This quinta setting feels like it has been around for generations—yet it was built entirely new from the ground up in 2006, replacing an original ruin of less than 7m². No expense was spared on the premium, authentic materials used throughout and its thick walls, and all has been exceptionally maintained. Beyond the peaceful location just 5 minutes from Loulé, the property also offers the possibility to extend.

It would be a real challenge to buy a plot of this size and privacy today, with no RAN or REN restrictions, and build a character property of this caliber. This is the perfect opportunity to immediately move into a dream home… also offering the expansion potential if needed (subject to council approval).

THE ARRIVAL

Driving up the winding, cypress-lined lane, you will reach the grand wooden gates that open into an enclosed calçada courtyard. Here, the outside world fades away, and you realize you have arrived in a timeless Tuscan haven.
The architecturally striking facade—complete with limestone-trimmed windows, wood-framed glass, and metal-studded double door—seamlessly blends into a traditional Quinta with a Mediterranean rustic style.

THE QUINTA LAYOUT

The generous entrance hall features an oversized fireplace shared with the dining room to the right. Immediately, the eye is drawn to the rich, earthy tones of Santa Catarina tiles and high, exposed timber ceilings. Stepping down into the open-plan living room, you are greeted by reclaimed wood floors, while to the right sits a beautiful kitchen with a separate laundry room that flows back into the dining area. The sheer number of windows throughout artfully frames the views of the terraces, pool, and lush vegetation beyond.

In the left wing of the home, you will find a spacious master suite alongside a second bedroom and a bathroom. Meanwhile, the first-floor "tower" on the right wing—reached by stairs at the end of the dining room—leads to an ideal office space or third bedroom.

The home is exceptionally comfortable all year round due to its thick, 50cm walls. Three separate fireplaces make for cozy winters, complemented by underfloor heating(except wooden floors), plus pre-installation for air conditioning and ceiling fans if desired.

THE EXTERIOR

A generous terrace wraps around the south-facing facade, featuring a covered BBQ dining terrace directly off the kitchen. There is endless space for entertaining and relaxing in complete privacy around the freeform infinity pool.

Supported by a private borehole, the garden is blends a natural landscape with drought-tolerant flora and indigenous vegetation. Ample storage space is also tucked away on the property for absolute convenience.
