About Torralta

Get to know the property

This stunning property has recently completed an excellent renovation. Modern yet inviting, and incorporating many highly stylised additions this is a property that commands a viewing to fully appreciate the attention to detail bestowed by the owner.

Proudly sitting at the apex of Lagos in Torralta, and enviously within a short distance of a cluster of the region's best beaches, the location is also just a 15 minute walk to Porto de Mos beach or the bustling town of Lagos and it's many amenities.

Lagos is a city seeing rapid growth within a country that achieved the 2nd largest growth in the EU in 2022.

Charming Lagos is an ancient maritime town with over 200 years of history. One of the most visited parts of Portugal, this small city retains it’s sense of identity proudly. The hustle and bustle of the mazy, sloping Old Town blends trendy bars and boutiques with family run fish restaurants and historic architecture. Throw in the surfer culture, marina, stunning beaches and adventure sports outlets and you gain an idea of the eclectic mix only Lagos can provide.

Tourism is positively thriving post-covid, and not just in the Summer months. Due to the mild Winters the many nearby International standard Golf courses close by guarantee a steady flow of tourists, and the growing number of ‘Digital Nomads’ keeps numbers high year round.

To the West lie idyllic fishing villages and coastal towns, national parks, rugged cliffs, and the iconic town of Sagres - the South West tip of Europe.

To the East is the larger city of Portimao, the Monchique mountains and more beaches of jaw-dropping beauty.

The semi-detached townhouse is at the top of a secluded avenue and free from heavy traffic flow. A low wall separates the paved area in front of the house from the quiet street. In previous years a lawn was prevalent and is easily achievable once more according to taste. Of note here is there is a water source currently not in use but could be utilised as a front garden water feature.

The secure front door (reassuring, even though Portugal is one of the World's safest countries) opens into the hugely impressive and welcoming ground floor area. Features of note include the mightily impressive woodburner in the corner, double sliding patio doors providing access to the outside front yard, a mini bar and wine fridge and the highly stylised wall decor. The sunken LED controllable light system coupled with the warm glow of the woodburner gives opportunity to create an ambience of choice.

The breakfast bar divides the living room from the flawless kitchen and the granite topped surfaces permeate. Stacked with all the mod-cons, fitted appliances include Samsung microwave and fridge, Cata full size hood fan with high rate exhaust, Bosch oven and 5 burner stove and easy-load raised dishwasher. The double sink has a pull out spray hose and running filtered water. There is also running filtered water above gas cooktop. Other features are soft close drawers and cabinets, lazy susan, LED cabinet lighting and an automated skylight with weather sensor to automatically close should it rain!

The washer and dryer are conveniently tucked away around the inlet to maximise space along with a surprisingly large storage cupboard.

The rear door leads directly out to the exterior area comprising a covered area with kitchenette of stainless steel weatherproof material and LED lighting. The immaculately tiled sun terrace features a security camera and outdoor shower. The BBQ is brickwork and stainless steel grill.

The downstairs WC is tiled in a traditional Portuguese style.

The stairs have movement activated lighting and provide a classy introduction to the upstairs. The bedroom at the rear has floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and is tastefully decorated. The Master bedroom boasts an elegantly tiled balcony with glass railings. As is standard throughout the modern house the room is lit with LED lights and has USB connections. The large patio doors guarantee an abundance of light. Also of note are reversible Air Conditioning and built in wardrobes with mirrored doors.

The bathroom, like everywhere else, is stylish and contemporary. There is an underfloor heating system and heated towel rack, bluetooth ceiling speaker exhaust fan with timer.

Up the next staircase resides the top floor and rooftop access. The space is currently utilised as storage and is fully equipped for a potential extension onto the large rooftop terrace. The necessary infrastructure of plumbing and electrics is ready to go and the approval to change the master building plan has been granted and the building permit for a bedroom and bathroom has been submitted. The views are of the Ocean from 2 sides and also the distant hills from another angle.

The property is double glazed, has a central vacuum system, and LED lighting throughout. The water pipes and electrical wiring are all brand new, as is the electric water heater. There is 8cm of insulation in the exterior walls keeping the heat inside in the Winter but outside in the Summer!

There is also a delightful pool area with lawn and traditionally paved for use of residents.

The recent renovation is truly of the very highest standard and at the top end of modernity. Viewings are highly recommended to fully understand the splendour of design.

The town of Lagos has become the focal point of tourism in the Western Algarve and possesses transport links, beautiful beaches, a stunning Marina, golf courses and more.

The short term rental market is positively thriving and predicted to continue to rise steeply, providing a solid Investment aspect to this wonderful house. Aside from the town being fully booked in high season, it has become hugely popular amongst the ‘Digital Nomad’ community during ‘off season’.
