Faro Farm

Set in the peaceful countryside closed to Santa Bárbara de Nexe, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of authentic Algarve character, privacy, generous land and contemporary comfort, while being just 8 minutes from Loulé.

Dating back to 1897, the original farmhouse has been thoughtfully integrated with a modern extension, creating a unique home where traditional Algarve architecture and contemporary living come together naturally.

Surrounded by approximately 2.5 hectares of land, the property enjoys a wonderfully private rural setting, with beautiful open views across the countryside, while remaining remarkably well connected to Loulé and the Central Algarve.

A Home Where Tradition Meets Contemporary Living
The original farmhouse and barn retain their distinctive character, including the beautiful traditional fireplace from the old barn, which now forms the centrepiece of a warm and inviting living room.
The historic buildings connect seamlessly with the contemporary extension, creating a spacious and versatile home with four generous bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.

The property also features:
A charming traditional living room centred around the original fireplace
A spacious modern living and dining room
A contemporary kitchen
A fitness and multi-purpose area
Four spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
A combination of single-level living and two-storey areas
Direct connection between the interior spaces, gardens and pool area

The layout has been designed to make the most of the property’s relationship with the outdoors. The original farmhouse and barn connect on the same level with the modern living spaces and open naturally towards the gardens and pool, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

| Outdoor Living at Its Best
The outdoor spaces are an important part of the property’s appeal.
The swimming pool and whirlpool area overlook the extensive grounds, creating a peaceful setting for relaxing and entertaining. An outdoor kitchen and barbecue area provides the perfect environment for long lunches, summer dinners and gatherings with family and friends.
The 2.5 hectares include fruit trees, traditional Portuguese cork oaks and medronheiros, creating an authentic rural landscape and a wonderful sense of space.
This is a property designed not simply to live in, but to enjoy — embracing the relaxed outdoor lifestyle that makes the Algarve so desirable.

| Excellent Potential for Rural Tourism
The property offers considerably more than a private country home.
It already comes with an Alojamento Local Rural licence for an additional house, creating the possibility of developing independent guest accommodation and generating an additional income stream.
The extensive land may also offer potential for further development related to rural tourism activities, subject to the relevant planning permissions and regulations.
This opens the door to a variety of possibilities — from a private family estate with guest accommodation to a boutique rural retreat, hospitality concept or lifestyle-focused tourism project.
For an investor, entrepreneur or family looking for a property with character, land and future potential, this is a particularly interesting opportunity.

| International Schools & Family Living
The location is especially attractive for international families. Several international schools are within easy reach, including:
Bright International School – Loulé: approximately 10–15 minutes
Nobel Algarve British International School – Almancil: approximately 15–20 minutes
Aspire International School – Almancil: approximately 15–20 minutes
Loulé itself is only around 8 minutes away, offering supermarkets, shops, restaurants, schools, healthcare and everyday amenities, as well as its historic centre and famous traditional market.
Public transport is also available.

| Ideally Positioned in the Central Algarve
The property offers easy access to some of the Algarve’s most prestigious destinations.
Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura are all within comfortable driving distance, with their renowned golf courses, beaches, restaurants, marinas and leisure facilities.
Faro International Airport is approximately 15 km away, making the property highly convenient for international owners, family and guests.

The Best of Both Worlds
Here, mornings begin surrounded by open skies, fruit trees and the peaceful rhythm of the Algarve countryside, while Loulé, international schools, the Golden Triangle, beaches, golf and the airport remain close at hand.
It is a setting that offers something increasingly difficult to find in the Algarve: space, authenticity and privacy without sacrificing convenience.
A beautifully preserved piece of Algarve heritage, enhanced for modern living and offering genuine potential for rural tourism — a place to live, entertain, invest and enjoy the Algarve as a way of life.
