Bordeira (Aljezur)
A unique opportunity to acquire this exquisite property, with equestrian facilities, nestled in the middle of nature but with all the convenience of being close to the historic castle of the city of Aljezur and with easy access to the famous Marina of the city of Lagos.
The property consists of 3 plots of land totalling 25,250m2 fully fenced, the main residence with 4 bedrooms plus a separate 1 bedroom apartment +1 adjoining bedroom and a detached 3 bedroom cottage on the neighbouring plot.
Main Residence:
The property boasts a unique sophisticated style with striking and impressive features. The most spectacular atrium, with high walls of natural stone and marble sourced from old churches in northern Portugal, stands as the center of the house, connecting to the kitchen, dining room and family room, while enjoying the view from one of the garden terraces and the pool. Natural light from the sky lights illuminates the house.
As the house was previously run as a luxury bed & breakfast, the property offers 5 spacious suites, all with independent access and large, well-appointed en-suite bedrooms and walk-in closets or dressing rooms. Each suite has an outdoor area, offering several nooks to sit and enjoy the sound of the birds, from access to the garden from the ground floor suites and exceptional views of nature from the balconies.
The living area communicates with the dining room and kitchen. The open plan style is social and gives a sense of space with multiple access points to the gardens and grounds.
There is a rustic wine cellar, with stone walls that also allow for additional storage.
The property is heated with a modern internal wall and floor heating system with solar panels and backup gas or wood burning stove. There is air conditioning in all rooms.
For water, there are 2 boreholes, one 90m deep and the other 25m supply to the equestrian facilities. The property is also conveniently connected to the water and electricity network and fiber internet.
The large main terrace, overlooking the garden and pool, offers a shaded sheltered area, with the option to also soak up the warm sun.
The pool is heated by solar energy and is generously sized.
An outdoor kitchen built in Mediterranean style provides an excellent place to cook and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle that this special part of the world offers.
There are plenty of features to enjoy as you walk through the landscaped gardens, all of which have been carefully thought out and realized. For example, the shy koi pond offers a tranquil feel and the playground area is built of natural wood, keeping the environment in mind.
Many cork oaks and other trees and shrubs provide subtle shade as you stroll through the grounds that are watered by an irrigation system.
The stables, which in the future may be converted into an additional property, have already been built with this in mind. The primary construction is ready, as well as the pipes for a future kitchen and bathroom.
Currently, this building serves as a shelter for the resident horses.
There is a separate twin bed studio with access to the side of the house. It is fully equipped with a modern kitchen, bathroom and a lovely outdoor area.
The fluidity of the property makes it versatile as a traditional family home, for the purpose for which it is currently intended, or as a business opportunity.
There are still currently used as equestrian facilities. The fenced paddocks have water and irrigation, there are two open stables and a separate arena.
The potential acquisition of the neighboring house, a small studio, is also available for discussion.
Detached Cottage:
On the adjoining neighbouring plot, which has been annexed by the current owner, it offers perfect accommodation for guests or family. The property, with three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, has high ceilings and a large living area. There are solar panels for water heating and radiators for central heating. Although it is a neighbor of the main residence, the house offers a lot of privacy and shares the quiet and serene surroundings of the entire farm.
