Only a 10-minute drive to the coastal town of Tavira and a short distance to Faro, the villa is accessed via a local municipal road and a short 100m track. There is an automated gate and a driveway offering excellent access and plenty of parking spaces once you arrive at the property.

The villa was built on the highest point of its plot. The land comprises several indigenous trees such as carob, olive, and almond. There is one neighbour in the direct vicinity. The villa is facing south with its pool at the front and makes the most of 180º sweeping views towards the coastline. At the back of the property, there is a gated courtyard permitting a separate entrance to the annexe.

The property is composed of a main villa with two en suite bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and office space. In addition is a self-contained annexe with one bedroom, a big garage for cars, utility room, an extra high garage for camping cars and a studio with bathroom under the eaves of the roof.

The property is very versatile and would be equally suitable for two families or as a family home with guests’ quarters in the annexe. It has been built to minimalize costs while being very comfortable. The electricity is generated via solar panels, the pool is heated and the water from the borehole is also treated. On the roof is an ingenious, fully irrigated grass roof which gives natural insulation. Another great touch is the elevator from the garage, meaning you don’t have to worry about climbing steps with heavy bags of shopping.
