Unique opportunity to purchase a characteristic 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Portuguese farmhouse with a separate 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom holiday villa plus a studio annex with private pool, all on a spacious plot of over an hectare, only 3 kilometers north of Loulé.

The farmhouse (Quinta) still consists of some lovely historic features like a cane and pole roof, Santa Catarina floors and really big outer walls, but is in need of modernization and restoration in some aspects. From the terrace you enter the spacious kitchen area. To the right of the kitchen is an open room with a beautiful old fireplace in good condition. From the kitchen you walk into the central room with woodburner and entrance to the three bedrooms. All bedrooms are very spacious and two have a mezzanine to create even more space. The master bedroom can also be entered from the outside, has a dressing area and bathroom ensuite, the other bathroom is ensuite to both the other two bedrooms and has two entrances. One of the bedrooms can also be entered from the outside. Both bathrooms, kitchen en windows need to be completely renewed. There are electric wall heaters in all of the rooms. On the southside of the quinta is a big covered terrace of about 45m² and on the northside of the quinta, overlooking a lovely private garden area, is another terrace of about 40m². Two small outbuildings for storage can be reached from the south terrace.

Between the old quinta and the holiday villa lies the 5 x 10 meter pool with the studio annex next to it. The studio annex has a bathroom and bedroom and there is room for a small kitchen. The studio is also in some need of minor renovation like new windows and bathroom.

The holiday villa, Casa da Luz, was built in 2001 and consists of an entrance hall with access to the three bedrooms. The masterbedroom with aircon has an ensuite bathroom and a private terrace. Both other bedrooms are of good size and share the second bathroom. The open plan kitchen and living area with aircon is spacious with lots of natural light and it overlooks the pool. It has a charming big open fireplace and heating can also be done by the aircon (inverter) or electrical wall heaters. Fully double glazed. Around the casa are several (covered) terraces and a barbecue terrace with stone barbecue. Some terraces offer beautiful far hillside views and from the roof terrace there is even distant sea view!

Recently solar panels have been installed to successfully reduce the electricity bill. Underneath the structure of the solar panels the owners have made good use of the space and built a wooden storage. Warm water is by solar panels as well.

The plot is big and has various fruit trees like figs, almonds, plumb trees, pomegranate, olive, carob trees etc. and the back of the plot could be used for keeping animals. There are neighbors nearby but not close. Quiet without being remote.

Located just north of Loulé, the property is very well located close to shops and local market (5 mins), the airport of Faro (25mins), the beaches of Praia Loulé Velho (20 mins), Mar Shopping (10 mins). There are also many lovely walking trails straight from the property, the´Via Algarviana´ passes here.

This property has many opportunities. Must view to see the potential of it! - REF: SVP811
