This 3-bedroom villa for sale in Quelfes, Algarve, sits on 2.6 hectares of land just inland from Olhão and the Ria Formosa lagoon. The house is compact at 77 m², but the plot is the real story: 26,480 m² of space, offered at 698,000 EUR, in a part of Portugal where land of this size close to the coast is not easy to come by.
### The Villa and Its 2.6 Hectares
The living area is 77 m², arranged as three bedrooms and one bathroom. That suits a couple, a small family or two couples sharing: easy to keep cool in July, easy to heat in January, easy to lock up and leave between visits. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a restoration project. Finishes, kitchen and bathroom are things to judge in person.
The land changes the picture. At roughly 2.6 hectares, this is far more than a garden. Many people who buy plots like this in the eastern Algarve plant fruit trees, grow vegetables, keep a few animals or simply enjoy the privacy and the silence. The data we have does not list a pool, outbuildings or views, so we won't promise any. What we can do is get you the practical details: boundaries, access road, water supply, what is already growing on the plot.
If you are already picturing a pool, a guest studio or an orchard, remember that anything you add depends on how the land is classified and on municipal planning rules. A Portuguese lawyer or architect should check this before you commit, not after.
