Description

Elegant Sanctuary in the Heart of the Algarve This expansive, beautifully crafted home is a warm and inviting sanctuary that seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern elegance. Situated on a substantial 1.6-hectare plot in the highly sought-after area of Porches Velho—one of the Algarve’s most prestigious and rarely available locations—this residence offers perfect harmony of privacy, comfort, and stunning natural beauty.

Designed over two thoughtfully designed levels, the home maximises breathtaking views, including distant sea vistas. Conveniently located just 10-12 minutes from pristine beaches such as Praia da Marinha, vibrant shopping districts, and top international schools—including Dutch, German, and British options—this property provides an ideal balance of tranquility and accessibility.

The fully fenced estate is accessed through elegant electric gates, leading along a charming, cobbled (calçada) driveway bordered by lush lawns. The welcoming entrance sets the tone for the quality and care invested in this home, guiding you to the front door or spacious garage. Inside, a grand double-height entrance hall with beautiful Santa Catarina tiled ceilings invites you into the heart of the house.

To either side of the hallway are a versatile fifth bedroom and a guest bathroom, offering flexible space for visitors or a home office. The expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for entertaining, filled with natural light and offering nearly wrap-around terraces that extend outdoor living.

The terraces provide stunning views and multiple spaces for relaxation, dining, or enjoying the Algarve’s legendary sunsets. An external staircase leads down to the large swimming pool, perfect for warm summer days. On the lower level, four additional bedrooms and three bathrooms—including a luxurious master suite with a separate dressing room—offer comfort and privacy.

All bedrooms have direct access to the pool area, ideal for outdoor leisure. Additional amenities include a sizable garage, basement area, and ample parking for several vehicles, accessed via a separate drive for convenience. Beyond its exceptional living spaces, this property offers exciting development potential, with land allowing for up to 2,000 square meters of additional construction—perfect for agritourism or other ventures, adding versatility and value.

This magnificent home truly must be seen to be appreciated. While photos capture its beauty (and the video link gives a glimpse), the warmth and charm of this estate are felt best in person. Whether as a family retreat, a luxurious Algarve residence, or a smart investment, this property offers a rare opportunity.

Currency Exchange

Lagoa (Algarve), Faro, Portugal

Interested in this property? Don't lose out to currency fluctuations changing the price you pay...

Many overseas buyers in Portugal do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The property buying process in Portugal takes time; it could be up to six months between seeing the property of your dreams and actually taking ownership. So how much would this €2,200,000 property cost you?

Property Price € Minimum cost in the last six months Maximum cost in the last six months Fluctuating exchange rates over the last six months could have increased the cost of this property by
€2,200,000 £1,815,792 £1,909,798 £94,006

Minimum cost in the last six months £1,815,792

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Portugal will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £94,006 more.
