Charming Restored Algarve Farmhouse with Pool, Gardens & Sea Views
Lovingly restored from a semi-ruin over three years, this exceptional property gained its full Utilisation License in 2006. Renovated under the supervision of an architect specializing in authentic Portuguese restorations, it complies fully with all licensing and property legislation. Traditional materials were used throughout, preserving the original layout of the farmhouse, barn, and outhouses, which are now aesthetically and physically connected.
Currently serving as a rustic family home, the property offers flexibility for expansion or conversion into a holiday retreat or rural tourism venture.
Character and Craftsmanship
The exterior features traditional dry stone walls, a calçada (cobblestone) driveway, ladrilha patios, and whitewashed walls accented with Algarve blue trim. Original window and door surrounds remain intact, complemented by wood-framed windows and interior/exterior shutters.
The property is fully enclosed with a mix of fencing and stone walls, and is accessible via gates leading to the house, a side gate, and double gates onto the land. A jasmine-covered front fence surrounds a majestic walnut tree and provides parking for up to five cars.
The property is connected to mains water and offers the charm and comfort of traditional rural living with modern convenience.
