Property Description

4 Bedroom Villa in Loulé

Set within a substantial south-facing plot of 4,500 sqm, this beautifully refurbished property combines modern comfort and sustainability with the peace and tranquillity of a traditional Algarve home. The 335 sqm residence is arranged over two levels and is positioned centrally within the grounds, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. There is extensive visitor parking to the front, while the rear of the property features thoughtfully designed kitchen gardens and an orchard, both accessed via separate electric gates. Ideally located just moments from the amenities of Almancil, the beaches and golf courses of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are only a short drive away, as is Faro Airport. The house has been tastefully refurbished to the highest standards, both aesthetically and technically, offering a seamless blend of modern open-plan living with traditional charm. On entry, the property opens into a large open-plan living and dining area, which flows onto a generous shaded terrace overlooking the saltwater infinity pool and the terraced gardens beyond, filled with a wide variety of colourful planting. Adjacent to the living area is a fully equipped modern kitchen, also open plan, with views across the pool and gardens to the south. This space is complemented by a well-designed utility area and pantry. On this level, there are three bedrooms. The principal suite is a spacious and bright room with double-aspect windows, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. The second bedroom is also generously sized, filled with natural light, and includes its own en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom, currently used as a home office and gym, is a good-sized room and is served by a separate bathroom across the hallway, which also functions as a guest WC. The lower ground level comprises an independent apartment with its own private access, a garage with electric car charging point, a technical room, and storage areas. The apartment itself is fully self-contained, offering a spacious living room, open-plan galley kitchen, large bedroom, and bathroom, all benefiting from natural light. To the rear of the property is a large area featuring mature fruit trees, an enclosed kitchen garden with raised beds, and an impressive installation of solar panels generating 20kW of power with battery storage. Combined with a borehole, this allows for a high level of energy self-sufficiency. The property has been designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, featuring water-based underfloor heating throughout the upper level, a combination of ducted and individual air-conditioning in all rooms, ceiling fans, a subtle mood lighting system, electric shutters throughout, energy-efficient doors and windows with fly screens, electric gates with intercom, a security and alarm system, a saltwater pool with automatic dosing, and a fully automated irrigation system.
