Schönes Luxushaus In São Brás De Alportel, Corotelo

There are properties that offer a beautiful home, and then there are properties that offer the opportunity to create something truly exceptional.

Set in a peaceful countryside location, this private and fully enclosed property combines an attractive four-bedroom villa, a charming independent guest cottage and an approved project, with a building licence already in place, offering the opportunity to transform the property into an outstanding contemporary country retreat.

Approached through electric gates, the enclosed grounds provide the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living in complete privacy, surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of the Algarve countryside, while the elevated position allows the property to take full advantage of its far-reaching countryside and distant ocean views.

The main house offers spacious living and has been designed around generous, sociable living areas. A large garage provides ample parking and useful storage, with internal stairs leading directly into the house.

From here, a generous entrance hall opens into an impressive open-plan living space, creating a wonderful sense of volume and natural light. The fully fitted kitchen is arranged in a practical galley style with a bar-style counter, opening naturally into the dining area and comfortable sitting room. Two enclosed fireplaces add character and warmth, while large sliding glass doors open onto a shaded south-facing veranda.

This covered outdoor area is perfectly positioned for long lunches, evening drinks and relaxed Algarve living, with the countryside and distant views providing a constantly changing backdrop.

The accommodation currently comprises three generous double bedrooms and a good-sized single fourth bedroom. The larger bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and sliding doors opening directly onto the garden, while the fourth bedroom offers flexibility for family, guests or use as a home office. A family bathroom and separate utility room complete the main house.

A Charming Guest Cottage: Set apart from the main house is a delightful independent guest cottage, providing an ideal space for family and friends while retaining privacy for everyone an enjoying its own veranda. Benefiting from an open-plan living area with fitted kitchen, a bedroom with mezzanine level and a separate bathroom. It provides a flexible independent space for visiting family and friends.

The Exciting Future: What makes this property particularly interesting is that a vision for its future has already been approved.

An approved project with a building licence is in place to substantially enhance and extend the existing property. Rather than beginning the lengthy process of designing and obtaining approval from scratch, the new owner has the opportunity to take forward an already-approved concept.

The plans envisage a spectacular south-facing outdoor living area centred around a new infinity swimming pool and extended terraces, creating a much stronger connection between the main house, guest cottage and surrounding landscape.

The proposed design has the potential to transform the property into a wonderful entertaining environment, where indoor and outdoor spaces flow naturally together.

The project also incorporates a roof terrace, designed to make the very most of the property’s elevated position and its sweeping countryside and distant ocean views.

Beneath the proposed terrace, the approved plans incorporate a substantial garage/store area, providing a significant amount of additional covered space within the overall design and adding another interesting dimension to the property.

The result could be a remarkable Algarve home, combining the character and practicality of the existing villa with a much more contemporary and expansive outdoor lifestyle.

Ready to Enjoy Now and Ready to Create More Tomorrow: Importantly, this is not simply a project waiting to be realised. The existing property is already a comfortable and highly usable home.

An above-ground swimming pool is currently positioned on a private rear terrace, creating a lovely area for relaxing and entertaining.

The property also benefits from solar panels for electricity production, a separate solar hot-water system, double glazing and recently fitted Bosch air-conditioning units throughout, providing a good level of modern comfort.

For the buyer looking for something beyond a standard Algarve villa, this property offers an unusually compelling combination: a private countryside setting, a spacious family home, an independent guest cottage, far-reaching countryside and ocean views, an existing pool and outdoor living areas, together with an approved project and building licence already in place to create something considerably more impressive.
