The villa is built at exactly the level for the views to be visible through all the large patio window when seated inside. Five minutes from Silves, eight minutes from Portimao and the nearest golf course, five minutes from the motorway, with beaches only fifteen minutes drive. One of the Algarve´s most captivating yet convenient locations, close to Silves. 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 can´t just create one like you can a new house. New building regulations would not even allow a house to built here now.
