Investing in a coastal Alentejo rural retreat with two homes and rental potential could appeal to buyers seeking lifestyle flexibility and a distinctive property for sale. Priced at €780,000, this 18.5-hectare estate is positioned 18 kilometres from Zambujeira do Mar beach and 6 kilometres from São Teotónio. Its two independent accommodation areas allow owners to live in one home while hosting guests or family in the other. The main residence is a memorable three-bedroom hexagonal wooden house surrounded by gardens and countryside. A generous open-plan lounge and kitchen provide a practical communal space with a wood burner. The wraparound covered balcony and exterior shed support outdoor dining, entertaining and quiet relaxation. The elevated swimming pool adds a strong leisure feature to the principal home. The independent cottage contains two bedrooms, an equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge and another wood burner. Its private round pool and separate garden create an attractive setting for paying guests or visiting relatives. The property therefore offers more versatility than a conventional single-home country house. Its rural tourism potential should be assessed alongside planning, licensing and registration requirements before purchase. The cottage is described as not registered, making legal and operational due diligence particularly important. The extensive land provides privacy, nature and scope for enjoying a slower Alentejo lifestyle. Fruit trees, a vegetable garden, cork trees, eucalyptus and mature shade trees enrich the outdoor environment. Two year-round natural water features, two wells and a 5,000-litre reservoir add to the estate’s practical appeal. Irrigation equipment supports the maintained garden and may help reduce the effort involved in managing planted areas. São Teotónio’s amenities are close enough for convenient supplies, restaurants and local services. Faro Airport is approximately 103 kilometres away, providing access for international owners and visitors. Rental performance, occupancy levels and ROI will depend on the permitted use, marketing strategy, management costs and seasonal demand.
