Description
A unique and beautiful home situated in Caldas de Monchique, designed and built in 1938. Its owners have put an extensive amount of care and work in it over the years with various remodeling, always keeping it up to the highest quality. With the pool having just received a complete renovation this idyllic home is the perfect escape into the beautiful and tranquil state of mind that Monchique offers. There are two ponds where water lilies and goldfish live, surrounded by various fruit trees and palms and a covered alleyway with seating under the vines offering the perfect area to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The house is divided into 3 levels, each level having access to the outdoors. When first entering the home, you’re greeted by a gallery with high ceilings and a beautiful staircase that will lead you to the living and kitchen area. The top floor has 3 en-suite bedrooms and an open reception area. There is a large balcony coming off the master bedroom that allows you to overlook your own natural greenhouse of a backyard. When you descend the spiral staircase, you arrive in the living room that is accompanied by a terrace overlooking the pool and a small bar under the staircase taking perfect advantage of the space. There is a fireplace in the large living room, which flows dynamically into a separate area of a movie and entertainment space and guest bathroom. On the final floor there is a fully equipped space with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and small living room. This space can be used as a separate apartment as it has its own entrance or as an addition to the rest of the house. There is a garage, with parking available for 2 cars.
About 25 minutes north of the magnificent beaches and golf courses of the western Algarve, you will find 39 hectares of serenity in the hills cut by streams, also known as the "Garden of the Algarve".
The village of Monchique stands at 458 meters high, simple and beautiful, as if to show much more of what the Algarve region can offer besides its beautiful beaches and blue sky. The termal village of Caldas de Monchique is located 6 km south of Monchique and 18 km north of Portimão. It is also about 52 minutes from the sumptuous beaches of the Vicentine Coast (to the west) and offers residents and visitors alike a unique combination of lush vegetation, historic 19th century buildings, cultural heritage and a thermal spa.
Recently, the local authorities launched the Renature Monchique project to promote the recovery of the ecosystems in harmony with the rest of the Algarve region - which remains Portugal's top holiday destination. Private investors have invested several million of euros in renovating the tourism offer, raising standards and the wellness offer of this region.
