An Architectural Retreat In The Algarve

An exceptional property situated in the hilly hinterland of the Algarve, close to the picturesque village of Santa Bárbara de Nexe. A secluded spot in a prime location, surrounded by mature almond and olive trees. All everyday amenities, such as supermarkets, bakeries, markets and schools, are in Loulé, just a 10-minute drive away. Furthermore, the beautiful beaches and Faro Airport are only 20 minutes away.

The house has been completely renovated and extended with a new wing. The concrete floors and clean, crisp lines emphasise the minimalist design, which contrasts beautifully with the earthy, rural surroundings. The spacious and light-filled layout, combined with the refined décor, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The original section comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, whilst the new extension features a spacious living room with a fireplace. Both sections are connected via a central entrance hall, ensuring a seamless, open flow. Large windows open onto the surrounding garden and offer views of the surrounding hills.

Outdoor living comes naturally, thanks to various patios and terraces, plus a roof terrace overlooking the nature reserve and the sea. The Mediterranean-style landscape is characterised by small plots, stone walls, mature trees, water tanks and small outbuildings. The 15-metre-long swimming pool, set within a concrete block at the edge of the plot, is a simple yet striking feature of the garden.
