Beautiful Rustic 4 Bed Villa With Stunning Sea Views

Originally a semi-ruin the property was lovingly restored over three years and gained its full Utilisation License in 2006. The property has been renovated using all traditional materials and has retained the original layout of the farmhouse, barn and outhouses and they have been connected aesthetically and physically thus complying with all the Portuguese property laws, under the supervision of an architect who specialises in authentic renovations. It is fully compliant with all the licensing legislation. 

It is currently used as a rustic family home, but could easily be extended or used as a holiday home or converted to a rural tourism project.

Traditional dry stone walls compliment the calçada driveway, the ladrilha patios and the whitewashed walls of the buildings with the traditional Algarve blue trim. The original window and door surrounds have been preserved and there are wood window frames and wood shutters inside and outside. 

The property is completely enclosed with a combination of fences and stone walls with automatic main gates leading to the house, a side gate and double gates onto the land. The front calçada entrance is enclosed by a jasmine-covered fence around a majestic lone walnut tree providing space to park up to 5 cars.
