Plot: approx. 25.000 m2. Construction: covered area approx. 450 m2, built in 2009.
Description: This property can only be described as an architectural masterpiece. A brand-new, never-lived-in villa located in the countryside near the pretty village of Santa Catarina, it is a striking blend of natural materials and glass to create something that is spacious, stunning, and in harmony with its rural surroundings.
Several sections of the property are made entirely from toughened floor-to-ceiling glass, including ceilings and balconies. There are also various glass encased indoor gardens that add to the feel of openness and bringing the outside in. Exposed rock walls have been constructed from indigenous materials found on the plot and from the demolition of the original property. Set on a plot of 24,670 square metres, a five minutes drive from the local village of Santa Catarina, the property is also 10 minutes from the Algarve main A22 motorway and 25 minutes from Faro international airport. The garden surrounding the house is landscaped, has large lawn areas and is automatically irrigated. It comprises a beautiful salt-water infinity pool that is designed as a three-quarter circle, cut into by a square decked area. Through the main door visitors are met with a light and bright main hall, to the left of which is a study room and an indoor garden. This allows floods of light to stream into the entrance hall that is floored with chunky cobble-stones and has thick whitewashed walls with decorative alcoves. Down a few steps and left is the guest wing. This area has been designed to be completely self-contained, private, and has its own access from the exterior as well as a decked courtyard. It can be closed off or opened up to the rest of the house by a concealed sliding door. The guest wing comprises a large open-plan living/dining area and a kitchenette that is chic and modern, with glossy white cupboards, integrated appliances, and a dark granite worktop. The roof as is most of the roofing throughout the property is very high and made of thick beams and canes. Off the guests living area is the first en-suite bedroom. All bedrooms have ample fitted wardrobe space and walk-in showers made from different types of exotic stone. From the living area and up a floating staircase, made from chunky wood treads and glass side, is the second en-suite bedroom. This bedroom has a private glass-walled balcony. Downstairs is a third room that is ideal as a large office or artists studio and has its own separate storage room. Back into the main hall and right is a large guest bathroom, designed with curved burnt-orange mosaic walls that frame an unusual, modern freestanding tap and basin. Behind one of the curved walls is another walk-in shower. The main entrance hall is designed almost entirely with glass; to the front there is a large, floor-to-ceiling window that looks out onto a decorative rock-wall, from the top of which hangs a customized bell. This window connects to the main entrance with a glass ceiling. All of the glass used in the construction is self-cleaning and UV protective. Also right from the entrance is the kitchen, a generous-sized room that, like the kitchenette, is designed with glossy white cupboards, integrated top-of-the-range appliances, and unusual pencil-lead colour granite worktops with shimmery red swirls. As well as incorporating a central cooking island the kitchen also has a separate laundry/utility room, a lovely panoramic window, two doors that lead out onto an open-air cooking area, and an exposed Santa-Catarina brick arched roof. The exterior cooking area comprises a large fireplace with a fully-working chimney so barbeques and fires can be enjoyed any time of year. From the kitchen (or straight ahead from the entrance hall) is a vast, open-plan living/dining area that is completely fronted with glass and has a large wood-burning stove set in an expose rock feature wall. There is also a separate storage cupboard underneath a flight of stairs that leads to the master bedroom suite. While the main sleeping area has two doors that lead onto private balconies one of which has decked flooring, the other having glass walls it also comprises a separate dressing room that has its own window to let in ample natural light, and a beautiful en-suite bathroom. The bathroom walk-in shower is styled with exotic Indian rainforest natural stone and has a free-standing tub, at the foot of which is a long vertical window and across from which is a wide horizontal window, at bathtub-level, so stunning scenery can be enjoyed from all angles while taking a soak. Throughout the property there is air-conditioning and under-floor heating, as well as automatic shutters on all windows. A central alarm system can be set for the property as a whole, or to the main living area or guest area individually.
