Algarve, Boliqueime, Portugal

Set in an elevated position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the countryside of Boliqueime, this distinctive three-bedroom villa enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. Its south-east-facing outlook captures the morning light, while the peaceful setting offers a welcome contrast to the lively coastal resorts of Vilamoura, just a short drive away.

Originally built in 1998, the villa has an architectural character of its own, with a thoughtful design that follows the natural contours of the hillside. The interior unfolds across a series of gently changing levels, creating an interesting flow between the living spaces while making the most of the natural light and countryside views.

At the heart of the home is a generous living room, where an expansive bay window frames the landscape beyond and brings a wonderful sense of openness to the interior. A few steps lead to the contemporary bespoke kitchen, designed with both practicality and entertaining in mind. The accommodation continues to a more private area of the house, comprising three bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, with modern bathrooms and carefully considered finishes.

The property has undergone significant renovations in 2012 and 2022, bringing a contemporary level of comfort to its original architecture. Improvements include the kitchen, bathrooms, heating and electrical systems, together with double-glazed windows and exterior thermal insulation, contributing to improved energy efficiency and low running costs throughout the year. High-speed fibre optic internet adds the convenience of modern connectivity to this peaceful rural setting.

Outside, the east-facing swimming pool terrace is particularly inviting in the morning sunshine, with open views across the countryside providing a beautiful backdrop. The landscaped gardens have been designed for easy maintenance, allowing more time to enjoy the surroundings, whether relaxing by the pool, dining outdoors or simply appreciating the tranquillity of the setting.

A 42 m² basement provides additional flexibility for storage, a gym or a leisure space, while the property also offers potential for future expansion to a total living area of up to 300 m², subject to confirmation of the applicable planning permissions.

One of the property's most appealing qualities is its position. Surrounded by land designated as non-buildable, the villa enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy and an open south-easterly outlook across the countryside. Yet, despite its secluded atmosphere, the restaurants, marina, beaches and golf courses of Vilamoura are approximately ten minutes away, with convenient access to the motorway and Faro International Airport.

It is this balance between architectural individuality, open countryside views and proximity to the coast that gives the property its particular appeal. A home where the quieter pace of the Algarve countryside can be enjoyed without feeling removed from everything the region has to offer.
