Description

Intro

In the quiet Alentejo village of Alcaria dos Javazes, in the parish of Espírito Santo, this traditional single-storey village house is ready for its next chapter. Whitewashed walls with yellow trim and a schist-stone base give it the authentic look of the region. The historic town of Mértola, with its castle and the Guadiana river, is approximately 20 minutes away by car. Here you will find shops, restaurants and everyday amenities. The house has a habitation licence and offers 88 m² of useful living space on a 200 m² plot, all on one level.

The house

Inside, the character of the Alentejo is everywhere. Tiled corridors with arches connect the rooms, and traditional beamed ceilings of cane and wood add warmth and charm. The heart of the home is the living and dining area with a large stone fireplace, perfect for cosy winter evenings. The rustic wooden kitchen, set beneath a beautiful brick arch, is equipped with a gas hob, an oven and an extractor. There are 3 bedrooms, all with air conditioning. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a shower, with a wooden vanity unit. A separate laundry area provides practical extra space.

Additional comforts & technical details

The house is equipped with air conditioning for heating and cooling, a gas boiler and a gas water heater. Water is supplied by both a borehole and the mains, and wastewater goes to a septic tank. The energy rating is F. Please note: the rustic wooden kitchen with hob, oven and extractor is included in the sale. The other furniture, including the bedroom and living room furniture, is not included.

Outside

At the front, a private patio with pergola invites you to enjoy breakfast outdoors and long dinners on warm summer evenings. A gravel yard and outdoor parking add convenience, while the open countryside views bring a real sense of space and tranquillity.

Potential

The house is ready to live in and offers plenty of scope to add your personal touch. You could refresh the interior to your own taste or create a lovely outdoor dining and lounge area under the pergola. Subject to the necessary approvals, further improvements could be explored, such as increasing the energy efficiency.

Uses

This makes it an ideal permanent home, a peaceful holiday home or an easy lock-up-and-leave retreat. It could also work as a holiday rental, subject to the required licence.

Lifestyle & location

Life here moves at a gentle pace. Think starry skies, quiet walks through the countryside and the genuine hospitality of a small Alentejo village. Mértola, one of the most remarkable heritage towns of the region on the banks of the Guadiana, is close by for culture, history and everyday needs.

About Divine Home, Portugal

DIVINE HOME – YOUR TRUSTED PROPERTY PARTNER IN PORTUGAL

Some properties change where you live. The right property changes how you live.

Portugal is more than a destination. For many, it becomes home. Imagine waking up to over 300 days of sunshine, enjoying breakfast on your terrace overlooking the Atlantic, or watching the sunset from your own countryside retreat surrounded by orange and olive trees. Whether you dream of a holiday home, a permanent move, a profitable investment or a better quality of life, Portugal offers an exceptional quality of life. We're here to help you make it your own.

MORE THAN A PROPERTY

Every buyer comes to Portugal for a different reason—retirement, a holiday home, an investment or simply a better quality of life. Whatever brings you here, our role is not simply to help you buy a property, but to help you find the lifestyle that feels right for you.

Buying abroad is one of life's biggest decisions. Local knowledge, trusted advice and experienced guidance make all the difference.

LOCAL EXPERTISE. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.

For more than 15 years, Divine Home has helped thousands of international buyers purchase a property in Portugal with confidence, combining local expertise, honest advice and personal service through every stage of the buying journey.

As an independent real estate agency specialising in residential property throughout the Algarve, Alentejo and the Silver Coast, Divine Home has been recognised with multiple international industry awards in recent years. Combining local expertise with the professional standards international buyers expect, Divine Home offers honest advice, transparent communication and personal guidance from your very first inquiry through to completion—and well beyond.

Exceptional service begins long before you arrive in Portugal. We begin by understanding what matters most to you. Only then do we recommend homes that genuinely fit your lifestyle, ambitions and budget.

Whether you are searching for a luxury villa with sea views, a charming country home, a modern apartment, a golf property, a renovation project or an investment opportunity with rental potential. Our role is simple: to help you make the right decision.

FIVE LOCAL OFFICES. ONE TRUSTED TEAM.

Wherever your property search takes you, Divine Home offers the reassurance of genuine local expertise backed by the strength of one trusted brand.

With five strategically located offices, our regional specialists cover some of Portugal's most desirable property markets:

Central Algarve – Prestigious golf resorts, elegant villas, vibrant coastal towns and sought-after countryside living.

Eastern Algarve – Authentic villages, unspoilt coastline and a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.

Western Algarve – Dramatic cliffs, picturesque marinas, renowned surfing beaches and contemporary coastal living.

Alentejo – Rolling countryside, vineyards, traditional quintas and timeless Portuguese charm.

Silver Coast – Historic towns, Atlantic beaches and exceptional lifestyle value along one of Portugal's most beautiful coastlines.

Our teams are deeply rooted in their local markets while working seamlessly together across every region. If your ideal property lies beyond the area where your search begins, we'll introduce you to opportunities throughout our network—helping you find the right home, not simply the right location.

For you, that means broader choice, deeper local insight and one dedicated point of contact from your first enquiry to the day you receive the keys.

WHY INTERNATIONAL BUYERS CHOOSE DIVINE HOME

Relocating or investing overseas can feel overwhelming. Different laws, unfamiliar procedures and language barriers often create unnecessary stress. Our role is to make the entire experience straightforward, enjoyable and secure.

From arranging property viewings and virtual tours to introducing trusted lawyers, mortgage specialists, currency experts, architects and relocation professionals, we coordinate every step of the process. Our experienced team remains available before, during and after your purchase because we believe long-term relationships are far more valuable than one-time transactions.

This commitment to service has earned us the trust of buyers from the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Scandinavia, North America and many other buyers from various countries who have successfully started their new chapter in Portugal with Divine Home.

CAREFULLY SELECTED PROPERTIES

Every property we represent is professionally presented using high-quality photography, detailed floor plans where available, videos with drone imagery and comprehensive descriptions to help you make informed decisions before travelling to Portugal. Whether you are searching for a luxury villa, a country estate, a modern apartment by the coast or an investment property, we can help you.

Our portfolio includes everything from contemporary coastal apartments and luxury villas to charming quintas, historic country estates, golf properties, investment opportunities, new developments and carefully selected renovation projects.

Because every buyer's journey is unique, we continuously update our portfolio to ensure you have access to some of the finest homes available across our regions.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF WORKING

At Divine Home, we believe honesty creates better decisions.

If a property is not right for you, we will tell you.

If we believe there is a better opportunity available, we will show you.

If waiting is the wiser decision, we will say so.

Our reputation has been built on trust, integrity and lasting relationships rather than pressure or quick sales. Trust is worth more than any transaction. That philosophy continues to guide every conversation we have.

WHY PORTUGAL. WHY NOW.

Portugal combines an exceptional climate, political stability, outstanding healthcare and one of Europe's most desirable lifestyles. Whether you're searching for a permanent residence, a holiday retreat or a long-term investment, few destinations offer such a compelling balance of lifestyle and value.

YOUR PORTUGUESE PROPERTY JOURNEY STARTS HERE

From your first online search to the day you receive the keys—and every step afterwards—you can rely on Divine Home for professional guidance, local expertise and a genuinely personal approach.

Wherever you are in your property journey, we're here to help you take the next step with confidence. We look forward to welcoming you to Portugal—and helping you find a place you'll be proud to call home.
