A true place for simple living, connection with nature and new opportunities.THE HOUSE
This authentic Portuguese farmhouse (143 m²) was renovated in 2023 and is ready to move into. Inside, there is a cozy living room with a wood stove, a bright bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub. A double studio with loft bed, kitchenette, and private bathroom offers flexible space for family, guests or rental. Another large room can be used as an office or extra living area, also with a loft bed. The spacious country-style kitchen is fitted with a gas stove, oven, wood stove and modern appliances.

At the front of the house, a long terrace invites you to relax while looking over the garden and animals. There is also a yoga platform with mountain views, a wooden workshop, a large storage barn, a small plunge pool and a caravan in the vegetable garden with room for up to three people.
The land covers 2.2 hectares and is made for a self-sufficient lifestyle. A fertile vegetable garden with 24 raised beds, an irrigated orchard with citrus, olive, nut and fruit trees and herb and flower gardens surround the home. The glamping caravan, set higher up on the land, has stunning views across the valley and its own luxury outdoor bathroom offering comfort for guests and income potential (possible to take over).
Water comes from your own spring, borehole and stream, completely with a new water filtration system with sedimentation tanks. A 200,000-liter water bag serves as backup storage. Automatic irrigation is in place for the gardens and orchards and sprinklers cover most of the land and around the house. Forest areas with oak, eucalyptus and medronho trees bring shade, privacy and a true feeling of nature.
