Golf season is back in swing. What better time to hook a villa next to one of Europe’s premiere golf courses?
Tucked in Portugal’s Algarve region, this charming villa at Quinta do Lago rests on a front line plot adjacent to the San Lorenzo golf course— spanning an incredible 22,927 square feet. Located on prime resort real estate, the property is a mere walking path stroll to the Quinta do Lago beach.

The Quinta do Lago community is a golf haven, where investors from around the world choose to live, vacation or retire. Among the many links, the resort manages three 18-hole golf courses—North, South and Laranjal, each offering a unique golfing experience.
“There is an exciting mixture of members and visitors alike, with various options to play any chosen single or group of courses,” says Jamie Robinson, Quinta do Lago real estate sales director. “Nationality wise, we have an exceptional mixture of residents from all around the globe who bring their unique merits to the club.”

Life at Quinta do Lago is all the more enticing from this iconic home, listed by the resort for $13.2 million. The colossal estate offers open-air living and vistas from virtually every room, overlooking manicured golf greens, the lush nature reserve, distant sandy dunes, and the soothing sea.

Exteriors create a striking first impression—from the imposing, three-tiered architectural façade (with columns and terraces) to the twin curved staircases which descend to landscaped gardens and a private swimming pool.
“The property is a superb family home, with extensive panoramic views out to the Ria Formosa nature reserve and sea beyond,” says Robinson. “The property is also elevated from the golf course offering front line views and great privacy. We believe the new owners will be a family looking for an A1-positioned property within Europe’s finest lifestyle resort.”

The home’s double-height hallway leads to a bright, expansive living room facing the nature reserve. A grand dining room connects to the large designer kitchen (with breakfast nook), spacious built-in cabinets and a functional oven-integrated island. The ground level also includes two guest suites, a glass-walled formal living room, glassed-in office/conference room, a casual TV lounge (with wood cabinets), and a cloak room. All rooms offer access to a large covered terrace perfect for dining al fresco.
Bright, meticulous interiors display marble fireplaces, lavish chandeliers, ornate banisters, wooden doors, and detailed moldings. Up one level, the large master suite boasts a private living lounge, a spacious bathroom, and slider walls opening to south-facing terraces and a roof terrace with panoramic views. There are also two guest suites. The villa’s ground floor is ideal for entertaining—with its game room, home theater, spa and extra bedroom suite. The 2004-built home also has a large sauna, utility area and a double garage.

The estate’s future owner better prepare to hit the links. Rest, relaxation and high-performance golf training awaits at The Campus, a brand new multi-sport training complex. Just steps from the greens, this estate already sounds like a hole-in-one.
“Quinta do Lago has been the standout European resort now for many years,” says Robinson. “The Campus (high-performance sports center) and San Lorenzo (most recent release of new building plot development) are the standout new additions for 2019.”
