Algarve, Loulé, Portugal

Located in Zambujal, in the parish of Boliqueime, this ground floor villa is implanted in a 8025-square-meter lot of land, of which, 5000 are completely walled, with a water hole and cistern, eight photovoltaic panels, heat pump with 270 liters and dozens of fruit trees, almond and carob trees, generators of extra income. With 300 square meters of gross construction area, this villa presents a fusion between charming rustic architectural traces and modern modules with straight lines. It was built at the highest point of the property and has a single floor, providing an easy and smooth living between the different areas. It was designed to give priority to the luxury, size and comfort of the areas, rather than the number of rooms. The entrance is through a reinforced door, giving access to 70-square-meter of natural light and an imposing double height ceiling, which houses the fully-equipped kitchen with an open space counter and pantry, dining room and living room with fireplace, all with glazed spans overlooking the pool and the sea. The more private areas with solid wood floors are on the opposite side, with a library and bathroom area with an Italian shower, a complementary room to support the bedrooms with 27 square meters, a room en suite with 32 square meters with Italian shower, and open-plan bathrooms, from which one can exit to an outdoor patio with hydraulic mosaic and gardens. Through a luminous hallway with large glass frames on each side, we reach the 68-square-meter master bedroom, inspired by a true open plan hotel suite, with Italian shower, classic island bathtub with chrome feet under a window with panoramic views of the sea, walk-in closet, and large glass windows facing east and west, with access to the pool and gardens, as well as a 16-square-meter balcony. Accompanying the L-shape of the villa, there is a magnificent outdoor lounge area, with an aluminum pergola with retractable canvas, as well as a surrounding lounging area and a swimming pool with about 40 square meters. All the windows are in PVC with thermal cut and double glass, aluminum shutters and electric blinds with remote control. We can say that this villa easily creates good memories, being only five minutes away from supermarkets and services, 17 from the Falésia beach and 26 from the Faro airport.
