Detached House, Almancil, Loulé

Set on a 4,508 sqm south-facing plot, this villa has its own orchard, with guava and other mature fruit trees, and an enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds, designed for those who enjoy growing their own food. Terraced gardens, full of colourful planting, surround the saltwater infinity pool. This is the traditional Algarve, just minutes from the beaches and golf courses of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. Renovated in 2023 to high aesthetic and technical standards, the house offers 335 m² over two floors, two entrances with electric gates and visitor parking. The main floor opens to the outdoors. The open-plan living and dining room leads onto a large shaded terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. The fully equipped south-facing kitchen has a utility area and pantry. The master suite features dual-aspect windows, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with bath and shower. The second bedroom is also en suite. The third, currently a home office and gym, is served by a bathroom that also serves guests. The lower floor has a self-contained apartment with its own entrance, comprising a living room, open kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, ideal for hosting family and friends in complete privacy. It also includes a garage with an electric car charger, a plant room and storage. Living with nature, at lower cost: a 20 kW solar array with battery storage and a private borehole allow a largely energy self-sufficient lifestyle. During the 2023 renovation, the house received 8 cm of external thermal insulation. Features include water-based underfloor heating on the upper floor, air conditioning in every room, ceiling fans, electric shutters, mosquito screens, automatic irrigation, a pool with automatic dosing, intercom and alarm. A short walk from Almancil’s amenities and close to Faro airport, this is a home for living with the seasons.
