Unique Algarve Property

Exclusive Agency Listing – read to the end:
To make such a property today it would be too expensive and extremely hard to find someone who could do it. This truly unique property immediately captivates you as you drive in, with the “old calçada” roads swirling in between the plush garden beds leading you all the way up to the house. It takes your breath away before reaching the top of the hill with 360 degree views over the country side, mountains and sea.
The property consists of a fully fenced plot of land with 2 hectares (19.770sqm) with fantastic garden areas, “old calçada” roads, stone walls, various fruit trees from here and around the world, a productive vineyard with 350 plants, a productive olive grove with 140 trees and of course, the popular and valuable carob trees. It is a lifestyle property with a very manageable productive farm, with lovely picking events with friends and Family when it’s time to harvest the olives, grapes and carobs. The olives and carob productions are sold to local cooperatives. The grapes transformed in the property into a lovely wine that gets better year after year. Please note that the current owners had no previous knowledge of wine production and are now producing a lovely elegant wine – I know from experience!
And, on top of the hill, comes the beautiful spacious house and all the external terraces surrounding it and the large pool area, totally private. The first things striking you as you walk up to the house are the feelings of tranquility and complete privacy! The south facing terrace with Santa Catarina tiles and a handmade brick BBQ and oven are ideal to entertain when you have more guests. The views are remarkable and peaceful, with all the beautiful plants and flowers all around and the sea in the distance. There is also a small pond area with fish in it, surrounded by mature trees and a sitting area with table and a bench, ideal to sit quietly and relax by the sound of the running water.
