace, creating an excellent setting for year-round entertaining.
The outdoor areas are a particular highlight, centred around a heated saltwater swimming pool with a cover and adjoining jacuzzi. Generous terraces provide both covered and open areas for dining and relaxing, with the sea providing an impressive backdrop.
A spacious en-suite bedroom is positioned on the ground floor, with a generous bathroom featuring both a bath and shower. Upstairs are three further en-suite bedrooms, including the principal suite with a dressing area, private lounge space and a large en-suite bathroom. A substantial terrace extends across the width of the villa, taking full advantage of the impressive sea views.
Underfloor heating throughout, ducted air conditioning, a Sonos sound system serving the ground floor and principal bedroom, mosquito screens and extensive storage add to the comfort of the property. A large single garage and in-and-out driveway provide further practicality. 
With the ocean forming a remarkable backdrop and the beach within walking distance, this is an exceptional coastal home where its privileged setting, privacy and sea views are every bit as impressive as the villa itself.
