5 Bed House for sale
Lagos, Lagos, Algarve, Portugal
Full Description
Set on an elevated plot in the sought-after area of Funchal, Lagos, this traditional Portuguese villa offers an opportunity for buyers seeking character, privacy and long-term value. Set on a generous 1,705 m² plot, the property combines authentic architectural features with open views across the surrounding landscape towards the Atlantic Ocean.
Constructed in 1990, the villa extends over approximately 251 m² and retains many of its original elements. While it requires substantial renovation, including structural repairs to the roof, with estimated works of around €300,000, this should be viewed not simply as a cost but as an opportunity to create a residence tailored to contemporary standards while preserving its traditional Portuguese identity.
The first floor forms the heart of the home. Two bedrooms are complemented by a living room with fireplace, a separate dining area, a fully independent kitchen and an office that could also serve as an additional bedroom or studio. From the kitchen, access leads directly to a barbecue patio.
On the ground floor, the property includes an additional bedroom, storage areas and a bathroom. Given its independent layout, this level could potentially be reconfigured into a self-contained apartment, subject to the necessary planning permissions and technical assessment. This flexibility may be particularly appealing for extended family accommodation, guest use, or rental purposes.
Several bathrooms have already been renovated, providing a useful starting point for the wider refurbishment programme.
One of the property's defining features is its elevated position. The upper floor enjoys sea views, while the existing structure could potentially accommodate a rooftop terrace with a pergola, subject to approval.
Outside, the mature garden offers generous space for landscaping, recreational areas and a generous swimming pool, where permitted. A covered carport accommodates two vehicles, with further space to expand parking or construct a detached garage.
This villa presents a project with architectural substance and considerable redevelopment potential. Buyers seeking a traditional Algarve property with generous land, sea views and the opportunity to shape the result may find this an especially compelling proposition within the Lagos market.
