Bom Sucesso - Designer Villas and Townhouses by world leading architects but without the designer price tag

Bom Sucesso is a landmark project showcasing the best contemporary designs, all set within a five star leisure resort on the Silver Coast only 50 minutes by car from Lisbon. 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.

'All in one' is the key concept behind the Bom Sucesso . The 600-property development, which incorporates a boutique hotel, is based around a championship golf course, designed by the British golf architect Donald Steel. The development is set within a 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, swimming pools, tennis club, sailing club, luxury hotel, spa and fitness being just a few of the leisure facilities readily available.

Buying a Signed Limited Edition of an Artist’s Work

This unique idea has been executed by 23 of Europe’s finest architects. Among them is leading British architect David Chipperfield and 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 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.

The variety of designs to choose from is exceptional, and each house is original and unique. The living space of the villas range between 200m² / 2,153 sq.ft and 350m² / 3,767sq.ft.

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 UK golf course designer, Donald Steel, has created a championship 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.

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 Represent 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.

Townhouse, two bedrooms From €345.000

Townhouse, three bedrooms - price on request

Villa, three bedrooms From € 413.320

Villa, four bedrooms From € 477.400

Villa, five bedrooms From € 1.297.500

IVA (i.e. VAT) of 21% needs to be added. Estimated maintenance charges will be €100 a month for an average three-bedroom home.

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

Three different 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.

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.

Vacation Investment

A holiday home that yields returns and at the same time guarantees holidays for a lifetime

You get ten weeks use of the house each year and privileged access to all facilities and services

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.

Hotel Managed Investment

A similar concept to the ‘Vacation Investment’ but with properties managed by the hotel and offered as part of the hotel. Guests and owners simply check in at the hotel and enjoy full hotel services, 365 days a year. Plus owners benefit from a guaranteed 5% net return on investment for two years from the time they complete their investment. Each owner has six weeks’ use of the property without any charge.
