A rare architectural gem born from the masterful transformation of a historic windmill, this semi-circular residence in Malveira da Serra is nothing short of extraordinary. Set on a generous 938 sqm plot, the property commands exceptional panoramic views stretching to the ocean, complemented by an infinity pool, five bedrooms, a generous living room, and custom-made furniture of the highest quality throughout.

Warm solid wood, hand-crafted zellige floors, and meticulous attention to detail define the interiors. Outside, the ocean-facing infinity pool terrace, a sheltered dining space with outdoor kitchen, and private rear gardens offer multiple distinct atmospheres.
