The area of Alfeiçao consists of a collection of large houses built in the past 20 years intermingled with vernacular farms and cottages. It is on the south facing hills 3.5 kilometres west of Loule. Alfeiçao is away from the main road, is quiet and peaceful ensuring a calm lifestyle yet is close to all facilities needed for full enjoyment of the Algarve experience. The sea and countryside views are spectacular, nestled as you are in a wooded hillside.
House description
Casa da Colina was constructed 20 years ago for a discerning British client who had the foresight also to buy the plot to the south of the house to ensure he ‘owned the view’ for evermore. This additional plot is now part of the one registered property and may not be divided.
The house’s foundations and construction are solid. There has been no cracking over the years often associated with poorly built properties and the ½ inch cork board wall insulation throughout was novel at the time and has paid dividends as the need for anything other than low level heating and cooling will not be necessary.
The plot size in enviable allowing a double garage and workshop to face the driveway and more room under the swimming pool may be developed into office space or additional workshop space as the new owner sees fit.
The property was purchased by the developer in March 2008. A full remodelling scheme was devised with Studio ArTe Design with offices in Silves and the Netherlands, a company that in Portugal specialises in Algarvean properties and their tasteful reconstruction and remodelling. This is a fine example of skills as the new house exemplified comfortable country living from within a tasteful and chic interior.
The buyer may specify his/her kitchen style and design (help will be given if required) and the final choice is gas or log burning fireplace.
The price of €775.000 is direct from the developer and has been reduced by €100.000 to reflect the current market conditions.
