Discover an exceptional villa in Quinta das Raposeiras, above Santa Bárbara de Nexe, offered by QMS Real Estate through the IPK Way Luxury Auction. Registration and viewings are open now, ahead of the live online offer period from 10 to 12 November 2026.
The owners searched the Algarve coast from Tavira to Lagos with one requirement above all others: the view. They found it here.
Set high in Quinta das Raposeiras, this villa looks out across the Algarve hills towards the coast. Terraces open onto the swimming pool, while mature gardens lead past a lily pond and a small footbridge. At sunset, warm evening light brings another dimension to the outlook.
For Rachael, founder of QMS Real Estate, the appeal lies in how these elements come together.
“Some homes impress you with size. This one wins you over with feeling. You arrive and understand very quickly why the owners chose it. The position is elevated, the outlook is wide, and the house, gardens, terraces and pool all work together beautifully.”
Now, prospective buyers have the opportunity to explore the home ahead of its sale through the IPK Way Luxury Auction.
Explore now. Make your offer in November.
The property is available to discover now, with registration, documentation and viewings open ahead of the live online offer period from 10 to 12 November 2026.
Buyers can register through the auction page, access the data room, review the property documentation and arrange a viewing with QMS. This preparation period also gives them the opportunity to ask questions and seek independent legal or professional advice before deciding whether to participate.
As Rachael explains: “A home of this calibre deserves to be truly understood before anyone starts talking about price.”
The defined offer period brings a clear timetable to the sale, while allowing buyers to do their research beforehand.
Understanding the IPK Way Luxury Auction
Presented by QMS and administered by IPK, a licensed auctioneer, the process brings interested buyers together within a structured online environment.
Rather than conducting separate negotiations over an open-ended period, registered participants make their offers during the same defined window.
“The competitive period is short, but the buying journey is not. The preparation takes place beforehand,” says Rachael.
For international buyers in particular, having the property information gathered in one place and a clear timetable can help them plan viewings, organise advice and prepare to take part.

Property Description
The view they searched the coast for...
The owners searched the Algarve from Tavira to Lagos with one priority above all others: the view. They found it here.
High in Quinta das Raposeiras, near Santa Bárbara de Nexe, this villa looks south across rolling countryside to the coast. The outlook is open and far-reaching, and the sunsets stretch across the whole horizon.
The house is generously proportioned and relaxed in feel, with terracotta roofs, warm timber details and plenty of natural light. Its elevated position brings privacy and a real sense of space.
The main living and dining areas open directly onto a covered collonaded terrace, the gardens and the pool, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.
There are four en-suite bedrooms, plus a ground-floor study or lounge that can serve as a fifth bedroom if required. Upstairs, the principal suite has its own dressing area and private terrace, together with a large bathroom with twin vanities, two walk-in showers and a freestanding bath.
The kitchen has excellent storage and a substantial pantry.
The gardens are mature and carefully landscaped, with palms, sculpted olive trees, a lily pond with an arched bridge, a cascading water feature and generous areas for relaxing and entertaining.
The long swimming pool is framed by sun terraces, lawn and shaded seating, made for long lunches and slow evenings outdoors.
The lower level adds a lounge, gym, wine cellar and storage, while a double garage with EV charging completes the property.
The villa works equally well as a permanent residence or an Algarve retreat. Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Loulé, Faro Airport, the beaches and the region's leading golf courses are all within easy reach.
