Description
A granite stone house, completely reborn. Move in, pour a drink from your own orchard, and wonder why you waited this long.
Anyone who has looked seriously at property in rural Portugal knows what usually comes with a traditional stone house charm on the outside, a long list of works on the inside. This one is the exception. Behind the granite facade, everything has been rebuilt completely: new steel-frame walls, a full roof replacement, new electrical installation, new plumbing, and triple A50 insulation throughout. The house is not being sold as a project. It is finished.
The kitchen is brand new from the ground up. Stone countertops, new appliances, every fitting selected to last. Just off the kitchen, a traditional wood-fired bread oven connects through to the garden. It is the kind of feature that sounds like a detail until the first time you use it on a slow Sunday, and then it becomes the reason people visit. Beyond it, 4,250 m² of private land holds a productive orchard with oranges, lemons, figs, olives and apples irrigated by a large well fitted with a new pump.
"This is the version of Portugal people imagine when they decide to move without the years of renovation between the dream and the reality."
Inside, you have two well sized suites a family WC and living space that opens out to a bright kitchen overlooking your garden. Stone flooring runs seamlessly from room to room and out through the doors, so the boundary between house and garden dissolves naturally.
Upstairs is the master suite which runs to 43 m² and is sized for a proper walk-in wardrobe.
The original granite shutters have been kept exactly as they were the one deliberate act of restraint in an otherwise complete rebuild, and the right one.
The swimming pool licence is already granted. In practice, this is a significant advantage obtaining planning permission for a pool in rural Alentejo is neither quick nor straightforward, and many buyers discover this only after purchase. Here it is done. The double garage alongside the house is naturally positioned to become a pool house, and air conditioning connections are pre-installed throughout, ready when you want them.
The location earns its own mention. Crato is five minutes away and hosts one of Portugal's most attended summer festivals each year — for the right buyer, that annual footfall represents genuine short-term rental income during peak season. Portalegre, with its restaurants, private hospital, and connections onward, is 15 minutes. Schools are within 10 minutes. The house sits in a small, quiet community on a road that sees little traffic. It is private without being remote.
At €440,000 this is a home that would cost considerably more to build from scratch today and considerably more stress to live through. The work is done. The licence is in hand. The trees are already bearing fruit.
