Set within the established surroundings of the PENINA Golf Resort, in the Parish of Alvor, this outstanding PENINA 112 V5 detached mansion recently built (in 2009), elevates, to very high standards, the concept of a distinguished family residence in one of the Algarve's most respected golf communities.
The property combines a stunning classic architectural coherence, very carefully selected materials and a clever layout that balances extreme comfort with cultivated living.
On a 4,390 m² (47.254 sq ft) plot, one of the biggest in the resort, this villa offers 632 m² (6.803 sq ft) of built area and its layout across 530 m² (5.701 sq ft) leaves 3,860 m² (41.549 sq ft) free for a magnificent 7 x14 m (75 x 150 ft) private swimming pool, a clubhouse and mature landscaped and immaculately maintained green spaces.
At the far end of the garden, we will be directly facing the start of the 5th hole (Par 5) of the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course, from where we can watch the golfers practising their swing and starting shot.
Also at that far end of the garden, there is a gate exiting directly from this plot to the green, through which the owners’ family can drive their buggy to get around the lawn or simply pop over to the Hotel for a drink or a leisurely meal.
This project features elegant proportions and detailing, enhanced by the extensive premium Monchique hardwood, natural stone and the high-quality ceramics, well defining the spacious interiors and the overall lasting quality that are forever characteristics of a discrete luxury atmosphere. Large French windows draw in loads of natural light from morning to sunset.
Right at the entrance, this property offers on the right a 41 m2 (441 sq ft) enclosed garage big enough for 2 cars and storage, as well as on the left a huge carport designed for 3 cars.
Two floors (ground and 1st) create totally independent areas, accessed by a “U” shape designed elegant staircase, crowned by a square vaulted very high ceiling, built by hand, brick by brick.
Ground floor offers 3 enormous and distinguished living spaces: an elegant central and symmetrical master with fireplace, with 53 m2 (570 sq ft), a cozy TV room on the left with 24 m2 (258 sq ft) and a games room equipped with snooker table, huge sofa, large TV screen and surround music on the right with 41 m2 (441 sq ft).
This North-East wing also offers a bespoke and unique 21 m2 (226 sq ft) Kitchen with cupboards and worktops designed by LOXLEY and hand made in Sheffield (UK), with all built-in appliances, including a 100 cm free-standing stainless steel range cooker from the Professional Plus collection (6 burner gas hob & double oven) designed and manufactured by ILVE, SpA in Campodarsego (Italy).
Inside meals will be presented and offered on an elegant 21 m2 (226 sq ft) dining area, with table for 10, full of natural light coming from 2 huge French doors leading both to the pool and garden areas.
This ground floor also offers a nice and very handy laundry room with a lot of important appliances, plus a very nice guest toilet.
3 bedrooms will be found on the South-West area, 2 of which are En-Suite and there is also an independent full bathroom.
The first floor offers two magnificent King size En-Suite bedrooms, each one of them offering huge walk-in closets and both bathrooms being equipped with bathtub and walk-in shower.
The 105 m2 (1.130 sq ft) outside balcony in front, has stunning views over the global PENINA Golf resort and mainly hole nbr 5 right in front. You might just be able to also enjoy views of FootGolf, a game created in 2009, using the same rules and scoring as traditional golf, but played using your feet (and shoes) instead of clubs.
The landscaped grounds provide a setting that offers both royal style pleasure and private surroundings, with the cost control of everlasting beautiful artificial lawns, elegantly combined with mature natural plantings.
The very generous terraces that surround the pool, create multiple outdoor spaces for relaxation, dining, and social gatherings. Outside property lights, together with the pool lights, will offer the owners the delight of long lasting warm Algarvian nights.
Full extent domotics (home automation) and mobile phone remote control of the house security through cameras, will allow you to check each and every critical function at the property. Solar panel water heating is installed and available. Comfort has also been approached through underfloor heating, air conditioning and fireplace, creating a pleasant indoor climate all year-round and with a highly efficient temperature control.
For those who value privacy and space, the size of this PENINA 112 plot offers a level of comfort that is increasingly difficult to find within established Algarve developments. It gives this property a clear advantage over so many others.
And, not to forget, the PENINA Golf resort has long occupied an important position within the Algarve's golfing landscape. This area has built a reputation for low-density residential planning, mature green spaces and a tranquil environment. While golf remains a defining feature, many residents are equally drawn to privacy, security and convenient location, inside one of the very few golf developments where condo fees have zero cost.
Nevertheless, property ownership comes with distinct advantages, such as preferential discounts like at club house, buggies and trolleys, tennis and F&B restaurants.
And owners will surely appreciate the proximity to respected international and bilingual schools (Nobel International School close to Porches and with a private Bus passing in front of the PENINA Hotel, the Deutsche Schule Algarve close to Silves, etc.).
There are also healthcare private facilities close by (like the former and well known Private Hospital in Alvor, now member of the CUF Health Group) and everyday services.
Not to forget the typical bars and restaurants that make Alvor such a special and desired fisherman’s village, making the property well-suited as either a permanent residence, a second home or an investment.
