3 Bedrooms - Villa - Algarve - For Sale

Charming three bedroom country villa - Now reduced to 325,000.
One of the Algarves most captivating yet convenient locations, close to Silves.
Facing south, overlooking a tidal river with uninterrupted 180 degree views of a picture perfect valley, low mountains and sweet smelling citrus orchards. Short, direct access drive from main road. Five minutes from Silves, eight minutes from Portimao and the nearest golf course, five minutes from the motorway, with beaches only fifteen minutes drive.
5,000 sq.m. sheltered plot. Lounge, dining room and study (see the photos on its side for the view from the desk); kitchen with covered breakfast terrace positioned to catch the morning sun; utility room; three double bedrooms (no stairs); two bathrooms; large 11 x 5m. pool; extensive outside terraces with BBQ and attractive easily maintained gardens including many mature trees such as two magnificent palms. The large field directly in front is surrounded by the river (navigable to Portimao) and is either cultivated (sunflowers, sweetcorn, hay etc) or left as grazing for herds of cows, horses, sheep and goats. In the summer it often has a flock of hundreds of resting storks.
Indeed, it is a nature lovers paradise with resident nightjars, hoopoes, azure-winged magpies, woodpeckers, kingfishers, waxbills, golden orioles herons and buzzards, not to mention seasonal visitors like bee-eaters. Swifts and red-rumped swallows sweep over the pool to scoop water watched by wagtails bobbing round the perimetre. If you were buying the land to build, it would carry a very large premium. Plots such as this are very limited and you cant just create one like you can a new house. New building regulations would not even allow a house to built here now.
There is a wood-burning stove in the lounge and heating panels in all the main rooms. The villa is built at exactly the level for the views to be visible through all the large patio window when seated inside.
