The Portobello di Gallura Residential Park was established in 1962 and has been steadily expanding its quest for wellbeing and harmony between man and nature ever since. Pairing innovation with tradition, the residential park was created exclusively for lovers of beauty, bien vivre, and the sheer wonder of places as unspoilt as these. Immobilsarda – Christie’s is listing several properties for sale in the area, which offers 3.5km of coastline and is located just 73km from Olbia airport.
The park’s founders had an avant-garde vision for organic architecture
and the design of the properties here is intrinsically linked to providing quality of life, and both the physical and moral well-being of its inhabitants. Today, the park is a luxuriant Mediterranean maquis, with holm oaks, junipers, colourful flowers, granite rocks that hold the sea close at hand, and fine white-sand beaches. The Residential Park is a gated community, with each property thoughtfully immersed within the landscape. The community is served by two concierge desks and 24-hour security. There’s a mini marina for boats of up to 7.5m length, a tennis club, a clubhouse with a restaurant and bar, a grocery store and small piazza.

Indoor-outdoor liveability, guaranteed by more than 180 square meters of terraces and outdoor areas, is a main theme of this design principle,
The project has been conceived by a team of carefully selected architects, planners, technicians, and designers who understand how to enhance the beauty of the territory and surroundings in line with the core principles of modern architecture, neuro architecture, biophilic design and a lifestyle that champions personal wellbeing.
It stands out as a true cultural and urban project. Each villa is intended as its own private, intimate oasis. They are their own microclimatic organism, designed to be lived in all year round, with natural finishes and materials that will weather, soften, and change over time.
One of those for sale is Villa Euforbia, which is spectacularly positioned front-row to the sea. At the heart of the property is a spacious and very bright living room. This space, bordered by full height sliding glass walls, connects the two sides of the villa: the one directly facing the beach, and the back, with its interior courtyard, outdoor kitchen, and natural swimming pool. On the second floor are three bedrooms, including a master suite with private bathroom and sun terrace. Completing this almost 350 sqm property is a 26 sqm underground garage and two outdoor parking spaces. www.immobilsarda.com
