Halfway between Lisbon and the Algarve you'll find this magnificent property located in a privileged area of the Alentejo, comprising a villa, swimming pool, gardens, vast grounds and an airstrip with hangar.
The property covers 29 hectares (290,750 m2), is fully fenced and has different areas, such as:
- Main house, linked to a simple chapel by 3 arches and two entrances;
- Swimming pool with support house, separate from the main house;
- Agricultural area, with a shed for machinery and a pleasant wooden hut with a trellis of table grape vines.
- And the aeronautical area, with its own entrance, hangar, runway, aircraft parking aprons and car parks for many visitors, as well as support facilities including accommodation.
The main house is typical of the Alentejo, but built using the most modern technology.
It comprises:
- Hall decorated with stained glass windows;
- 2 en suite bedrooms with built-in wardrobes;
- 1 special suite with separate living room and walk-in wardrobe;
- Gym;
- Large office;
- Washroom with hand-painted 7th century style tiles;
- Large living room (winter area with beautiful fireplace and summer area with direct access to the large south-facing terrace);
- Dining room;
- Large kitchen with wood-burning oven and barbecue outside;
- House for the caretaker with a bedroom with wardrobe, lounge with kitchen, machine room and bathroom. It also has heating and air conditioning. If not used for this purpose, it can be considered a very special suite, as it is conveniently connected to the main house;
- The lower floor is even larger than the house and as well as a huge garage for many cars has a huge laundry room, bathroom with Turkish bath, 3 large storage rooms and a boiler room and solar heating;
There is a convenient lift to connect the two floors.
Additional features:
- The floors in the bedrooms are made of highly resistant exotic Brazilian wood;
- The floors in the communal areas are made of regional terracotta tiles, also highly resistant;
- The house has excellent insulation between the walls and window frames in aluminium, lacquered in white with thermal insulation and double glazing, with aluminium shutters in the same colour and with insulation on the slats; this gives it great thermal inertia and has been classified with Class A+ efficiency, which is exceptional and rare in private constructions;
- It has underfloor central heating which gives it a very comfortable atmosphere. As it operates at a low temperature, fuel consumption is extremely low (wood boiler and solar panels and fuel boiler as back-up).
- There is air conditioning in all the rooms, but if you manage the sun well, you don't need to use it.
- Everything is automated, from the heating to the control of the high-efficiency solar panels, diesel and wood boilers, domestic hot water and the various irrigation systems.
- The alarm system has several protection zones and panic buttons outside, but the area is very secure.
