House for sale - Estoi (Portugal)
A winding country road, just five minutes from Estoi and ten from São Brás de Alportel, Faro and Olhão meanders gently through the Algarve hills. It feels as though this road was designed with intention to lead only here, to this singular villa perched on a plateau. As the electric gate swings open, you are invited into in a broad cobbled courtyard, shaded by ancient, sculpted olive trees. Almost without warning, the view reveals itself: a vast, uninterrupted panorama stretching across the coastline, from Faro to Fuseta and the beautiful islands of Armona and Farol the Algarve laid out like a private canvas at your feet. The villa itself is a work of contemporary architecture, a bold and elegant transformation completed in 2019 by StudioArte, the renowned design studio based in Portimão. Step inside and you're greeted by a light-filled entrance hall that opens into a generous living and dining area. To your right, a sleek, modern kitchen to your front, the horizon. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing sky and sea, bringing the landscape indoors. To the left, a quiet corridor draws you toward a library/music room, and then to the master suite a sanctuary of space and light. Here, you wake to sunrises, rest beneath sunsets, and live in complete privacy, unobserved and undisturbed. The master suite features a walk-in wardrobe, a refined ensuite bathroom and a spacious/grand bedroom with office corner, all designed with comfort and simplicity in mind. Downstairs, two additional ensuite bedrooms each offer the same cinematic views. A large storage room on this level could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, should one desire. Outside, a 10 x 5 meter overflow pool mirrors the sky. It's bordered by a generous deck where sun loungers invite hours of idleness under the southern sun. The Mediterranean garden surrounding the home is both sustainable and poetic a low-maintenance blend of olive, yucca, cacti, and succulents. Beyond it, the rest of the land has been left to nature wild and embracing the villa in a soft, protective arc. Technically, the villa is as impressive as it is aesthetically. With an A energy rating, it features underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, Daikin air conditioning in the bedrooms (and pre-installation in the common areas), hot water from solar panels, a Sonos sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers, a full alarm system, and Ubiquity Wi-Fi access points throughout. The house also has its own borehole with a 40,000-liter water reserve. Offered fully furnished, this villa is ready to live in and enjoy whether as a primary residence, a serene escape or an upmarket investment property. Perfectly positioned just east of Estoi, you're within 15 minutes of Fuseta, Olhão, and Faro yet it feels like, and it truly is, a world of its own. Energy Rating: A #ref:SV-2052 Want to know more?
