Nestled in the countryside and located just 6kms (10 minutes) from the vibrant towns of both Lagos and Praia da Luz, this idyllic ’quinta’ property offers peace, tranquillity and privacy, without being isolated. Situated down a little track off a country lane, this single storey villa sits nicely in the middle of a 5000 square metre plot (1 and a quarter acres). The villa is accessed through a wrought iron gate from the very large gravelled parking area, with most of the plot being fully fenced in, perfect for anyone having dogs. The path to the villa meanders through the pretty landscaped gardens, with lots of mature trees and many beautiful shrubs and flowers. There are 3 entrances to the property, with the most used entrance being via the stable door into the country-style kitchen. The kitchen benefits from a large gas range (SMEG), a dishwasher and fridge-freezer, and patio doors lead to the rear garden, plus a wonderful covered terrace which faces south-west. There are 2 adjacent circular patio areas framed by low stone walls and rockeries, and shaded by a mature carob tree, which are perfect spots for entertaining and outdoor dining. A covered area, with 2 beautiful old marble sinks, is an ideal spot for having a barbecue. The kitchen leads into the dining room, again having sliding doors to the rear garden, plus another raised outdoor seating area, which has not only gorgeous views of the Monchique mountains to the north, but is also the ideal spot for catching the evening sunsets looking to the west. The hall leads through to the cosy and bright living room which has a good quality log-burner (Fogo Montana brand), for winter nights in. As well as the large windows, there’s a door leading directly out to the south-east facing spacious poolside terrace. A pergola wraps around the corner of the villa, surrounding the living room. There’s ample room for sunbathing and relaxing. The villa has 3 bedrooms in total. There’s a large, bright south-facing bedroom off the hall next to the kitchen, plus a bedroom on one side of the hall with its own private shower room and a further bedroom with an adjacent family bathroom on the other side of the hall. All 3 bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Off the living room, there’s a handy utility room which has a laundry section with washing machine and sink, plus ample storage space.

Also to the rear of the property there’s a rustic store room and potting shed plus a log store. The property has an attic space under the eves for further storage. Beside the pool, there’s a majestic carob tree providing some shade to the terrace, and the surrounding garden has numerous mature trees such as the Phoenix palms, silver birch, casuarina, Italian cypress and grevillea. There are also a wide variety of fruit trees including fig, olive, pomegranate, almond, lemon, apple, plum, loquat and mulberry. The garden has a full irrigation system in place. There’s a further area which has been left natural, if you wanted extra space to keep chickens, grow vegetables or even keep a pony. The property features a 95m borehole for water supply and a self-cleaning, tiered septic tank system for waste water. The villa, originally built in 1994 has had some work done more recently, including a new pool terrace, refurbishment of the bathrooms, new plumbing, and some windows have been replaced with quality double-glazed tilt and turn windows, with fly screens added. There are also several slim-line economy heat wafers in the villa, providing a nice ambient temperature in the winter months. The Council have also indicated that the property can be extended to a maximum construction area of 300m2 (subject to architectural plans being approved), giving scope for further development of the property. This quinta is the perfect home for anyone looking for a character property with lots of outdoor space and privacy, yet not far (less than 10 minutes drive) from beaches, restaurants, shops, schools and all other amenities that Luz and Lagos have to offer. #ref:2817-1
