Description
FARM in Sao Bras de Alportel - central Algarve.
Farm with almost 4 hectares, gross area 1300m2 and permission to build another 1000m2. Located 2 minutes walk from the centre of the historic and charming village of Sao Bras de Alportel, in the centre of the Algarve.
Charming Algarve farmhouse with all the design and charisma of a typical architecture still preserved.
Unique opportunity to acquire and renovate one of the few nineteenth-century country houses in the area, which remains preserved, in a quiet area, with neighbours, but with a lot of privacy.
The property consists of 3 matrices, one rural and two urban, fully walled and rests on an almost flat plot.
QUINTA has 3 entrance gates and includes several outbuildings:
- the spacious Main House with several balconies, terraces and porches or arcades;
- the Casa dos Caseiros with several patios, porches and wood-fired ovens;
- the Warehouses (formerly for cereals, wine, olive oil and fruits);
- the Garage or Stable;
- the Stable;
- the Eiras;
- the Nora, the Well, the Mine, the Water Holes;
- the Tanks and reminiscences of irrigation channels;
OUTSIDE, the constructions are framed in pavements of flagstone, Portuguese pavement or rehearsed according to the nobility of the spaces, as well as landscaped spaces with garden plants and trees that extend to the agricultural land with some carob, almond, olive trees, other fruit trees and a large area of pasture.
The land, with a rural booklet distinct from the other two urban booklets of the buildings, has due to its proximity to the urban centre an enormous potential to be partly urbanizable, which can privilege the viability of a new cultural, tourist, hotel, social or even housing project.
It also has great potential for conversion to organic farming and organic agricultural certification, with pasture, orchard and grove area. It has several boreholes and a mine with enough water for agricultural activity, watering the gardens and supplying the house.
The MAIN HOUSE with about 680m2 has two floors and consists of a spacious living room with fireplace, dining room, a large kitchen, office and three bedrooms on the ground floor. The remaining seven bedrooms are on the upper floor.
Outside, the house has several areas of stay associated with the four facades of the house.
On the upper floor there are large terraces and on the lower floor there are arcades very suitable for a covered area for accommodation and meals. The choice of the most suitable area of stay depends on the season, the time of day and the weather conditions, but the remarkable layout of the house has the particularity of always offering a suitable option for a quiet and cosy outdoor stay: whether to the North, South, East or West.
