This is a perfect, well maintained country retreat, but not far from a town, the reservoir, lakes and rivers, the Algarve, West Coast or the historic town of Beja and Évora! The single storey country house with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is located in an elevated position with panoramic views to the natural Alentejo countryside. From a small tarmac road there is a 1km dirt track giving access to the property which leads to an inner courtyard with many parking spaces, a second building of 76m² for storage, harvest, equipment or cars. The property has been recently renovated. One of the bedrooms was converted into a big, modern office. This place is ideal for a large family or holiday home, to rent out and for nature lovers, livestock, horses and agriculture. There is plenty of space for various ideas and events.

There is potential for further development, particularly in the area of rural tourism (TER) and other tourism-related projects, such as a caravan park, subject to the usual planning and approval processes.
