Description
This single-storey house for sale in Mértola sits in the Alcaria dos Javazes village, with three bedrooms, a stone fireplace and a pergola patio. Whitewashed walls, yellow trim and a schist-stone base give it the look of the region. Everything is on one level: 88 m² of living space on a 200 m² plot. The castle town of Mértola, above the Guadiana river, is about 20 minutes away by car, so shops and restaurants are close while the village stays quiet.
The house has a habitation licence and is in good condition. It is not a project to rescue. You could move in, then add your own touches over time. The asking price is €195,000.
The House: 88 m² on One Level
Inside, tiled corridors with arches link the rooms, and the ceilings are traditional beams of cane and wood. The living and dining area is built around a large stone fireplace, the obvious spot for a winter evening when the Alentejo cools down.
The rustic wooden kitchen sits under a brick arch and has a gas hob, an oven and an extractor. It is included in the sale. The other furniture, including the bedroom and living room pieces, is not, so you can furnish the place your own way.
There are three bedrooms, all with air conditioning, and one bathroom with a bathtub, a separate shower and a wooden vanity unit. A separate laundry area adds practical space that small village houses often lack.
Heating and cooling come from the air conditioning, backed by a gas boiler and a gas water heater. Water comes from both a borehole and the mains, and wastewater goes to a septic tank. The energy rating is F, which leaves room to improve efficiency later, subject to the necessary approvals.
Patio, Yard and Parking
At the front, a private patio under a pergola is where breakfast happens from spring to autumn. It is also a ready-made frame for an outdoor dining and lounge area if you want to build one. A gravel yard and outdoor parking take care of the car, and the views run out over open countryside rather than neighbouring windows.
At 200 m², the plot is easy to look after. You will spend your time sitting outside, not mowing.
Living Near Mértola: Village Life in Baixo Alentejo
Alcaria dos Javazes belongs to the parish of Espírito Santo, in the Baixo Alentejo. Days here are slow. Skies are dark enough for stars, the walks start at the front door, and neighbours know each other.
For anything bigger, you drive to Mértola. It is one of the most interesting heritage towns in southern Portugal, with a hilltop castle, a Moorish past and a riverside setting on the Guadiana, close to the Vale do Guadiana Natural Park. Plan on having a car, since daily errands mean the 20-minute drive into town.
For flights, Faro airport is the usual gateway, roughly 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes away by road. Summers in this part of the Alentejo are hot and dry and winters are mild, which is why air conditioning in all three bedrooms matters.
Buying a Second Home in Portugal
The layout suits several uses. It works as a permanent home, as a quiet holiday home in the Alentejo, or as a lock-up-and-leave base, since there is no garden to maintain while you are away. Holiday rental is possible in principle, but it requires the relevant licence, so check that before you plan around rental income.
For buyers comparing Portugal real estate outside the Algarve, a house for sale in Mértola at this price offers a finished home in an authentic village rather than a renovation. As with any purchase, have a local lawyer review the documents and the septic tank and borehole arrangements.
