Algarve, Quinta Do Lago, Portugal

Finished to the highest of specifications and with a superior level of attention to detail, this remarkable one-of-a-kind villa is on a large 2906m2 plot with the additional benefit of c. 2500m2 of adopted land. Designed by renowned architect Vasco Vieira, the luxury villa showcases a distinctive architectural style, unique to the area, whilst maximising its south-facing orientation and outlook over pine trees towards the coast. Offering the perfect blend of exclusivity and privacy combined with an ease of access to the Campus, popular restaurants and pristine beaches, which are all within walking distance.

The magnificent living areas are presented around a striking feature fireplace and underneath an open ceiling, framed with exquisite wooden detailing. To supplement the outlook, a fully retractable glass wall opens at the press of a button to access the poolside terraces and create the optimum indoor-outdoor living spaces. The beautiful open plan style kitchen has an exquisite design of asymmetric lines and angles that add another element of depth to the entire aesthetic, an additional design feature in this property that is truly inspiring. The fully equipped kitchen incorporates all the required amenities hidden behind a wooden feature wall for a clean finish, including a Smeg 6-ring gas hob, oven and built-in extractor, AEG American-style fridge and freezer, Jura coffee machine, plenty of pantry storage, and an Irinox machine that dispenses pure microfiltered water. A butler’s pantry supplements the kitchen, creating a multi-use zone for busy lifestyles or making large scale catering more efficient. Conveniently off these zones are the ultimate entertaining spaces to impress guests, with an exterior kitchen complete with a BBQ and pizza oven overlooking the pool, with its own Baja shelf and incorporated pool bar, towards the private landscaped gardens.

The residence presents 6 spacious bedroom suites over 3 floors, all benefiting from a very calming quality with custom-made detailing and natural stone finishes. The impressive primary is positioned to enjoy spectacular views over the gardens and towards the sea, and boasts its own home office, kitchen, bar and seating area overlooking the large terrace and a built-in Jacuzzi. Corresponding to the rest of the property, the natural elements and neutral tones create soothing zen areas whilst floor-to-ceiling glass walls bounce an abundance of natural light off copper features. The primary bathroom presents a striking stand-alone bathtub, as well as the option to choose between the enormous walk-in shower room or the exterior waterfall shower with a natural living wall backdrop. With a dressing room that conveniently has a washing machine and dryer, this entire suite can be closed off from the rest of the villa, creating a fully equipped living zone for the sole use of the owners.

Every corner of this property exudes refinement. The inspired design of the villa ensures a cool, comfortable atmosphere during the summer, while thoughtfully incorporating delightful sun traps for warmth in the winter. This essential detail is perfectly planned for every season, offering a comfortable year-round living experience in the Algarve.

To complete luxury living there is a gym, games and entertainment area, home cinema and a private spa with a Vichy shower, Turkish Bath, sauna, and a heated indoor swimming pool. A unique wine and entertaining room is also situated on the ground floor with sand flooring, custom-made wine storage and views to the exterior sunken seating area. This immaculate residence incorporates everything that you would expect from a property of this calibre. It combines a Lutron system, integrated sound system and high-end bespoke finishes, including polished concrete flooring, living plant walls, wood accents that perfectly harmonise with the indoor water features, a car turntable next to the 3-car garage, and a circular Schmitt lift that accesses all 4 levels of the property, including the outstanding roof terrace.

The sunny rooftop provides prime views over pine trees towards the Atlantic Ocean as well as further areas for socialising and entertainment. A large bar crafted from railway sleepers is positioned to take in the view, whilst seating around a circular fire pit is the ideal spot to sit down with friends and family, watch the sunset and talk into the early hours.

Located within walking distance to The Campus, outstanding restaurants and the beach, this high-end luxury residence is one of the finest options on the local market.
