This classic 4-bedroom villa has been beautifully renovated, creating a comfortable home for year-round living. It is located in a peaceful area close to Silves golf, with views across the countryside and north to Monchique mountains.
Automatic gates open to a gravel driveway and spacious parking area. A pretty covered porch leads to the front door, which opens to a generous entrance hall. Glass doors lead from here to the impressive lounge with views over the lawn and gardens. The lounge boasts patio doors to a lovely terrace, partially covered so that you can make the most of the sun or the shade. There is an elegant wood-burning fireplace for cosy winter evenings, as well as underfloor heating throughout, and there is plenty of space to relax and entertain. From here, glass doors lead to the kitchen and dining area. The beautiful kitchen features a central island with induction hob, granite worktops, plenty of cupboard space, eye-level oven-microwave and warming draw, and side-by-side fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser. The appliances are all Miele and everything has been finished to a high standard. The dining area has patio doors to the covered terrace and garden, and is sunny and bright - ideal for indoor eating. There is plenty of space on the terrace for al-fresco dining while enjoying the views, and there is ample room for a pool or jacuzzi should you want one.
Back inside, there is a laundry / utility room off the kitchen with plenty of cupboards, as well as a water softener system plus the controls for the photovoltaic panels (generating electricity to keep running costs low). A door from here leads to the garden, ideal for hanging out the washing.
Opening off the entrance hall is a guest toilet, as well as the 4th bedroom, which is currently used as an office. A short corridor leads to the spacious master bedroom with patio doors to the south-facing terrace and garden. There is a gorgeous en-suite bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower, plus there are "his and hers" walk-in wardrobes with plenty of storage space.
To the other side of the entrance hall, a corridor with plenty of built-in cupboards, leads to 2 more bedrooms and the family bathroom. One bedroom has patio doors to the garden as well as a large walk-in wardrobe, and the other has a window to the garden and plenty of wardrobes. The family bathroom has a double vanity plus a walk-in shower.
This lovely home comes with lots of extras including underfloor heating throughout (except laundry room), air-conditioning to heat and cool in the master bedroom, top-quality windows and doors with insect screens, dimmable or mood lighting, alarm system, mains water plus access to a shared borehole for irrigation, and photovoltaic panels for electricity generation plus solar hot water panels.
The land is mostly flat with a great variety of fruit trees including fig, tangerine, orange, lime, apricot, avocado, carob and olive. It is completely fenced and there is an irrigation system (using water from a borehole). Steps lead up to a roof terrace, from where there are even better views of the surrounding countryside and distant hills - a great spot for star-gazing. Next to the house is a large wooden shed, great for extra storage.
Set in a peaceful location, it is less than 4km to the medieval town of Silves with its castle and riverfront area. Silves golf is just a few minutes drive, and beaches are only 12km. There are international schools (German, Dutch and English-language) within 3-9kms, and Faro airport is only 45 minutes by motorway.
