Property With Three Dwellings, Heated Pool And Sauna, On A 10,000 M² Plot

Set on a plot of approximately 10,000 m² with a predominantly south-facing aspect, this property sits at the end of a no-through road in a quiet village with little traffic, offering privacy and shelter from the north. It comprises three dwellings, surrounded by a garden of great botanical diversity, where trees, fruit trees and ornamental plants grow side by side.

Main house (2 bedrooms + 1)
Built in 2009 on the site of an old building that was fully demolished, it has 60 cm thick walls, which provide high thermal inertia. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with an oak wardrobe, a dining area with an oak counter and dining table made to measure, a fitted kitchen, laundry room, pantry and full bathroom. The living room has a pellet stove and connects to a study/library clad in natural stone, which can be converted into a third bedroom. The upper floor houses two en suite bedrooms with air conditioning. Worth highlighting is the covered terrace, with a fireplace featuring cast iron doors from the 1920s. PVC windows with double glazing, and hot water supplied by two solar cylinders.

One-bedroom house (80 m²)
Designed as an open-plan space, it combines a fitted kitchen, dining room and living room, together with a pantry, guest toilet and full bathroom. The bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a movable partition that allows the space to be adapted. It is built in concrete, with the floor and some walls lined in cork, which enhances thermal and acoustic insulation. It has an electric awning with a wind sensor and can be integrated into the main house. Both dwellings are served by an underground technical corridor.

Studio
Located in the lower part of the garden, in the shade of the olive trees. Built in natural stone, it has a fully glazed façade and microcement and stone finishes. In an open-plan layout, it combines a kitchen, living area and sleeping area, with a Moroccan-inspired bathroom. The green roof, planted with wild grass, enhances thermal and acoustic insulation.

Outdoor and leisure areas
The pool, approximately 10 x 6 m, features salt electrolysis treatment, heating and a counter-current swimming system, and is served by a toilet, shower and plant room. Next to the pool, with direct access to the terrace, the gym has a changing room and an electric awning. The sauna, for four to six people, has a panoramic window, shower and its own terrace. Close to the dwellings is a barbecue area with masonry counters, a gas cooker and a porch. Between this area and the houses lies an ornamental pond of approximately 50 m³. The garden is also dotted with several terraces in Portuguese cobblestone and Santa Catarina terracotta tiles, alternating shaded areas with a secluded sun terrace.

Infrastructure
Approximately 25 photovoltaic panels with storage batteries. Water supply from a 170 m deep artesian borehole, with a filtration system and distribution through independent water tanks for each dwelling. Automatic irrigation, sensor lighting and several power outlets in the garden. Mosquito screens on all windows. Access via two automatic gates, plus a separate gate to the garden.

Location
The property is located in Paderne, in the municipality of Albufeira, in a quiet rural area of the Algarve barrocal, about 3 km from the village centre. Paderne retains the character of a traditional village, with local shops, restaurants and its Almohad castle, one of the historic landmarks of the region. The nearby A22 and A2 motorway junctions provide easy access to the whole Algarve coast. The beaches and centre of Albufeira are about 15 minutes away, Vilamoura about 20 minutes and Faro International Airport about 30 minutes. Lisbon is approximately 2h30 away via the A2.
