Amenities and special features of this house

Very old single storey rustic house, pre-dating 1951, of aprox. 64m2 of total built surface, nestled South of a 469 m2 plot of land. The house faces the first line of the ocean, 30 meters from the beach. Located in one of the most sought-after tourist spots, Praia da Rocha, having only the Atlantic Ocean in front. This location is privileged not only obviously for the stunning unobstructed ocean view but certainly also for the proximity to the beach and for being in a quiet area. It presently (and since the beginning) comprises 3 small bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a small kitchen, and a nice living room. The outside of the house has a spacious annex, which can be used as storage room. The house can be lived as it is or can be totally rebuilt. There is the possibility of building a larger house or apartments. An architectural solution for a brand-new family house, dated Dec/2019, is available. It brings the house North of the plot and suggests 129m2 of footprint and a total reconstruction area of 238m2, in 3 floors plus underground parking for 2 cars - plans available. Leaving the house and being on the beach will be done in slippers, with the bath towel on your shoulders and will take you 2 minutes. It is inserted in a very quiet area, where only pedestrians will pass in front when using the “Falésia Road” to stroll along the coastline from Praia dos 3 Castelos to Praia do Amado. It is indeed a unique property, with the most stunning location, facing east, south, and west, therefore having sun all day long from early morning rise to the most amazing sunsets at the end of the day. No doubt a unique dream spot and an excellent investment opportunity.

Portimão: Location and surroundings of this property

Portimão is the largest city in the Western Algarve with around 60,000 inhabitants and was once a place where boat building, sardine fishing and fish processing were the cities main activities. However, over the passing of the year’s most of this industry has been replaced by tourism, entertainment and services, making it a large residential city, in perfect harmony with its historic pedestrian center and riverside areas. This evolution has transformed the city into an attractive place to shop and admire its history and proximity to the river and the sea. The old and busy fishing docks have also been transformed into a long sidewalk integrated with the wooded squares of the old city where there is no lack of cafés, bars and restaurants to enjoy the excellent gastronomy and traditional pastries, with a clear view. Just 7 minutes from the city center is the iconic Praia da Rocha with its vast beach, crystal clear water and majestic cliffs that extend to the beaches of Amado and Vau. Complementing this postcard are numerous restaurants and beach bars and a nightlife that attract thousands of tourists and curious people every year. Its hub with public transport to various destinations in Portugal and Spain make this city a must-see for travelers and the surrounding population. At a short distance you can also visit the fishing villages of Alvor, Ferragudo and Carvoeiro, the spas of Monchique, Lagos (the city of the discoveries) and also Sagres. Faro airport is only 45 minutes away. Lisbon and Seville are roughly the same distance from Portimão (2H30).
