Situated amongst silver-leafed olive trees, mature oak trees, palm trees and yuccas across more than five hectares of rolling countryside, this versatile two-storey villa is a private oasis. It offers stunning, unobstructed views of sunrise and sunset, and is less than ten peaceful minutes from Ourique's cafés, 40 minutes from retail destinations on the Algarve coast, and just over an hour from Faro Airport. Completely surrounded by exceptionally high-quality fencing, professionally installed, the expansive grounds guarantee absolute security so the family's pets can roam freely. Although the villa is two storeys, daily living can be fully enjoyed on the ground floor. Multiple secondary entry points around the house provide step-free access, avoiding traditional stairs at the main entrance. Internally, the expansive living room immediately draws the eye upward to an impressive ten-metre-high exposed Swedish pine ceiling, anchored by a large castle-style stone fireplace, complete with a Jøtul wood-burning stove and an elegant mezzanine gallery above. - The Kitchen & Dining: A bright and generous space, equipped with granite countertops that extend into the adjacent laundry room. It features abundant cabinetry, a laundry sink, brand new washing machine and dryer, and a double-door American-style refrigerator. The property is offered partially furnished, including an old English antique dining table. - The Master Suite (Ground Floor): A sunny retreat with direct, step-free access to the garden and pool, wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes, and a luxurious main bathroom with full wall-tiled finish, a soaking bathtub, double sink and a high-quality walk-in shower in exquisite marble. - Guest Accommodation & Versatility: The second en-suite bedroom on the ground floor also features a walk-in shower with marble tiling. Along the corridor, a cosy sitting area offers genuine potential to serve as a third ground floor bedroom or private office. Upstairs, accessible via the mezzanine gallery, the private en-suite bedroom features its own walk-in shower, keeping the ground floor completely self-sufficient. Beautiful large windows run throughout the house, flooding every room with natural light. - The Lifestyle Spaces: The outdoor spaces are perfectly adapted for peaceful mornings and grand events. For early risers and evening relaxation, the first-floor rooftop terrace offers an elevated vantage point with panoramic views over the valley. Near the house, a generous 70m² swimming pool captures the Alentejo light until the golden hour, sitting alongside a covered outdoor kitchen with a heat-resistant ceiling, fully equipped for meals extending late into the evening. Offered at €620,000, a rural property of this scale, finish and layout flexibility is a rarity. Contact me today to schedule your private in-person or virtual viewing.
