Designed by renowned architect Vasco Vieira and built by Nabais & Rexrodt, this striking contemporary villa combines distinctive architecture, sophisticated interiors and impressive sea views. Arranged over four levels, the property features an inverted layout that makes the most of its elevated position, with expansive glazing, high ceilings and a carefully considered combination of slate, glass and contemporary finishes throughout.
The main living level is accessed via a few steps from the entrance and features a spacious open-plan living and dining area, with impressive ceiling heights and a dedicated space currently used as a home office. A striking double-sided fireplace, set within a feature stone wall, is visible from both the interior and the swimming pool. The fully equipped kitchen, fitted with Miele appliances and a central island, opens onto a terrace with a BBQ and outdoor seating area, enjoying sea views and providing direct access down to the swimming pool.
The level below accommodates three generously proportioned bedroom suites, each with direct access to the poolside terrace. The principal suite features an extensive dressing area and a spacious en-suite bathroom with bathtub, while a distinctive window positioned at pool water level creates a unique visual connection between the bedroom and the swimming pool.
The lower level is dedicated to leisure, wellness and practical facilities, including a cinema room, games room, gym, sauna, steam room and shower facilities. A separate two-bedroom guest apartment with its own external entrance and a dedicated coffee bar provides additional privacy and convenience for visiting family and friends. This level also includes a spacious laundry room with Miele appliances, technical and storage areas, and a two-car garage, complemented by further parking on the driveway.
The rooftop terrace is a particular highlight, with a split-level design, Jacuzzi, shaded seating areas and far-reaching sea views. Offering an exceptional setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining, it provides a different perspective of the surrounding landscape and coastline.
The property is equipped with a comprehensive Control4 home automation system, allowing remote management of various household functions, alongside electric blinds and curtains, an extensive camera surveillance system and IBC security.
