This property comprises a 3 bed traditional Alentejo cottage plus a 2 bed self-contained detached annex. There is a pool and various outbuildings all situated on 20 acres. It is positioned high in a quiet wooded valley in the São Mamede Nature Park and has magnificent views of the surrounding area. It is a beautiful and tranquil area.

It is about 10 km from the town of Portalegre which has all the normal amenities you would expect from a main centre. It is a similar distance from the Spanish border.

The main house consists of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, an inside bathroom with toilet and an additional outside shower room also with toilet. It has an approximate floor area of 106 sqm. The living room is heated by a wood-burning fire in a large traditional inglenook style fireplace. The rest of the house is fitted with central heating run from a wood burning boiler, which can also supply hot water.

The annex is a converted barn which has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with lounge. It has an approximate floor area of 50 sqm. It is heated by 2 wood-burning stoves, one in the lounge and the other outside the bedrooms.

The land is terraced and has numerous olive trees, chestnut trees and other various fruit trees and areas of fertile soil, ideal for growing vegatables and even keeping animals. It was once a self sufficient farm and could quite easily support a small family. Also, being in a forested area, there is a virtually unlimited supply of firewood. It has a stream crossing the land which flows all year and can be used for irrigation. It also makes a very pleasant feature on a hot summer day.

The property has its own borehole and septic tank, but is connected to the mains electricity supply and telephone network.

It is about ½ mile from a surfaced road, and is accessed by a track which is maintained by the local council and continues into the forest.

The property is offered for sale, but long-term rental would be considered.
