This exceptional property has extraordinary potential as a rural hideaway for discerning guests, well-being clients, arts practitioners or a large family home. It offers a peaceful space to live and work in, to create and practice in, to rest and get away from it all, and as a base for explorations of the region.

Set in a huge plot of land with mature trees and amazing views to the coast, it is just a 15-minute drive away from the picturesque town of Tavira and only 20 minutes from the coast and its wide, sandy beaches. The large studio and atelier, the open-air theatre and the three separate cottages offer the opportunity to host, for example, workshops and cultural events.

The main house and three cottages have all been designed by the artist who owns the property. Each building has its individual style, but they all have large window fronts to fill them with light and air.

The main house has an octagonal layout, with a large living area on the ground floor and an equally spacious en-suite bedroom on the first floor. A small, but well-organised kitchen is located just off the living room. Two hallways on opposite sides of the living room lead to the studio and atelier respectively. The studio with its wooden floor and high ceiling would be the ideal space for dance or yoga classes, performances and rehearsals.

The three cottages are spread around the garden and are very private. They each have their own kitchen and BBQ. The swimming pool has wood decking on two sides as well as a tiled terrace offering both shade and sun. This area is surrounded by mature trees and tropical plants, so it is very private but also has views onto the unspoilt countryside.

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a property with a total living space of more than 400m² in an area of increasing touristic interest where building is tightly regulated.
