Our Property of the Weekis a unique opportunity for business or pleasure. A bargain price of only €565,000 buys you a 6-bed house plus a 2-bed cottage on a huge plot with massive potential for all types of uses.
This charming property in the Algarve countryside oozes character. Situated on a large plot in Fonte da Murta, it’s perfect for buyers looking for a business opportunity in the Algarve.
Located about 5kms from São Brás de Alportel, 20 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport and around 30 minutes’ drive from major towns, beaches and the Ria Formosa, this rustic residence is ideal for rentals, a B&B guest house, or the likes of an artist’s retreat or a healing sanctuary.
You couldn’t wish for a more desirable location to work, live and enjoy.
The accommodation comprises a spacious house with six bedrooms and an independent cottage with a living room/kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.
In the main house, the large open-plan living area encompasses the kitchen and a dining area, and has a wood burning stove and underfloor heating, so it’s guaranteed to be snug on those chilly winter nights.
There’s an impressive dining room too, with a large open fireplace and a library with its own wood burner.
The master and second bedrooms have air conditioning. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and a separate en suite shower, and there’s a family bathroom to serve the remaining bedrooms, one of which is on a mezzanine floor.
Among its many features, the property has traditional beams, and wood and cane ceilings, which give it a very rustic Portuguese ambiance.
There’s also an old kitchen (now used as a laundry) and a guest toilet. The pool area has its own shower, toilet and storage space.
In the grounds there’s a garage and a wood store, plus there’s a carport and additional parking space.
Set on a big plot measuring 7,700m², this haven in the hills has gorgeous views and promises year-round comfort and tranquillity.
It boasts wonderful outdoor areas, including stables and an inviting 8 x 5 metre pool for those hot summer days, complemented by a characterful cosy home for the cooler months. The pool surround is paved with traditional Santa Catarina tiles and bordered by plants and trees. The garden is an interesting maze of greenery, fruit trees, flora and winding calçada pathways.
Last year, the main house was insulated throughout; a rarity in a traditional stone-built property. The 6cm of insulation has enhanced the internal ambiance of the home, making it cooler in the summer and warmer and more economical to run in the winter.
The property is connected to mains electricity and water, and has an existing telephone line. With gas central heating, a hot water boiler, double glazing plus fitted with fly screens the house has all the mod-cons you could ask for.
We know that right now you can buy more house for your money in the Algarve than in other popular European destinations and this one is a real steal! Priced to sell at just €565,000 (£426,000), if this is the type of property you’re looking for, don’t delay, view it now.
