For Sale: Villa In West Algarve..

Marmelete 203 m2 constructed 1400 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. A small paradise, this partly new built, partly restored farmhouse with far views over forested hills towards both the south and west coast of the Algarve. Above the house there is a hill with a forest, underneath various terraces. The nearest terraces are laid out as a beautiful garden with flowers, herbs and fruit trees. The farmhouse has a lovely spacious kitchen, storage, living with 3 reception areas, huge garage, open hallway and roof terrace and now 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (option for more). Very special is the heating system, which gave the house an unparalleled comfort at very low cost. The property has its own water, the best drinking water quality, from 3 separate wells, which means that the running costs are amazingly low. Layout: an asphalted road leads to the property. At the right side of the road a forest with eucalyptus and pine trees leads up the hill. At the left side a wall with 2 pillars is the access to the lower part of the plot. A driveway leads down to the garage on the west side of the farmhouse. Here you have ample parking space. On the huge terrace in front you find the entrance door into the hallway. To the left you find a bedroom, ahead the stairway to the 1st floor and to the right the cosy spacious kitchen. Doing the dishes with the views from the windows here becomes a genuine treat. At the rear of the kitchen there is another hallway with to the left the garage, a storage room and a pretty bathroom. At the right side you find the living room, first a long stretched area with at the end a mezzanine. Two steps down towards the front of the house you find a cosy lounge, an arch connects to the 2nd lounge or library where you also find the huge fireplace. On the 1st floor a spacious hallway with bench connects 2 bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with Jacuzzi and the roof terrace. A 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom may be created in the garage, but also the technical area behind the house offers an opportunity for a separate studio. There are 2 mezzanines which may offer extra places to sleep. Two solar panels heat the whole house comfortably. On the coldest and darkest days and nights you use the fireplace to support the heating of the same water tank. This is connected to a wall heating system in all rooms (built in behind the plaster), the under floor heating and the towel radiators in the bathrooms. Furthermore the house is very well insulated, has durable double glazed windows and doors, and has a breathing roof structure which prevents mould in the house. The sewage water is cleant through a specially approved bio system and is used in the garden.
