Description
This property surprisingly combines the comfort of an almost 330 m2 modern style house built in 2011 using the most advanced technologies, together with an old charming hermitage from the 17th century of approximately 105 m2.
The land of almost 6 hectares is composed of a traditional olive grove where stand centenary trees that have been preserved avoiding any extensive exploration. There is a direct access from the road to the olive grove that sits on the top of the property, where the view is even more beautiful than from the house that has been built a few meters below. On the right side of the house there is a pistachio plantation and many fruit trees. Down the hill we find the access path that only leads to another house. On the other side of this path is the last plot, full of olive trees, where stands a charming hermitage in ruin. It is composed by a well-preserved church and 5 other divisions. A project has been approved by the city hall to rebuilt the hermitage.
The main house extends on 4 levels separated by a few steps. A small balcony, over two small ponds for frogs and fishes, leads to the entrance hall where is a social bathroom. The main floor is composed by a spacious and very well-equipped kitchen of almost 40m2, a small living room with a wood fire burning insert and a corridor that leads to 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a large suite with a walk-in closet. The 4 bedrooms have a direct access to a balcony through sliding glass doors and a beautiful view. At the end of the balcony is a bathroom and, in the middle, a few steps lead down to the swimming pool.
From the lawn of the swimming pool we can reach the house by a covered terrace along a spacious living room of almost 50 m2 with glass doors and large windows all around, to take advantage of the natural light and a beautiful view of the countryside. We can then go up to the main level into the small living room.
From the kitchen, turning around an internal patio, a corridor leads on the right to the outside BBQ area and further on, climbing a few steps, to another social bathroom and an office. From the kitchen as well, opposite to the small living room, we can go down to the pantry / laundry room and a garage big enough to include a workshop.
The whole house is equipped with underground heating and e heat pump for cooling. It has triphasic electricity from the main network, but also its own energy supply through photovoltaic solar panels for heating the water. There are two boreholes. The whole property is fenced and also has a 2m high fence around the house.
This stunning property, nestled in a peaceful area, with its spacious interiors, a large terrace for refreshing dinners, a private pool for relaxing under the sun and impressive views, is ideal for a family.
It is located in the deep Alentejo, close by the Alqueva lake and the Spanish border (Sevilla is 160 km away), where nature is preserved and unpolluted. It is 1 km away from a village with all commodities, 20 km from Serpa, 40mn to the nearest cities of Reguengos de Monsaraz and Beja, 90 km from Evora and 200 km from Lisbon.
