Bom Sucesso Designer Villas and Townhouses by world leading architects, Portugal

Limited Edition Design Villas and Townhouses by some of the world’s leading architects, but without the designer price tag are available at this stunning new Resort.

Portugal’s western region has escaped much of the rapid development that the country has seen in the last 25-years. Only 50 minutes by car from the capital Lisbon, the Silver Coast is the place the locals like to go for their weekends and holidays – it remains a beautiful, unspoilt area with pastoral scenery, gentle slopes and stunning beaches. It’s dramatic, historic and atmospheric.

Here, Bom Sucesso is an amaszing project showcasing the best contemporary designs, all set within a five star leisure resort on Portugal’s largest natural lagoon. Billed as ‘the largest permanent showcase of contemporary architecture’ in Portugal, 23 of Europe’s finest architects were selected to realise this vision and all residences are designed to create a light, spacious and private living environment. You too could be a part of this wonderful resort, and own here.

All in One is the key concept behind the Bom Sucesso – Design Resort, Leisure, Golf & SPA project, with many unique characteristics, unprecedented in Portugal and an innovative concept in Europe.

The  development will house only 600 properties, and will also incorporate a boutique hotel, which is based around a championship golf course, designed by the British golf architect Donald Steel.

The development is set within 400-acre site – only 7.2 per cent of which will be developed, which means space and privacy are guaranteed.

There is a beautiful dedicated beach just minutes away, the 18 hole Donald Steel championship golf course, swimming pools, tennis club, sailing club, luxury hotel, spa and fitness being just a few of the leisure facilities readily available.

Bom Sucesso has been named a “Project of Potential National Interest” (P.I.N) by the Portuguese Investment Agency (API) due to its unique characteristics and great contribution in economic, social and technological fields in addition to environmental sustainability.

And it’s probably the best architecture-led development under construction today.

You’re Buying a Signed Limited Edition of an Artist’s Work – Stunning Residences

This unique idea has been executed by 23 of Europe’s finest architects. Among them is leading British architect David Chipperfield, renowned Portuguese architect Carrilho da Graca and Alvaro Siza Viera, the Norman Foster of Portuguese architecture. This outstanding group of individuals were given complete freedom to make the best use of land for their designs, with one stipulation – all houses must have green, grass-covered roof, to harmonise the verdant resort and to conserve energy.

Simplicity of design, natural light, first-class quality and diversity of houses according to each individual site – these are the main elements of Bom Sucesso. Modern architecture details such as blind walls, clean lines and vast expanses of glass are mixed with traditional, Portuguese-style inner courtyards. 90 per cent of the houses will be single-storey. Most villas will have their own private swimming pool, while clusters of town houses sharing a communal pool.

Furthermore, properties will cover less than 7.2% of the resort’s land, guaranteeing owners space and openness.

Buyers can choose between villas, plots of land or town houses.

The variety of designs to choose from is exceptional, and each house is original and unique. Each house has been individually designed to maximise the benefits of its plot on the development. The living space of the villas range between 200m² / 2,153 sq.ft and 350m² / 3,767sq.ft.

The plot areas for villas range between 600m² / 6458 sq.ft and 3,000m² / 32,290 sq.ft. Their prices vary according to their location and the architectural project to be constructed on the lot. The villas are three, four and five bedroom. Swimming pool and landscaping are optional. All construction must be started not later than 2009. The developer believes that by end of 2009, 80% of the development will be completed.

The townhouses are sets of houses in a single lot, sharing a large garden area and swimming pool. With a maximum of two floors, the houses are all covered in greenery and have private courtyards and a private garden area. The townhouses are one, two or three bedroom houses, some with covered parking or a private garage.

Impressive Facilities

Bom Sucesso was recently classified as a 5 star tourist resort, where the assessment criteria are related to the quality of both the project and the facilities.

The championship golf course has been conceived by the veteran UK course designer Donald Steel. He has created a course with a unique view of the ocean and lake, capitalising on the terrain's natural slope and local vegetation. Residence owners will automatically get a golf club membership.

Up-and-coming Region

Bom Sucesso is located in Óbidos, Portugal, in the West Region – The Silver Coast, on the banks of the Óbidos lagoon, near the beach and approximately 50 minutes away from Lisbon.

It is served by a set of recently built motorways, and in the future the new Lisbon International Airport will be relocated to Ota, bringing Óbidos approximately 20 minutes’ drive from Portugal’s largest international airport, thereby, improving international access to this part of the Portuguese coastline.

Bom Sucesso is 8km away from the medieval town of Obidos. Surrounded by 45ft walls, with pathways leading to the ancient castle this town is picture postcard perfect. Obidos is a thriving cultural centre, described as the next Barcelona.

The leading property programme “A Place in the Sun” has cited a potential 360% return for investors in Portugal over the next ten years. Christina Hippisley wrote, “The outlook for Portugal remains stable which should mean steady capital gains for investors ready to take a ten year view.”

Capital growth has remained consistent in Portugal at between 10-15% per year since 2000.

In addition, stringent planning laws stop over-development and keep demand high in this part of Portugal.

Prices Are Exceptional Value

Despite the bespoke approach, houses at Bom Sucesso don’t come with a designer price tag. Prices are on a par with other new-built local developments and about half the cost of villas on golf resorts in the Algarve.

The reservation process is simple; the process starts with a small deposit of €5.000. After the reservation, there are 30 days to exchange papers and sign contracts. Stamp duty is 6.5% of the purchase price, and notary and registration fees cost about 2%.

Ownership Options

A range of attractive ownership options is available for purchasing properties at Bom Sucesso - designed to make this resort as accessible as possible to anyone who has an appreciation for design and a luxury lifestyle.

The options comprise:

Freehold Purchase

Freehold Tourist Options

Freehold Purchase

Outright property purchase. You pay the full purchase price and it becomes your property to use as you wish, so you can live in it, take your holidays in it, lend it or even let it, as you choose. There is only a basic resort maintenance charge, and all we ask is that you maintain your building and its surroundings in accordance with the high quality design theme of the development. By default, all villas are outside the rental programme. However, owners have the option to rent the villa under the “Vacation Investment” programme. The condition for participation is that the villa is furnished with a standard furniture package bought from Acordo costing from 35.000€ for a 3 bedroom to 45.000€ for a 4 bedroom

Freehold Tourist Options

These options apply principally to the purchase of Townhouses, and consist of the full ownership of the house, which is let for tourism during part of the year, in return for financial compensation and an extremely high quality service.

Vacation Investment

A holiday home that yields returns

Guarantees holidays for a lifetime and the possibility of earning revenue

Fully furnished and decorated home (at an extra cost)

Holiday home without cost or care

Comfortable holidays in a Luxury Resort, with privileged access to all facilities and services

Flexibility with regards to duration of stays

This is a popular option for owners who want a Freehold purchase and are planning to spend a substantial amount of time at their Bom Sucesso home, but who also want the benefit of international marketing campaigns to maximise the rental revenue potential of their property when they are not using it. The property comes fully furnished and equipped.

Hotel Managed Investment

An investment that permits holidays for a lifetime

Guaranteed net 5% return on the investment over the first two years
