Country Villa with huge grounds

Description:

This immaculate traditional-style Portuguese Quinta is set within an expansive estate and landscaped gardens in the pretty and quiet rural valley of Goldra. The property is conveniently located between Loule and Santa Barbara de Nexe, just ten minutes from the coast around Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo and 15 minutes from Faro Airport.

Such is the attention to detail to vernacular architecture that it is hard to believe this charming three bedroom villa was built just six years ago.

A pretty water feature, and vast manicured lawns and gardens greet guests on arrival at this enchanting family home. Double wood doors provide an elegant entrance. The welcoming living room is cosy with a wood burning fireplace. However, it is light and spacious with a feature vaulted ceiling and wooded beams. Patio doors to the covered terrace outside run the length of the room.

The kitchen truly is the heart of this home. White country style cabinetry, a butcher's sink and a range cooker create a chic but functional space. Patio doors offer easy access to the swimming pool and garden, while an open archway leads through to the dining room, which also benefits from patio doors to the outdoors.

One of the bedroom suites is located on the ground floor, while the remaining two bedroom suites, including the spacious master suite, occupy the entire first floor. Both rooms have petite balconies from which to enjoy the lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

A one-bedroom self contained guest cottage, with living room and kitchenette, is located to the left of the driveway when entering the property.

In addition to the swimming pool and nearby covered gazebo outside, this Quinta makes the most of its huge plot with a large American style barn, which is presently home to three stables, a tack room and storage area. Four spacious post paddocks and a sand area for horses are also found on the grounds.
