Description

Four parcels of land totalling more than six hectares form the setting of this estate near Olhão. Hundreds of palms and other trees, three koi lakes, an equestrian centre with an 85 x 40 m arena and a golf practice area with putting green shape grounds that open to views over gardens, mountains and sea.

The estate lies near Olhão in the Algarve. Town, beach, golf, restaurants, bars and shops are each about five minutes away by car, and the airport is roughly ten minutes distant. The property faces south. From the house and gardens, views extend across the landscaped grounds to the mountains and the sea. The land comprises four parcels totalling more than six hectares.

The entrance hall with its sweeping staircase opens to the lounge and adjoining dining room. Polished natural stone shapes the floors, walls and fireplace. The entrance level also holds the kitchen, two double bedrooms with full en-suite bathrooms and a guest WC. The first floor is given over to the master suite: a large bedroom with a terrace overlooking the grounds and the sea, a bathroom with two-person jacuzzi bath and separate walk-in shower, a dressing room or fourth bedroom, and a separate WC.

Hundreds of palms and other trees frame the garden, which includes three lakes with koi carp. The rectangular pool measures 12 x 6 metres and is lit. Several outdoor barbecue and dining areas and a gazebo with automatic shutters invite outdoor living. For horses there are an equestrian centre with stables, tack room and hay barn (each 4 x 3 m), an 85 x 40 m riding arena and several paddocks. A golf practice area with a USGA putting green completes the grounds.

The basement of about 260 m² holds a bar, party room, cinema room, office, technical room, laundry and storage areas, with space prepared for a gym. Underfloor heating serves the basement and the master suite, while ducted air conditioning runs through a false ceiling. Water is heated mainly by solar power with gas backup. An infrared alarm, eight cameras and security shutters protect the property. Irrigation, a borehole and a cistern supply the gardens, and a wooden staff house offers two bedrooms. Windows and doors are double glazed.
