"Set on a private 20,900m² plot in the Santa Bárbara de Nexe area, this property combines a detached three-bedroom main villa with a separate traditional stone cottage dating from before 1951. The main house occupies an elevated position with countryside views, a swimming pool and substantial ancillary space. The second building has been restored externally and insulated internally but remains ready for a new owner to complete. Together with the basement beneath the main villa, it gives the property unusual flexibility while keeping any future conversion or accommodation changes subject to the relevant permissions. / The main villa opens through a reception area to a fitted kitchen with a walk-in utility and pantry, plus a lounge and dining area centred on a Fogo Montanha log fire. The ground floor provides the principal en-suite bedroom, a second double bedroom and a family bathroom. Upstairs is a third bedroom with its own terrace and access to a large internal attic. At basement level, a games room and bathroom connect directly to the pool terrace. / The land extends to approximately 2.09 hectares and includes the swimming pool and pump room, covered terraces and the separate 102m² stone cottage. The cottage is described on the listing as suitable for completion into further accommodation, subject to permission. The setting offers a rural feel while remaining within reach of Loulé, Faro and the central Algarve coast. The elevated position and scale of the land give the property a strong sense of privacy without isolating it from day-to-day services. / This is a practical option for buyers wanting a main residence with space for extended family, guests or a separate project. Any use of the cottage or basement for paid accommodation or rural tourism would remain subject to the appropriate planning, licensing and other permissions. 364m² total gross built area stated on the listing, including a 262m² main house Buderus diesel boiler with radiators and 1,000L storage tank Air conditioning and solar hot-water system Borehole with Grundfos pump plus 10,000L water cistern Double glazing, fibre-optic internet and monitored alarm system Private gated entrance with electric gates and driveway lighting Approximately 10 minutes from Loulé Approximately 10 minutes from MAR Shopping Algarve and IKEA Approximately 15 minutes from Faro Airport Approximately 15 minutes from Algarve beaches - Contact us for further information or to arrange your viewing.
