Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Faro

Once an old ruin at the end of a dirt road, this stunning house is now completely encompassed by nature, nestled among hundreds of mature olive, almond and cork trees.The property has a sister property nearby that breaths the same modern and minimalist atmosphere.The exceptional architecture is dominated by strong lines, white walls and concrete, creating a bold effect in the natural environment. The construction opens itself to its surroundings through large windows and doors, rooftop terraces, multiple patios and a large courtyard that benefits from a refreshing semi-enclosed pool.Local materials were sourced for the handmade doors, windows and shutters, in addition to the use of natural stone for the pool, kitchen counters, sinks and benches.The 4 bedrooms are modern and minimal yet refined in design and decor. The white walls and concrete floors create a neutral palette, with the addition of wood and textiles to add warmth.The kitchen features a large cooking island, while the outdoor patio space is strategically placed nearby for enjoying dinners outside. The relaxing sound of water from the fountain makes it the perfect place to hang out, read a book or just enjoying the sun.On the upper level, the living room connects with the back garden and a huge rooftop terrace with stunning view.A truly unique property amidst the softness of the Algarvian hills.Located close to Santa Barbara de Nexe where you can find all kinds of amenities and services such as supermarkets, cafes, pastry shops, markets and schools.
