Property of the Week: Step Into this Historic Algarve Farmhouse Where Heritage Meets Luxury

Situated in the charming town of São Brás de Alportel, this remarkable four bedroom Algarvian farmhouse offers a unique blend of heritage, elegance, and lifestyle appeal. Offered with no onward chain, the property combines a beautifully preserved main house with a beautifully integrated luxury annex, creating a versatile home ideal for family living, entertaining, or hosting guests independently.

From the moment you enter through the gated entrance, authenticity takes centre stage. High bamboo ceilings, rustic clay tiled floors, and original Portuguese azulejos create warmth and timeless character. The farmhouse kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite worktops, and integrated SMEG appliances.

A true standout feature is the impressive temperature controlled underground wine cellar, with capacity for over 500 bottles, offered fully stocked as part of the sale, a rare addition that will undoubtedly appeal to collectors and entertainers alike.

The reception spaces are rich in history, with an original bread oven, exposed sandstone walls, a traditional fireplace, and an elegant staircase leading to a charming upstairs bedroom featuring a remarkable 14th century oak four poster bed.

The adjoining annex offers exceptional flexibility, with a cathedral ceiling office, mezzanine master suite with en suite bathroom, private rooftop terrace, and additional guest bedroom accommodation.

Outside, the lifestyle offering is equally compelling. A south facing vine covered terrace overlooks the 11 x 5 hand painted saltwater swimming pool with electric cover, while landscaped gardens feature rose beds, shaded courtyards, a beautiful fountain, rare plants, and even a magnificent 2,000 year old carob tree. Authentic handcrafted Murano wall lights add further distinction.

Modern comforts include solar panels, air conditioning, underfloor heating, radiator heating, and alarm security.

Peaceful yet exceptionally convenient, the property is within walking distance of a supermarket and several restaurants, offering the perfect balance between tranquillity and everyday convenience, with the Algarve coast within easy reach.
