Yes, buyers can purchase this self-sufficient Costa Vicentina retreat near Aljezur for €2,900,000. It includes four independent homes, seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a private solar-heated saltwater pool on 20.2 hectares of land. The combination of holiday accommodation potential, off-grid systems and west coast beaches makes it well suited to a private retreat or rural tourism venture. Approximately 434m² of living space is distributed across the main residence and three additional homes. The main house offers two bedrooms and traditional rammed earth construction, combining local character with practical comfort. Two guest homes each contain a living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, with direct access to the pool terrace. The fourth home has three bedrooms, ocean views and the option to divide it into two living units. Tourism licences are in place for accommodation units, offering a useful foundation for holiday letting, subject to applicable regulations and ongoing compliance. Owners could live in the main house while hosting guests in the independent residences. Alternatively, the estate could accommodate extended family, wellness retreats or a carefully managed rural hospitality business. The private 10m by 5m swimming pool is solar heated and supported by an energy-efficient circulation system. A photovoltaic installation supplies electricity, with a backup generator available for additional resilience. Water comes from a licensed borehole with a modern filtration system. Solar thermal hot water, underfloor heating, ceramic stoves and wood-burning heaters contribute to lower-impact living. The grounds include private gardens, orchards, terraces and a large utility shed for machinery, tools and pool equipment. Built-in barbecues and a stone pizza oven provide attractive spaces for outdoor dining. The estate sits in a completely private hilltop setting with panoramic views towards the west coast. Unspoilt beaches are approximately 5km away, with the nearest beach around 15 minutes by car. Aljezur and Lagos are roughly 20km away, offering everyday services, markets, restaurants and pharmacies. The rural location may appeal to guests seeking nature, privacy, surfing beaches and authentic Algarve experiences. Rental income and ROI would depend on occupancy, pricing, operating costs and the chosen business model. Contact us today to arrange a viewing of this rare self-sufficient retreat for sale.
