00:04 The Quinta do Lago golf resort community of Almanciol in southern Portugal is out to rival your very best.
00:12 Lagula Vila was built as both an architectural endeavor and a strategic investment by the Quinta do Lago resort to exemplify luxury living.
00:22 It serves as a tangible showcase of what potential investors can expect when considering a property within the resort.
00:29 One glance confirms the villa has served that purpose well.
00:33 Designed by Barcelona-based Lagula Architectus, known for its emphasis on harmony between the built environment and natural surroundings,
00:42 Lagula Vila makes the most of the surrounding tranquil landscape and scenic views.
00:47 The impressive residence spans three floors and has been recently updated to add a sophisticated and welcoming feel throughout the home.
00:55 From high above, the structure appears to be a square divided into fourths, with one quadrant for open-air living and others making up the nearly 7,500 square feet of living space.
01:07 From the ground level, the residence, set amid the manicured hedges and lawn, has a museum-like quality.
01:14 Inside, two-story high ceilings in the main living spaces create gallery-like walls for works of art.
01:21 Massive glass walls connect to terrace space.
01:25 The open-plan layout of the ground floor is augmented by a separate office or TV den and two en-suite bedrooms.
01:33 The sleek kitchen is outfitted with temperature-controlled wine storage, multiple ovens, and a long eat-at island with sink and cooktop.
01:42 A floating staircase leads to the three upstairs en-suite bedrooms, including the primary, which has a balcony overlooking the pool.
01:50 An elevator reaches the upper level as well as the lower floor, which contains an in-home spa, a well-equipped gym, sauna, laundry, wine cellar, sixth en-suite bedroom, and subterranean parking.
02:04 The heated swimming pool juts into the open-air quadrant, which has an outdoor kitchen, outdoor dining room, and terrace extending beyond the four corners to create a sunny lounging platform.
02:15 The home is across the street from the links and close to shops, restaurants, and a supermarket.
02:21 Quinta do Lago Beach, set against the backdrop of Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, is about a three-minute drive away.
