Description
Unique Property in the Serra Algarvia – Foz do Ribeiro, São Bartolomeu de Messines
Nestled in the heart of the Algarvian hills, this traditional Monte Algarvio is a property rich in rural character and history.
Once a vibrant hub of agricultural activity, it bears witness to the cooperative spirit of local families who shared in both the labor and the rewards of primary production and processing.
The surrounding community was defined by mutual aid and shared resources, where neighbors came together to bake bread, dry fruits, fetch water from the well, care for animals like goats and chickens, and travel the verdant hills on donkeys. From the olive harvest to carob collection, this setting radiates the essence of a bygone era steeped in tradition.
Property Features
This property spans an impressive 2.6 hectares, with a stream marking its southern boundary. Remnants of an ancient water wheel (nora), once used to draw water with the aid of animals, still echo the history of this land.
Main Residential Building
The property includes four constructed areas, the main one being a habitable residence comprising:
•An entry hall,
•Two bedrooms,
•A living room,
•A bathroom.
The kitchen is located in an independent annex, and the property features an outdoor courtyard. The residence spans a total area of 1,217m², with a built area of 232m², including a cistern for water storage and a septic tank.
Secondary Residence
To the south lies a 320m² traditional house in need of full renovation. Constructed using taipa (rammed earth), it includes:
•Four rooms,
•An exterior bathroom,
•Courtyard areas, and
•Structures for animal husbandry, including a corral and chicken coop.
Additional Support Buildings
Two other structures serve as storage or support facilities:
1.A 103m² warehouse, still housing traditional features like bread ovens, sausage hooks, millstones, and agricultural tools, as well as charming wall niches.
2.A 200m² schist stone building, offering versatile space.
Natural Landscape and Vegetation
The property’s landscape reflects the Mediterranean climate and diet, with a variety of vegetation spread across the rolling terrain:
•Cork oak and holm oak groves,
•Citrus orchards,
•Carob and olive trees,
•Irrigated arable crops,
•Nut trees, and
•Native shrubland.
The result is a patchwork of fresh, shaded areas and lush greenery, emblematic of the Serra Algarvia's distinctive charm.
