An exceptional 3-bedroom plus 3-bedroom property, skillfully adapted from a traditional mountain farmhouse, designed by an acclaimed architect—representing a hidden sanctuary with panoramic views over its private valley, featuring a serene mountain stream and extensive woodland populated with eucalyptus, oak, and fruit trees. Despite its secluded setting, the estate is conveniently located just a five-minute drive from the charming town of Monchique and within half an hour of Portimão and the stunning Algarve coastline. The property encompasses two adjoining plots totaling 13.3 acres (5.4 hectares), offering the potential to develop an additional small residence on one of the plots, which includes a converted former dwelling and a versatile outhouse currently used for storage—ideal for transformation into an artist’s studio. Historically a working farm, the estate boasts impressive stone terraces dating back centuries, harmoniously blending rustic charm with modern elegance. The main residence comprises two buildings: a contemporary-designed main house that seamlessly integrates original farmhouse features with high-quality finishes and premium materials, and a charming guest cottage renovated in the traditional style. The main residence features three en-suite bedrooms, a mezzanine level, a study, a storage room, an open-plan living and dining area flooded with natural light, a guest WC, and architecturally inspired hallways. The guest cottage offers a cozy lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom on the ground floor, with an additional bedroom in the loft space. The property is self-sufficient with its own water source from a natural spring on the estate. Outdoors, multiple terraces provide stunning vantage points to enjoy views of the lush valley and architectural details, complemented by a charming small swimming pool converted from an old water tank. This unique property presents an excellent opportunity both as a private retreat and as a base for a boutique rural tourism venture, with further development potential. Additional photographs of the cottage and outbuildings are available. The features and amenities are subject to verification and agreement between the vendor and purchaser. EPC rating: E.
