Description

Between centenary oaks and generous paddocks stands this villa, built in 2015 on a plot of more than four hectares. The estate combines modern residential architecture with a complete equestrian facility and, in a very private setting, remains just two minutes by car from the nearest town.

The villa stands in a very private setting near Lagoa yet remains well connected: the town centre is two minutes away by car, the beach, golf, restaurants and shops about five minutes each, and the airport roughly 40 minutes. The Nobel International School in Porches and the German school are also in the surrounding area. The estate includes several parcels with paddocks; riding trails lead into the countryside between Armação de Pera and Benagil and, in about 25 minutes on horseback, to the beaches.

The main house, completed in 2015 to a high specification, connects indoor and outdoor living. An open-plan living, kitchen and dining area opens onto the terraces and pool, while a central open fireplace warms the living room and kitchen. Next to the living room is an office that can also serve as a fourth bedroom. A glazed hallway with a tropical indoor garden leads to two bedrooms with a shared bathroom and to the master bedroom with dressing area, separate toilet and a bathroom with bathtub and shower. A pantry and a private elevator complete the layout.

The rectangular overflow pool measures 5 x 15 metres and is heated and covered; a jacuzzi seats five people. An outdoor fireplace and al fresco dining area complement the terraces, and the landscaped garden incorporates centenary oak trees. The equestrian facilities comprise seven stables with hay barn, washing area and tack room, four further stables on an additional two-hectare plot, a covered riding hall (20 x 40 m) and an ebb-and-flow arena (20 x 60 m) with lunging circle. The grounds are fenced and secured by electric gates.

The house features underfloor heating and water-based underfloor cooling run by a heat pump; ceiling and exterior walls are well insulated, and windows and doors are double glazed. Eight solar panels and a heat pump provide hot water, while a photovoltaic system with 102 panels and a battery pack supplies electricity. Home automation, a central sound system, internet, CCTV and electric shutters add comfort and security. The basement offers a self-contained apartment with two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom, as well as a garage, storage rooms and a technical room.
