Description
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Alentejo
Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of pine trees and the soft murmur of a nearby river. The air is crisp, carrying the earthy scent of cork oaks and the promise of a new day in the serene Alentejo countryside. This is not just a property; it's a lifestyle—a chance to reconnect with nature and embrace sustainable living in one of Portugal's most picturesque regions.
A Sanctuary of Sustainability and Comfort
Nestled within 8.5 hectares of lush, fertile land, this one-bedroom Taipa cottage is a testament to the harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern eco-friendly living. Fully restored in 2020, the cottage boasts a south-facing layout that maximizes passive solar heating, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout the year. The wood-fired central heating system, complemented by solar hot water and a rainwater catchment system, underscores the property's commitment to sustainability.
Step inside to discover an open-plan kitchen and living area, where rustic charm meets contemporary elegance. The luxury bathroom, complete with a Jacuzzi, offers a private retreat, while the spacious bedroom provides the flexibility to create additional sleeping quarters if desired. The vaulted timber roof and double-glazed hardwood windows invite natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
A Canvas for Creativity and Expansion
Beyond the main cottage, the property features four registered stone ruins, each brimming with potential. Whether you envision guest houses, rental units, or creative workshops, these structures offer endless possibilities for expansion. Zoned for Rural Tourism, the land allows for development up to 6,000 m², making it an ideal investment for those seeking to capitalize on Portugal's growing eco-tourism market.
Nature's Bounty at Your Doorstep
The property's abundant water resources, including a borehole, two clean wells, a seasonal river, and a man-made lake, ensure a self-sufficient lifestyle. The fertile valley land is perfect for orchards, vegetable gardens, and permaculture projects, while the 200m river frontage adds a touch of tranquility to the landscape.
With 4.5 hectares of pine forest and a hectare of mature cork oak, the land not only provides a steady income from pine nuts and cork but also supports sustainable forest management practices. Optional glamping-style units, such as a Gypsy Caravan and a Converted Bus, offer additional accommodation options for guests or rental opportunities.
