Across much of Western Europe, most home owners are lucky to have a compact back garden and a postage stamp sized front patch. And, it’s amazing what some people can achieve in such a small space. But here in the Algarve, there are opportunities for more, much more!
“Give me land, lots of land, under starry nights above - don’t fence me in.” Cole Porter.
If this is “your tune” you’ll certainly be delighted with these properties that we found to suit just you! Searching for a home with plenty of space to roam and wide open vistas? Look no further, just sit back and enjoy.
More than a farmhouse in Algoz, Silves - €350,000
Set in 11,800m2 of land, in the peace and tranquillity of the hills around Algoz.
This is by no means a traditional farmhouse; the rooms are far too spacious and modern to be called rustic. This lovely single story property comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large lounge and a kitchen/dining area. There’s also a study and a large utility/laundry/storage room, beside which, there’s an annex with a kitchen, bathroom and a living room/bedroom.
Outside is a covered terrace for dining, with the swimming pool close by, surrounded by terraces for sunbathing and grassed areas for picnics. There’s also a barn/stable for horses. This super property has so many possibilities.
Converted winery in São Marcos da Serra, Silves - €395,000
Set in 20,000m2 of land where the vines still stand, there are opportunities galore with this little gem.
This is unique; an old winery (adega) that has been converted into a home! There are two properties for the price of one here, the main house that was once the winery and a large, detached studio cottage. The two are linked by a covered terrace and both have been built in a traditional style with rustic kitchens, terracotta floors and cane ceilings. There are four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and each house has covered terraces for al fresco dining. There’s a large swimming pool with its own covered bar too and the views overlooking the vineyard and the countryside beyond are stunning.
Peace, tranquillity and solitude, is what you’ll find with this property. Set in 24,000m2 of land with cork trees all around.
The main villa is spacious with a living area, two en suite bedrooms and a kitchen. All rooms in the main property have under floor solar powered heating. Close to the main property, there’s a separate 86m2 annex with its own living area, kitchen and en suite bedroom.
The swimming pool has a small adjacent workshop and a large garage is situated at the entrance to the property. Covered terraces surround the villa where you can enjoy the panoramic views while you dine in style. Part of the land around the properties has been tamed and made into gardens, while the rest is as nature intended. This is a truly wonderful retreat for those who love the beauty of a natural environment.
This two story property sits in an amazing 230,000m2 which is flat, arable and full of possibilities.
The villa has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor and the other two are on the upper floor, along with a large sun deck with spectacular views. On the ground floor there’s also a country style kitchen/diner leading to the lounge area. Patio doors lead from the lounge to a large terrace, where you’ll find the BBQ area and the swimming pool.
From its elevated position, the villa overlooks a watermill cottage with its own pool; both are in the process of being rebuilt and need to be finished.
The whole property is fenced and has a paddock, so this could be ideal for horses or as a small holding, or even as a fully-fledged farm. Opportunity knocks here!
Restoration project in Santa Barbára de Nexe, Faro - €640,000
Location, location, location. Close to the much sought-after village of Santa Barbára de Nexe, this property is situated on 18,760m2 of land (525m2 covered area) and offers the opportunity to have two for the price of one.
The property comprises a large old farmhouse (quinta), in need of restoration, with two living rooms, two kitchens, five bedrooms, and a bathroom. In addition, there’s an annex with a kitchen, two store rooms and a toilet. The surrounding land also houses a large shed and an old kitchen with a bread oven, plus a ruin with potential to build a second house.
This property has fabulous views over the countryside and to the sea, and is indeed a rare opportunity to invest in a large property, in the perfect location.
Each of these estates has more than enough land to follow through on an array of ventures. They are all in fantastic countryside areas and they all offer peace and quiet.
Each one poses the opportunity to use imagination and creativity to maximise their potential. However, these are not the only properties with glorious, wide open spaces on the market; there are in fact many more on the Meravista website. Simply click and zoom in on the Meravista map for a closer look at what’s available.
