Lovely Country Villa With Pool, Guest Annex And Views

This lovely 4-bedroom home is set in an elevated position and enjoys far-reaching views across the countryside to Monchique mountain in the distance.  Conveniently located just north of the pretty towns of Alcantarilha and Pêra, it offers the peace and quiet of the countryside with quick and easy access to all the amenities of the coast, as well as international schools.

Gates open to a driveway and carport for 2 cars. The front door opens to a lobby area with archway to the spacious lounge with picture window capturing views across the valley to the distant hills.  There is a wood-burner for cosy winter evenings, which keeps this well-insulated house lovely and warm.  Adjoining the lounge is the dining room with patio doors to the terrace, convenient for al-fresco dining.  Next to this is the kitchen with plenty of cupboards and granite worktops, an extra-large oven, gas hob and integrated dishwasher. A door from the kitchen also leads to the terrace, which wraps around to the sparkling 5 x 10m pool and entertainment area.  There is plenty of space to relax in the sun, as well as a shady area to relax and soak up the views.  The pool is heated to extend your swimming season.

Back inside, to the south-side of the living area, are 2 bedrooms (one currently used as a sitting room) plus a bathroom with a shower cubicle. Both bedrooms boast fantastic views of the pool and countryside beyond, and sliding doors open to the terrace to make the most of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle.  

To the other side of the living room are 2 more bedrooms (one currently used as an office) plus another bathroom, this one with a bath with shower over.  One of the bedrooms has a door which connects to the guest annex.

The guest annex, which used to be a double garage, has a lounge area with wood-burner, a small kitchenette and dining area, plus a separate bedroom with en-suite shower room.  Both the bedroom and the lounge have patio doors to the garden and pretty views north.

An internal door from the guest annex connects to another room, which is currently used as a workshop and laundry room. A door to the outside leads to the kitchen terrace, convenient for hanging out your washing, and on to the south garden, pool, and land.  

Next to the pool is a pretty fountain and landscaped gardens, filled with Mediterranean plants. Steps lead down past ponds, gardens and a boules / petanque area, to a field on the lower part of the land.  This is completely fenced and would be ideal for animals as it has separate access.  There are a number of sheds and storage spaces, ideal for hobbies or storing garden equipment.

The property has mains water, plus a rain-water collection and storage system, which is ideal for the swimming pool and garden.  

This comfortable home is only 4km to the market town of Alcantarilha and just 8km to beautiful beaches. There are international schools (Dutch, English and German) within 15kms and two world-class golf courses are close by. Faro airport is about a 35-minute drive.
