Town House in Sao Bartolomeu De Messines, Algarve, Portugal

Details

This is a quality property, located in the foothills of the Monchique Hills, but geographically north of Carvoeiro. It is a 20 minute car ride north of Carvoeiro. The area is "Green" and Protected, unspoiled, and beautiful. The views from the house are unique, and yet it is within walking distance of a village with local amenities and domestic help.

The house itself is very well-built, earthquake-proof, spacious, light, with quality local terracotta tiles within and without. There is underfloor heating, solar panels for hot water, wood burners and air conditioning throughout. There are proper mosquito nets on all the windows, those that can roll up or down. The shutters are Portuguese wooden shutters typically Algarvian in style. All rooms are well-proportioned and the ceilings have attractive wooden beams. The house is well insulated against the heat as well as the cold, with double glazing on all windows.

There is an infinity-style pool, and the surround of the house are the beautiful typically Portuguese granite stone paving. There are 5 large bedrooms, two of them ensuite, and the other two bedrooms share a spacious family bathroom, and there is an extra cloakroom. There is a large drawing-room, large dining room off the kitchen, a large study with a minstrels gallery for those extra guests or just storage. There is a very large garage with Ping-Pong table or for a lot of storage. There is an outside wooden double garage, and ample space for extra parking on the terraced land above and below the house. The terraces are very wide and either have fruit trees, or lawns and trees. The property is garden-landscaped and has automatic timed watering systems throughout for the trees and lawns. There is a large kitchen garden. Ample space for many pets.

The property has its own ample water supply (from a known vast water table) and two large cysterns with enormous water storage capacity. The plot goes from the top of the slope where the entrance is, down to the road and beyond it to the stream at the bottom of the valley, which is where the borehole is. The house was completely renovated/rebuilt 10 years ago to a high standard and all its official legal papers are all in order. It has been a charming, happy family home, but the owner-couple now feels they ought to downsize, naturally with regret. It is a magical, healthy place, full of potential (for a B&B business as it is near a famous footpath popular with walkers from all over Europe).

It is within 20 minutes of Silves town, and only 8 minutes from Sao Bartolomeu de Messines which has many shops, supermarkets, hardware stores, banks, doctors, markets, etc. It is also 8 minutes from the motorway to Lisbon (2 hours to Lisbon). Faro Airport is 35 minutes on the motorway.
