Description
Do you dream of leaving behind the chaos and stress of everyday life? Ready to get back into the rhythm of nature?
Nestled on top of a quiet and sunny mountain in the heart of the Algarve, The Old Orchard is an authentic Portuguese farmhouse set on 2.2 hectares of private land, surrounded by nature and tranquillity.
Here, water flows from its own spring, food grows in fertile gardens and orchards and you can enjoy fresh milk, dairy products and eggs from your own goats and chickens. The hilltop glamping site complete with a luxurious outdoor bathroom and panoramic terrace offers immediate income potential and a warm welcome to guests.
A cosy caravan with a fireplace in the vegetable garden provides extra sleeping space for up to three guests or volunteers. And the vibrant community of like-minded expats in the area is a wonderful bonus!
The farm was renovated in 2023 and is ready to move in.
