Available for €849,000, the estate comprises a renovated four-bedroom house on a fenced 75,000 m² plot in southern Alentejo. Its scale, privacy and existing infrastructure provide a practical base for rural living and agricultural projects. The single-storey property offers 233 m² of living area and approximately 400 m² of construction. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms give families, guests or workers comfortable accommodation. Three bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms, with a further family bathroom available. A large office, created from one bedroom, can be used for administration or remote work. The open-plan kitchen and living space supports daily life after time spent outdoors. The lounge has a conservatory and wood burner, creating a welcoming place to relax. A separate 76 m² building can store tools, feed, equipment, harvests or vehicles. The fenced boundaries are valuable for managing animals and organising different areas of the land. Buyers can explore possibilities for horse keeping, agriculture and livestock, subject to local rules and the required facilities. Fruit trees and cork trees add character and productive potential to the landscaped and natural areas. A borehole, mains electricity, solar power and a large septic tank provide useful services for country living. The property also has outdoor lighting, air conditioning, electric heating and good internet and phone reception. The private swimming pool measures 10 x 5 metres and offers a refreshing amenity during the warmer months. Wide open south-facing views enhance the sense of space from the elevated position. A 1.5 kilometre dirt track connects the property from a small tarmac road, while the setting remains private but not isolated. Ourique is approximately 10 kilometres away with shops, restaurants, a hospital and other essential amenities. Contact us to assess the land, discuss your rural plans and arrange a viewing.

From a small tarmac road there is a 1km dirt track giving access to the property which leads to an inner courtyard with many parking spaces, a second building of 76m² for storage, harvest, equipment or cars.
