A work of architecture you live inCostaneira da Fóia · 344 m² · Private valleySome houses are bought. Some works are collected. This belongs to the second category.Imagined by acclaimed British architect Adam Richards and set on the Costaneira da Fóia, this estate does not seek attention — it commands its own valley with the stillness of something that needs no introduction. Established oak and eucalyptus groves frame the grounds; a natural mountain stream moves through them unhurried. The architecture emerges from the landscape as if it has always been there.Inside the 309 m² main house, generous ceiling heights and abundant natural light create an atmosphere few interiors in the Algarve can match. The 37 m² living room flows naturally into the gallery corridor and kitchen — spaces that invite life, not mere admiration. The 3 suites, each exceeding 22 m², and bathrooms finished in premium materials, hold the same promise: comfort without artifice.Outside, terraces and porches in flamed granite and traditional Portuguese stone create sequences of space that alternate between enclosure and open contemplation — alfresco dining, the private pool, the valley unfolding in silence below.Set apart from the main residence, the 35 m² guest cottage is, in itself, a complete retreat — for close family, trusted friends, or a prestige rental use.Built in 2008 on the footprint of a traditional stone ruined farmhouse, and refined in 2025, the property unites traditional stone mastery with contemporary engineering: double-layered walls with high-density insulation, Gris Patine thermal-break aluminium frames, ash wood cabinetry. A finalist at the Grand Designs Awards in the International Category, the design was subsequently published in 21st Century Houses: 150 of the World's Best (Images Publishing) and Build-On: Converted Architecture & Transformed Buildings (Gestalten, 2009). Self-sufficient in water supply and sanitation — designed for those who value independence as much as design.Five minutes from Monchique. Under thirty from the Algarve coast. Close to everything.
