Are you dreaming of a holiday home in the Algarve, but would rather live a little further inland than on the crowded coast? Then our property of the week might be just right for you. It is a country house near Lagoa, in the Faro district of the Algarve. Although it is a little off the beaten path, restaurants, shops and other facilities can be reached quickly and easily by car.
The house was built in 1990 and stands on an almost 2,700m2 plot. It has a very rustic style: The exterior walls are whitewashed red and inside the floor is made of natural stone. In addition, there are exposed beams on the ceiling.
The 360m2 living space is spread over two floors. On the ground floor there is a large entrance area which leads directly to the open living and dining area. There you can make yourself comfortable by the fireplace or enjoy a meal together with family and friends. A small storage room adjoins the large kitchen.
In the rear part of the ground floor there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a study and a utility room. Upstairs there is another bedroom and bathroom. An extension on the ground floor could be converted into a separate apartment to accommodate guests.
In the courtyard of the cottage there is a bar with a barbecue area which is perfect for entertaining friends and family. What are you waiting for? This country house in the Algarve is currently for sale at idealista for 395,000 euros. Don't miss this bargain!
