A countryside investment property with private pools, ponds and fruit gardens is available in São Teotónio, Portugal, within the Alentejo south-west coast region. Priced at €780,000, this estate offers 18.5 hectares, a five-bedroom accommodation arrangement and two independent residential areas. Its combination of a main house, guest cottage and leisure facilities may appeal to buyers exploring rural tourism or lifestyle investment opportunities. The estate is positioned in a wooded valley approximately 18 kilometres from Zambujeira do Mar. The main wooden house has a memorable hexagonal form, three bedrooms and a generous open-plan living and kitchen space. Covered balconies encircle the upper level and provide shaded viewpoints over the gardens and woods. A separate two-bedroom cottage has its own private round swimming pool and established garden. The two dwellings allow owners to separate private living from guest accommodation or family use. Two additional water features, described as natural ponds and a dam, retain water throughout the year. The landscaped grounds contain fruit trees, a vegetable garden and mature trees that offer shade during warmer months. A probe-style irrigation system, two wells and a 5,000-litre reservoir support the outdoor areas. The large plot includes cork trees and eucalyptus, with some eucalyptus in harvesting stage, adding further rural resource interest. Guests or residents can use multiple terraces, the breakfast shed and generous outdoor parking. Inside, wood burners, wooden floors, double glazing and countryside views contribute to year-round comfort. São Teotónio is around 6 kilometres away and provides local amenities for daily needs. Nearby coastal destinations offer beaches and a strong nature-led appeal for visitors seeking an alternative to conventional resorts. Potential rental income, occupancy rates and ROI will depend on management, demand, operating costs and the legal status of each accommodation area. The cottage is noted as not registered in the property details, so planning, registration and rural tourism requirements must be independently confirmed. Buyers can explore the estate’s commercial potential while retaining the option of using it as a private rural home. Contact us today to discuss the investment case and schedule a viewing.
