Right in the heart of Praia Verde stands this unique single-storey property with three bedrooms – a genuine beach house with a character all of its own, where architecture, nature and the sea blend in a unique way that lends it a rare sense of privacy and intimacy. With a gross floor area of 125 m², the property is situated on a generous plot of approximately 780 m². Here, proximity to the sea does not mean sacrificing tranquillity; on the contrary, the house seems to be carefully tucked away amongst the natural surroundings and the dunes. The house was rebuilt in the late 1970s by a German architect and still retains the relaxed, timeless character of traditional beach cottages. It is a house designed for this location and this way of life, where the materials and architecture form a natural harmony. Inside, the south-facing living room, measuring around 30 m², opens out onto the sea through large windows, allowing natural light and the landscape to form part of everyday life. Two of the three bedrooms also face south and have sea views, whilst the third, facing west, has an en-suite bathroom. The kitchen, which is separate from the living room, has been refurbished and now features a modern, functional design. The windows have been replaced with double glazing and fitted with thermolacquered shutters, ensuring greater comfort without compromising the original style. The marble flooring and wooden interior ceilings enhance the authentic and welcoming character of this house. Outside, a sheltered, west-facing terrace offers the perfect setting for long late afternoons and for enjoying the sea in complete privacy. The property features a gate with direct access to the beach. From the house, a flight of steps leads down to the Atlantic without having to cross any roads or rely on a car. The beach is literally on your doorstep. This is a property for those seeking something that cannot easily be replicated: an exceptional location, privacy, direct contact with nature and a special connection with the sea, whilst preserving the authentic character of a true beach house.  We also have a specialist team to guide you through the entire purchase process, providing support in choosing the mortgage solution best suited to your needs.
