This country estate for sale near Serpa offers water self-sufficiency through two boreholes, two large water deposits and a dam. Priced at €1,500,000, it provides 440,125 m² of land with automated irrigation serving the garden and carob plantation. Buyers looking for a rural property with its own water infrastructure will find a working agricultural estate in Serra de Serpa. The land is fully fenced and maintained as an operating farm. Its agricultural resources include 22 hectares of cork oak, 14 hectares of irrigated carob trees and 8 hectares of arbutus trees. Olive trees accompany the plantations along the entrance route.
