House buy in Bensafrim Faro

A stone's throw from the historic resort of Lagos in the Algarve, this completely detached spacious house with a large biological swimming pool is located on an estate of five hectares in an extremely quiet location in the middle of farmlands. The house was built 15 years ago and recently repainted, it was built for private use and only the best quality materials have been used. With a sandy path, you enter the estate via a semi-circular private road, right up to the front door. Through the outside portal, you enter the hall with 100-year-old-stained glass windows and a guest toilet. The living/dining room is divided into two different levels with a generously sized clay stove in the middle. An open kitchen with a bar to the dining room, a dishwasher, an electric oven, a 6-burner gas hob and lots of counter space with glass wall tiles. The kitchen also has a fireplace. Next to the kitchen is a generously sized utility room with space for a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a washing facility for hand washes. On the other side of the living room, you enter another hall with a door to a bedroom. After this hall is the library with a door to a bathroom with a toilet, shower, and sink. Plus a door to a second bedroom/office space. Through a passage in the old wall, you enter the master bedroom with a private bathroom with an oval bath, a separate shower room, a toilet, and a sink. The entire house is tiled with handmade square terracotta floor tiles. The window frames, countertops and bathrooms are largely made of marble and granite with glass wall tiles. With a separate entrance, there is a studio/hobby room that can be turned into a separate living unit with few interventions. The house has terraces in front and behind the house and views over the countryside and the generously sized biological swimming pool. Around the house and the swimming pool are gardens with irrigation systems, in-ground cabling for garden lighting and outdoor taps. There are also two outdoor showers at the swimming pool. Behind the kitchen, the old underground water storage has been converted into a round cellar of approximately 15 square metres with a headroom of three metres. The temperature there is of course very constant and is the ideal place to store renowned Portuguese wines. At the bottom of the land is a brick garage with space for the car, tractor, workshop and lots of storage space. Furthermore, the land is full of almond, fig, olive and carob trees. The village of Bensafrim is within walking distance (1 km) and has two shops, three restaurants and five cafes. The city of Lagos with its beautiful beaches is only 8 km away and the famous rugged west coast, the surfer’s paradise, is 15 km away as the crow flies. Faro airport, with direct flights to many cities, including in the Netherlands, is an hour's drive away.
