Casa Chaminés is a marvellous bungalow style house with stunning views across a Nature Reserve to the sea. A special feature is the beautiful sunsets. All the amenities are close by ,with riding stables, golf courses, the Marina of Albufeira and the sea only 10 min. away. The best shopping mall in the Algarve at Guia is just up the road.The total area of the estate is approx. 6000m2 sloping down six fully mature garden terraces and a small valley. The whole offers total privacy behind high palm trees and many other indegenous trees and shrubs.The area of its location is considered locally as ¿ecological¿.From the main terrace your view takes in the opposite unspoilt hillside, down to a lagoon with bird sanctuary, and over sand dunes to the sea. The roof terrace view (360 degrees) is just wonderful.This is the Algarve as it was ¿ unspoilt and natural- and yet close to the sea and local facilities. The Casa de Chamines estate has been fully developed by the present owners over several years. The villa is unique in that it has been divided by two sisters into two self-contained units, which are still interconnecting by a patio. This would be ideal for two families to share or a guest suite .But it can also very easily be operated as one house. The living space is generously laid out and open plan (290 m2), yet there are cosy areas for intimate evenings as the round ¿dome¿ with fire place under a high cupola. The finest materials have been used, many arches and in stone built white niches and shelves are creating a wonderful Moorish ambiance. The villa has in total 5 bedrooms all en-suite (more are possible with some change). The tiles in the bathrooms are framed with hand-painted borders as is the Azulejo picture in one of the oversize showers. There is, of course, a lovely swimming pool with a sauna adjacent. Other features are a carport for two cars; a further small house used as utility area and storage, a further exterior kitchen with small wine cellar and a generous BBQ area for entertaining. Casa das Chaminés is a villa which has been much loved, a very special property and reluctantly on the market. Algarve at it ´s best !!
