This lovely traditional villa is nestled in a privileged location within the protected Costa Vicentina Natural Park. Surrounded by sounds of nature and panoramic countryside views yet with easy access to the pristine beaches of Boca do Rio and Cabanas Velhas. It is situated in an elevated position, facing southeast and at the end of a lane with no nearby traffic.More than 42,000 square metres of private land with carob, olive, fig, and almond trees and an abundance of wildlife, making it a haven for bird watchers. The vastness of this protected land ensures the preservation of its exceptional natural beauty and most importantly, prevents any future developments.The single-story, 5-bedroom villa has ample terrace space and a private pool. One of the spectacular features is the rooftop terrace, which provides not only 360-degree endless views reaching as far as Praia da Luz and the Monchique mountains but is also the perfect spot for nighttime star-gazing. For early birds, the sunrise views are phenomenal, and one can start the day with bright pink skies glistening through the windows.On the interior, one finds a rustic kitchen featuring marble worktops and wooden cabinets. The space opens out into the spacious lounge area, with charming chestnut wooden beams along the high ceilings and a cosy fireplace. The poolside terrace offers magnificent views and a perfect outside dining area.The south side is accessed from the lounge or kitchen, where one finds three of the five bedrooms. The master bedroom is airy and bright and flows out onto the terrace with a pool and stunning views of the hills. The second bedroom looks out onto the lawn area through French windows. The third bedroom also flows out onto the terrace with a pool and stunning views of the hills. There is a large, shared bathroom with a bath and a separate guest WC.The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the lounge area, also featuring high ceilings and outdoor access. These bedrooms share a bathroom with a bath.The villa has its own water supplied by a licensed borehole and is powered by renewable energy through solar and wind, meaning there are no monthly utility bills for either. A separate outbuilding is currently used for storage (previously a stable) and there is plenty of space for paddocks for anyone looking to bring over their horses, with poles still in place from the family horse. This property was lovingly created some 30 years ago from scratch by a young couple chasing and fulfilling their dreams. It has been a family home and meticulously cared for.
