Algarve, Lagoa, Portugal

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional Algarve estate combining authentic character, privacy, generous land and outstanding potential, just 5–10 minutes from Praia do Carvoeiro.

Set in Sesmarias, on the outskirts of Carvoeiro, this unique estate comprises of two properties sold together, offering a total area of approximately 27,760 m² (2.776 hectares). The estate combines a 20,560 m² rustic property with a 7,200 m² mixed property, creating an exceptional setting for a private residence, lifestyle retreat or carefully conceived tourism and luxury accommodation project. It benefits from two independent entrances and good access to a main street.

Its location is one of its greatest assets. Despite enjoying a peaceful and private rural setting, the estate is only a short drive from the beaches and coastline of Carvoeiro and Ferragudo, as well as golf courses, restaurants, international schools, sporting facilities and everyday amenities. It offers the increasingly sought-after combination of space and privacy without sacrificing accessibility.

The Main Quinta - In the 7,200 m² mixed property stands a charming and characterful traditional quinta, with approximately 270 m² of construction, distributed over a single level.
The main residence retains many of the features and proportions that give a traditional Algarve quinta its distinctive appeal. The accommodation includes:
3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, including 2 en suites, spacious lounge with an open fireplace, separate dining room, fully fitted kitchen, additional office/storage room, laundry room, garage and large terraces surrounding the swimming pool, and a traditional bread oven.

The connection with the generous outdoor area is central to the property. The covered terrace creates a natural and pleasant extension of the living space, providing numerous possibilities for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertainment around the swimming pool, which is surrounded by established vegetation and mature trees, that complement the estate’s peaceful setting and enhance the sense of privacy.

The quinta is sold partly furnished with original decorative elements that create a warm and characterful atmosphere and is equipped with air conditioning, double-glazed windows, solar panel for hot water, and electric entrance gates.

The property also benefits from two additional self-contained guest units, comprising of a one-bedroom studio and a two-bedroom cottage with its own swimming pool. These two guest buildings are not currently registered as legal residential accommodation and should therefore be considered separately from the legal main quinta.

Beyond its existing accommodation, this estate offers something increasingly difficult to find in the Algarve: scale, authenticity, privacy and the freedom to create a property with a truly individual identity.

The main quinta provides a wonderful architectural foundation for a sensitive restoration or upgrading project, allowing its traditional character to be preserved while introducing contemporary comfort, refined interiors and modern functionality.

For the buyer who values a prime location, architectural authenticity, and the possibility of personalizing a distinguished residence, this is an exceptional proposition.
For a private buyer - the estate could become an exceptional principal residence or Algarve retreat, with the space and flexibility to create additional suites, generous reception areas, a home office or library, private guest accommodation and beautifully landscaped gardens.

For an investor - the combination of location, land, existing buildings and character presents an intriguing opportunity to explore the creation of a boutique luxury accommodation concept, (subject of course to the necessary planning, licensing and municipal approvals), such as;
Potential for Tourism & Wellness - The size and nature of the estate lend themselves particularly well to concepts focused on experiential, rural and wellness tourism.
Depending on future planning and licensing possibilities, the property could potentially be developed around concepts such as:
• Boutique luxury accommodation
• Wellness and retreat tourism
• Agritourism and tourism connected to the land
• Gastronomic and culinary experiences
• Nature and contemplative retreats
• A private lifestyle estate with guest accommodation

The extensive rustic land provides an exceptional natural setting in which a future concept could incorporate landscaped gardens, relaxation areas, outdoor experiences, agricultural or gastronomic activities and other elements designed around the character of the Algarve countryside.

An Exceptional Location - Sesmarias offers the rare advantage of being close to some of the Algarve's most sought-after coastal destinations while retaining the tranquility and sense of space of the countryside.
The 2 iconic and picturesque fishing villages of Praia do Carvoeiro and Ferragudo are both approximately 5–10 minutes away by car, several restaurants, minimarket, shop are within walking distance. Golf courses, restaurants, international schools, sporting facilities, supermarkets and essential services are all conveniently accessible.

This combination of proximity, privacy and land makes the estate particularly compelling for buyers looking beyond a conventional villa and seeking something with greater scale, character and long-term potential.

A Rare Algarve Opportunity - This is much more than a traditional quinta. It is an opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of the Algarve and shape it according to a personal vision.

Whether conceived as an exclusive private residence, a family estate, a luxury retreat or a boutique tourism and wellness project, the property offers a rare combination of authenticity, space, location and potential.

Quintas of this scale and character, so close to the coast and to Carvoeiro, are increasingly difficult to find.
A truly singular opportunity for those who understand that the finest properties are not simply acquired — they are transformed into something exceptional.
