Praia Da Luz, Lagos, Portugal

Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Cama da Vaca, between the charming coastal villages of Burgau and Praia da Luz, this extraordinary rustic chic estate offers one of the Algarve’s most privileged oceanfront settings. Set within 3.3 hectares (7.5 acres) of beautifully landscaped grounds stretching to the sea, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic coastal views, complete privacy and a rare sense of tranquillity.The sea lies just 170 metres away as the crow flies, while winding paths through pine trees, palms and colourful gardens lead to secluded corners designed for relaxation and contemplation. A dedicated Zen area creates the perfect setting for yoga, meditation or simply enjoying the magnificent surroundings with a book in hand.The main villa blends traditional Algarve charm with generous family living. The entrance hall opens onto three bedrooms on the ground floor, two of which are en suite, plus an additional bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious master suite features its own bathroom, a comfortable sitting area and an adjoining room ideal as a dressing room, nursery or private retreat. The upper floor overlooks the impressive lounge below, where a built-in fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. A second mezzanine style area across the lounge, currently without access, offers further potential and could easily be accessed with a spiral staircase.The living spaces downstairs have been designed for both comfort and entertaining, with lovely living room, a separate dining room, a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast snug and utility room. Large doors open directly onto the spectacular pool terrace, where mature pine trees provide natural shade and uninterrupted sea views create an unforgettable backdrop.Outside, the estate truly comes into its own. The elegant oval shaped chlorine swimming pool (approx. 10 x 6 metres) is complemented by a sun heating circulation system, while the covered terrace with its grand marble dining table provides the perfect setting for long Algarve lunches and sunset dinners. A tennis court adds to the lifestyle appeal, although resurfacing with a porous surface would be required for future registration and legalisation.All the interiors retain an authentic Algarve character, with traditional Santa Catarina floor tiles throughout, exposed wooden beams and crisp whitewashed walls creating a timeless rustic elegance. These natural elements beautifully contrast with, and further enhance, the charming hand-painted wall tiles in the kitchen, adding warmth, colour and a truly personal touch to the home.Additional accommodation includes a charming studio apartment converted from the original garage, which remains registered as a garage and could easily be reverted if desired. A former barn has also been transformed into a delightful two bedroom self contained guest cottage with its own terrace and spectacular rooftop terrace overlooking the coastline, an idyllic spot to enjoy Algarve sunsets. The cottage remains registered as a barn and is not included within the habitation licence.The property is equipped for year-round living with air conditioning, gas central heating, mains water, solar panels for hot water and photovoltaic panels for electricity generation. Gas supplies both the cooker and central heating system, while a deactivated borehole remains on the land. Rarely do properties of this scale and privacy become available in such a prime coastal position. While the existing footprint cannot be enlarged, the estate already offers extensive accommodation and exceptional flexibility for a large family home, holiday retreat or entertaining property.Located just 10 minutes from Lagos, one of the Algarve’s most sought-after coastal towns, the property enjoys easy access to stunning beaches, golf courses, international schools including Colégio Internacional do Algarve and Barlavento International School, a vibrant marina, excellent restaurants and a thriving international community.
