Hidden in a special rural plot, within the centre of Santa Barabara de Nexe - we find this stunning 3+1 Bedroom detached Villa with its own separate Annex. The location is fantastic, offering the privacy, tranquility and feel of a Rural property when in fact its actually walking distance from all of the towns amenities. The property is situated on the brow of a small hill, overlooking the entire southern coastline, with beautiful sea views including that of the famous Ria Formosa.

You enter the Villa through its very own private driveway into a gated plot, with a Garage space enough for 2 cars. Having parked, you walk past a vertical garden separating the car park from the peaceful gardens. alternatively you can walk through the garage and directly into the Annex. The Pool area is a fantastic social space - south facing with ultimate privacy, while still maximising the natural light throughout the day. The Architect has also deisgned the kitchen/living space to naturally flow into the outdoor space. With covered areas to escape the midday heat and making this perfect place to entertain. Stepping inside the villa itself, you will instantly have the feeling of grand space, with a very open plan feel. The Kitchen living room will be a huge open space, flowing directly into the Garden/pool area - making BBQs in the summer that bit easier. The main house will have 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, 1 of which will be en-suite along with a large master upstairs, with an ensuite and private roof terrace overlooking the sea.

A little about Santa Barbara de Nexe:

The village itself is extremely popular with welathy expats and celebrities, drawn here by the stunning views and charming local history. The village which is set on the site of a Bronze Age hill fort, has most essential facilities on the spot, such as newsagents, a market, a post office and a large supermarket, as well as a number of restaurants and bars if you ever fancy dining out, celebrating a special occasion or getting to know the local community. The centre is marked by a well known and picturesque 400 year old church with lovely Bell tower, which can be seen from miles away. Because of this charm, properties in this area benefit from high seasonal occupancy with potentilly sizable returns. Independant Villas in particular do very well during the summer months, often with bookings for a minimum 40% of the year. This combined with a very wealthy expat community willing to long term let, means property prices tend to fetch a premium.

Currently under construction, with works set to be completed at the end of 2022.
