Contemporary Living above the Hills

Description

As the landscape opens out, the hills above Loulé reveal a setting where countryside and coastline meet. Perched in this elevated position, this contemporary residence enjoys far-reaching views across the Algarve countryside towards the sea, while remaining within easy reach of Loulé, the golf courses and the beaches. Inside, the house has been designed around space, natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors. Arranged across three levels, generous living spaces open onto terraces, gardens and the pool, with broad glazed openings and contemporary glass balustrades allowing the surrounding landscape to remain part of the experience. The ground floor forms the heart of the home, with an open-plan kitchen and sitting area opening onto a front terrace and a private rear walled garden. A second, impressive living room extends directly towards the pool terrace, with a separate dining room connecting the main reception spaces. Two spacious guest bedrooms complete this level, both with fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms, with one opening onto a private balcony and the other onto the garden. Upstairs, the master suite includes a private balcony, dressing area and ensuite bathroom with a bath. A fourth bedroom opens onto a generous entertaining terrace with a built-in BBQ, providing an inviting setting for outdoor dining and evenings overlooking the landscape.

This level also includes a two-car garage with internal access, laundry room and utility storage.
