This astonishing stand-alone villa crowns a wooded knoll deep in the Algarve hinterland. The walled and gated countryside residence is set within a sprawling estate of landscaped gardens and purpose-built water features and ensures absolute privacy and discretion for the owner. A helipad can receive VIP visitors. The property’s striking and contemporary design is contrasted against this pastoral landscape, though the region’s cultural heritage is upheld by the careful refurbishment of an old windmill that’s been imaginatively integrated into the architectural footprint. Extended ceiling height and an open plan split-level interior help create a wonderful sense of fluency. Huge picture windows and a dynamic skylight flood the lounge-sitting room with a wash of natural light. Inspiring views take in the Atlantic Ocean, Ilha Deserta and the Santa Maria lighthouse that marks the southernmost point of continental Portugal. The dining area is set on a raised terrace with room at the table for 12 persons. A modern gourmet kitchen offers a professional cooking environment with access to an outside dining space. The lower level follows a pleasant meandering floor pattern and feature ensuite bedrooms, art gallery and cinema room, wine cellar, laundry room and ample interior and exterior storage. The master suite on the upper level has a shower room and Jacuzzi and two dressing rooms; the hall is lined with handcrafted wardrobes. Outside, a custom designed heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi adds dramatic perspective to the grounds that circle the property. A tennis court provides further recreational opportunities. In fact, the over-generous leisure and entertainment areas are fashioned to host large social gatherings and special occasions. The villa’s elevated position is rewarded with sweeping 360-degree views that encompass coastline and countryside including town of Olhão and the Ria Formosa to the south, and village of Estoi to the north. This is a quiet, privileged location in a pastoral setting. Yet despite its relatively seclusion, this remarkable home is just 12 minutes away by car from Faro airport and only 20 minutes from the golf courses and glamorous nightlife at Quinta do Lago.

Algarve portugal LOCATION
The Algarve is Portugal’s southern-most province and one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. Blessed with a wonderfully agreeable climate and a stunning Atlantic coastline, this is a region full of character and contrast. Renowned for its superb beaches, magnificent golf courses and lively cosmopolitan resorts, the Algarve is also a land of unhurried charm, where a more conventional way of life prevails.

A rich historical legacy is celebrated through a wealth of unique visitor attractions. Nature, in all her rare and delicate beauty, can be appreciated in the wide variety of wildlife found here. Outdoor pursuits prevail. Water sport is popular, and discovering the region by foot or on horseback is a favourite option. But playing the fairways remains the most enticing and challenging pastime. Drawing inspiration from the ocean and a proud seafaring tradition, Algarve gastronomy is also flavoured by a countryside culture unchanged for centuries. Staying here can be quiet and secluded or vibrant and energetic. But a relaxed atmosphere always prevails. And with Faro International Airport just two hours away from most European cities, this is a destination waiting to be explored, waiting to be discovered.
