Farm – Odeceixe, Faro

Description

Located in the Algarve, in the heart of the Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park, between the Atlantic Ocean, rolling green hills and one of the most preserved and exclusive areas in Southern Europe, this extraordinary 10-hectare estate represents a rare combination of privacy, nature, comfort, authenticity and lifestyle. Just 350 metres from the magnificent Costa Vicentina coastline, where the scent of the sea breeze naturally drifts across the property and blends with the aromas of wild Cistus flowers and Mediterranean vegetation, this unique private retreat was designed to offer an exceptional experience of tranquillity, well-being and connection with nature. The view stretches endlessly towards the horizon, where the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean meets the sky. Here, silence, nature and comfort coexist in perfect harmony. Set in one of the Algarve's most privileged locations, the property stands out not only for its proximity to the sea and the scale of the land, but also for the harmonious way in which discreet luxury, architecture, lifestyle and nature merge into a truly unique concept. The property underwent a complete reconstruction and extensive renovation, carefully designed to create a distinctive residential and hospitality destination focused on comfort, exclusivity and sensory experience. The entire estate was conceived to provide a unique living, retreat and hospitality experience, and is fully prepared to operate as a boutique hospitality project, wellness retreat, eco retreat, equestrian tourism estate or exclusive countryside tourism destination. The main house unfolds in a fluid and luminous layout, featuring generous open-plan social areas where the living and dining rooms, approximately 70 sqm in size and with dual orientation, extend naturally onto magnificent terraces facing south, east and west, offering open views over the gardens, rolling hills and the Atlantic horizon. Every evening, the sunset paints the property in warm colours, creating an atmosphere that is both unique and deeply captivating. The kitchen, designed to meet the highest standards, combines functionality, comfort and top-of-the-range equipment, allowing sophisticated culinary experiences in an environment that is simultaneously elegant and relaxed. The main residence features 7 en-suite bedrooms, all carefully designed to ensure maximum comfort, privacy and a permanent connection to the outdoors through the surrounding terraces and gardens. Each bedroom also benefits from direct exterior access, allowing for independent and discreet use. Complementing the residential component, the property also includes 2 fully equipped and independent studio apartments, ideal for guests, staff accommodation or tourism purposes. A lower-ground level space of approximately 70 sqm, filled with natural light and opening onto a small private terrace, currently incorporates a private sauna, reinforcing the wellness and retreat atmosphere that defines the estate today. This area could also be adapted into a private spa, wine cellar, tasting room, multimedia lounge, library, reading room or private meeting space. Every detail of the property conveys comfort, authenticity and understated sophistication, from the organic pathways crossing the gardens, to the noble construction materials and the many outdoor living spaces thoughtfully designed to slow down, breathe and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Traditional Algarvian materials were carefully integrated into the project, including regional wall finishes, natural stone washbasins and terraces paved with traditional Santa Catarina tiles, one of the Algarve's most iconic artisanal elements. On the southern side of the main house lies a spacious outdoor terrace designed for dining and social gatherings, framed by the pool gardens. Outside, the property offers a truly unique atmosphere. An elegant outdoor event and lounge area was created using reclaimed sailboat sails as natural canopies, establishing a sophisticated yet relaxed environment deeply inspired by the Algarve coastal lifestyle. The infinity pool, finished in natural schist stone and measuring approximately 70 sqm, enjoys all-day sun exposure and unobstructed views over the hills and the sea, creating a setting of absolute tranquillity. A modern energy recovery system allows the pool water to be heated efficiently and sustainably. Adjacent to the pool is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with wood-fired oven, barbecue and natural stone countertops, perfect for long afternoons, al fresco dining and memorable gastronomic experiences. In an independent area of the estate there is also a versatile 110 sqm multi-purpose pavilion equipped with kitchen, bathroom and shower facilities, currently prepared for yoga, meditation, pilates, gym activities, private events, workshops, retreat activities or even a luxury collector's garage. The surrounding gardens blend organically into a true countryside estate composed of organic vegetable gardens, orchards, extensive grazing meadows and three lakes distributed throughout the property. The ecological and landscaping component of the estate presents remarkable biodiversity, with countless flowers, aromatic herbs, fruit trees and carefully preserved habitats welcoming animals of various sizes as well as multiple bird species. The stables, measuring approximately 130 sqm and with capacity for up to eight horses, offer excellent standards of comfort, functionality and hygiene. The grazing meadows, extending over more than 5,000 sqm, harmoniously accommodate the estate's animals, reinforcing the sophisticated and authentic rural atmosphere of this unique property. A river bordering the property on the southwest side creates a wilder and more natural setting while simultaneously offering leisure and contemplation areas. The impressive main lake, measuring approximately 580 sqm and featuring a central SPA island, has been transformed into a true private retreat area and stands today as one of the estate's most striking and exclusive features. The remaining 5 hectares, located on the northern side of the property, are designated for agricultural use and grazing land. The entire technical infrastructure of the estate was designed to guarantee high standards of autonomy, sustainability, efficiency and comfort, including solar energy systems, thermal solutions and advanced water infrastructure. The main residence benefits from: – Completely rebuilt roof with 22 cm 'Termochip' insulation system; – Aluminium window frames with double glazing and thermal insulation; – Modern three-phase electrical system; – Underfloor heating with independent room-by-room control; – Possibility of cooling through the radiant floor system with 16º water circulation; – Solar thermal system supported by LG Inverter heat pumps; – Installed capacity for 800 litres, prepared for expansion up to 1600 litres; – Continuous sanitary hot water circulation system.
