Approximately 195 square metres of living area sit within a total construction area of around 250 square metres. A fitted rustic kitchen with marble worktops combines practical appliances with an authentic rural style. The lounge and living room offer separate spaces for relaxing, entertaining or hosting guests. Three garages provide parking and storage for vehicles, tools or estate equipment. The surrounding land is enclosed within a high stone wall and reached through a representative vaulted gate. Two decorated Baroque pools, a fountain and a Roman cistern give the grounds considerable visual distinction. The gardens also include a pond, an orchard, olive trees, fruit trees, natural planting and irrigation. Equestrian facilities comprise stables and two horse boxes, with sheepfolds and other buildings adding further versatility. A one-bedroom gardener’s house could be used for staff, guests or an ancillary accommodation plan, subject to required permissions. The property’s wells, borehole, cistern, mains electricity and septic tank support its rural infrastructure. Its location beneath the Serra de São Mamede is well suited to walking, bird watching, nature appreciation and peaceful retreats. Crato is approximately three kilometres away and Portalegre is 18 kilometres away for shopping, dining and leisure facilities. The proximity to Spain and the wider Alentejo may help attract visitors seeking heritage, outdoor or equestrian experiences. Potential rental or hospitality returns should be tested through independent research, planning checks and a detailed business plan rather than assumed.
