Countryside Home: Beautifully Completely Refurbished Five Bedroom Villa In The Loulé Hills With Swim

This elegant country home has just been fully refurbished to a very high standard. Tucked away in the Loulé hills, at a very private spot, but at the same time at only a 15-20 minutes’ drive from the Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago beaches and golf courses.

This property enjoys a lot of privacy and is surrounded by a 10.000m2 plot. The garden around the house has been landscaped, leaving the rest of the land to nature and its indiginous trees, which means: low maintenance and low water use and beautiful flowers appearing in springtime!

The house is approached by a cobble stone driveway, driving up to the house, where a generous forecourt with turning circle awaits. There is also a carport and plenty of parking space. The entrance hall is very cosy and welcoming with its original brick ceiling and blue Portuguese tiled panel. There is a beautiful cloakroom off the hall, as well as an elegant built-in wardrobe/storage cupboard.

The spacious living room with dining area and fireplace is connected seamlessly with the semi-open plan kitchen. From the fully fitted kitchen, complete with two refridgeratiors, a freezer, large wine fridge and an island with Bora cooker and a Quooker tap for water, all other appliances: Siemens. There is direct access to the west facing (12x5m) swimming pool and the generous terrace with outdoor kitchen and outdoor WC.

Large calçada terracing sweeps around the house. The terrace on the north side of the house is particularly grand, a great spot to host summer parties! On the ground floor there are also two guest bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and showerrooms en suite and there is a separate laundry room.

On the first floor there are two further guest suites, one with walk-in wardrobe and an open plan very complete bathroom: a twin shower and a freestanding bathtub. The WC is behind a door, from where there are beautiful views over the rolling hills. This bedroom has its’ own private south facing terrace.

The other guest bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a shower room, with the same beautiful brick ceiling as the hallway.

The master suite is truly exceptional, with its generous walk-in wardrobe and an open plan bathroom with twin showers and a freestanding (the wc here is also behind a door). The master suite has a generous private terrace with a staircase leading down straight to the swimming pool: easy access for your morning dip in the pool!

The owners have done a fabulous job turning this villa completely around and literally ”upside down” which resulted in a grand and very unique property. This is not just an average superficial refurbishment, but a thorough job, excecuted to a high standard and with attention to detail.

The house is very comfortable with an underfloor heating and cooling system throughout, and an integrated air conditioning system in the bedrooms. Beautiful tiled floors throughout and polished calçada (cobble stone) floors in the entrance hall and on the landing. Very beautiful window frames. All bedrooms have beautiful bespoke wardrobes, with automatic light inside upon opening the doors. Exclusive light fittings throughout the house, inside and outside. This bespoke interior design was done by Diana van den Boomen (@dianavandenboomeninteriors).

All terraces, driveway and parking areas are laid in calçada (cobble stone). There is a solar hot water system and there are also photovoltaic panels in the garden for electricity. At the moment there is a borehole for water and a septic tank for drainage. Mains water and a mains sewage system are currently being installed in the area, so the house can be connected shortly to these mains services. There is mains electricity and high speed internet. All in all a grand and welcoming countryside retreat!

The house is finished to a T and ready to move into. Call us today to schedule a visit!
