`Monte Alentejana` Farmhouse and cottages built in granite, and various granite barns totalling 610 sq.m of totally restored buildings set on 3.5 hectares of land with abundant water in the ` Parque Natural de Serra de Sao Mamede`
Marvao, Portalegre, Alto Alentejo This area is a long established tourist destination for international and Portuguese tourists. The castles of Marvao and Castelo de Vide as well as some of the most spectacular countryside in Portugal make this a very popular area for visitors.

Land area of 34750 sq metres ( about eight and a half acres) The houses and other buildings are clustered in the centre of the farm. The whole farm is surrounded by granite stone walls. The front of the house looks directly to Marvao with spectacular views of the castle. Looking in the opposite direction are clear open views of Estremadura Spain (about 2km away).

The main house, built in granite is at least 300 years old. It has five bedrooms (one is at present used as a library). There is a large living room with old chestnut beamed ceiling, french doors opening onto a small balcony with spectacular views to Marvao, kitchen, and dining room. The main buildings are arranged around a gated courtyard behind the house.

A granite cottage that has been restored with living room/kitchen, two double bedrooms, and bathroom. This has been deliberately left for the purchaser to finish to their taste, and only requires floor tiling, windows and doors. This cottage has its own enclosed garden and separate access.

Next to this is the Adega (wine store) with the original ceramic wine storage containers. Next to the Adega is a round house. This is believed to be the base of the Torre (tower) that gives the area and the farm its name. We use it as a wood store. Next is a stable and next to that is a large room that contains the bread oven. This and the stable could easily be converted to another 1 bedroom cottage. In front of the house is another good sized storage room and outside the courtyard but next to the cottage is another store room.

ALL the above buildings are granite and have been completely restored.
Apart from the main group of buildings is another building. It is laid out for another cottage, two bedrooms, living room, and large kitchen. it is at present used as an Atelier for kilns, woodworking etc. This building has many potential uses, fantastic views to Spain, and Marvao

Total area of buildings 610 sq.m. Very unusual to find such a large property inside where building is restricted to already urbanised areas.

The whole property is within the Sao Mamede national park. There is a lot of good agricultural land and a large paddock. many olive trees, fruit trees, vines, oak and cork oak trees There is abundant water, 2 spring fed streams, 2 spring fed wells, mains water. Three phase electricity, fast broadband. swimming pool (above ground). Good access. Ideal rural tourism, or large comfortable family home. Very private location, amenities (shops, schools, restaurants) easily accessed.
