Algarve Property of the Week - A magnificent manor retreat in Maragota.... Directly opposite the Colina Verde golf and hotel resort, home to the renowned Maragota restaurant, is this week's Property of the Week, an impressive 4 + 1 bedroom country home that offers future buyers the chance to leave their personal stamp on many aspects, in particular the garden.

 

The sprawling Quinta boasts uninterrupted panoramic coastal views of the Tavira, Fuzeta, Ria Formosa area.

These can be admired from its elevated position and open pool terrace.

Surrounding the property, the large plot of land (measuring approximately 36,000 square metres) is still rather rural, presenting the opportunity for green-fingered enthusiasts to transform it into something distinct, should they choose to.

To the back of the main building is a carport for two, plus an outdoor laundry and storage room, and a barbeque area.

Also from the back we enter the kitchen, a good-size space, fully equipped, with a rustic country design, its own store room/larder, and a useful breakfast counter.

Right from the kitchen is a roomy hall. Straight-ahead is an open living/dining area, a big room with patio doors to the pool and terrace at each end, and a series of seven smaller windows running along the back wall.

Whilst the living-room has a corner wood-burning stove, at the opposite end in the dining area, an open wrought-iron staircase climbs in another corner to a mezzanine roof conversion, presently used as an office, but is ideal to become a fifth smaller bedroom or a home library. It also has it own large roof terrace as well as access to ample loft space that runs the entire length of the house.

Right from the hallway is a guest bathroom, and left is a long, wide corridor from which four doors lead off.

These four doors all lead to generously sized bedrooms, three of which have patio doors that open directly onto the pool terrace, all having fitted wardrobes and air-conditioning units (as do all rooms).

The first two bedrooms are identical; large in size, having a full-wall of deep, floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, a separate seating area, and en-suite bathrooms.

The third bedroom is another good-size double, with a slightly larger en-suite bathroom, complete with a tub, and the fourth bedroom is a slightly smaller single room, the only room to not comprise an en suite bathroom.

Its privileged location sets this beautiful farmhouse in a league of its own, though it does require a little love and care to personalise the property and bring it up to date.

It is priced at €700,000.00. For more information, contact Bonau & Filho Mediação Imobiliária Ldª on: (+351) 289 791 485, 917 506 365
