Attraente Casa DI Campagna Con Piscina E Viste Fantastiche

Located just a short stroll from a village and surrounded by pretty countryside, this secluded 3-bedroom home boasts 360º views from the upper living area, as well as a sparkling pool and low maintenance garden.

The driveway leads to a gravel parking area and double carport. Steps lead up to a lovely front terrace and a covered porch area. The front door opens to a spacious open-plan living room with vaulted ceilings, which is on the upper level to take advantage of the amazing views in all directions.  There is a wood-burning fireplace for cosy winter evenings, and air-conditioning to heat and cool. Next to the lounge is a dining area with glass doors to another terrace which runs the length of the house. 

On the terrace a pergola provides a lovely shady area to relax and enjoy the views, and there is a built-in BBQ - ideal for summer evenings. Steps from the terrace lead down to the garden, which features a wide variety of Mediterranean plants and fruit trees (lemon, pomegranate, carob, olive, grape and nespera to name a few).  Pathways wind past natural stone walls and mature trees and shrubs to the lovely pool area with deck and pergola. There is plenty of space to relax and soak up the sun, as well as another BBQ for pool-side meals.

Back inside, next to the dining area, is a well-equipped, sunny kitchen with a breakfast counter and granite work-tops. It features a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher and 2 fridges. A picture window over the sink provides lovely views of the terraced garden and nearby old windmill.

Next to the lounge is a spacious nook, currently used as a home office, and adjacent to here is a guest toilet and laundry room.

Stairs lead down to the bedroom level.  A spacious hallway leads to the 3 bedrooms and is a great space for a reading nook, or even a pull-out couch for extra guests.  Two bedrooms boast en-suite bathrooms (both with shower cubicles and one also with a bath), as well as patio doors to a covered terrace with lovely views over the gardens, and just a short stroll to the pool. The third bedroom has a window to the garden and built-in wardrobes. There is a family bathroom on this level with a shower cubicle.

This lovely home benefits from photovoltaic panels to generate electricity as well as a heat exchanger for hot water, keeping your electricity bills low.  Conveniently located on the edge of a village, it is only a short 500m walk to a café, and yet the property is very private.  

The medieval town of Silves with its castle and riverfront area is about 10 minutes by car, as is the market town of SB de Messines, each with cafés, restaurants and supermarkets.  Golf courses are about 20 minutes away, and beaches are only 16km.  Three international schools (German, Dutch and English-language) are within a 15-30 minute drive, and Faro airport is only 46 minutes by motorway.
