Alto Alentejo, Portalegre, Portugal

If you've been researching property in the Alentejo and wondering whether it's time to stop looking, this might be it.

This fully renovated vila near Crato is ready and waiting. Three private suites, nearly half a hectare of land with a producing orchard featuring mature orange, lemon, olive and nêspera (loquat) trees, and an approved pool licence already in place. Everything done, nothing left to worry about. For buyers who want the Alentejo dream without the building site, this is the one.

The finish throughout is meticulous. Granite worktops in the kitchen, beautiful new flooring, brand new bathroom suites, double glazing throughout and exceptional insulation that keeps the vila warm in winter and cool through the summer heat. A traditional fireplace with bread oven adds character and practicality, while pre-installation for air conditioning allows future owners to add climate control with ease. This is not a cosmetic renovation, it has been done properly.

The property offers three en-suite bedrooms plus an additional social bathroom, making it ideal for both family living and entertaining guests.
Outside, the established orchard and fruit trees are supported by an irrigation system running throughout the garden, helping to keep the grounds productive and easy to maintain year-round.

There is also a large garage and annex on the property with real potential. The space is substantial enough to convert into a one or two bedroom apartment, opening the door to long-term rental income, short-term holiday letting, or simply a self-contained space for family and guests.

Set in a quiet village in the Portalegre District of Alto Alentejo, greener and milder than the plains further south, with the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park on your doorstep, medieval Marvão and Castelo de Vide within easy reach, and some of Portugal's finest river beaches a short drive away. Portalegre city is just 28km away (approximately 20 minutes by car). Badajoz in Spain, popular with local residents for shopping and services, is around 1 hour 15 minutes away.
