For Sale: Bed And Breakfast In West..

Bensafrim Fantastic opportunity for B&B, huge plot, choice of accommodation 27120 m2 Plot 900 m² built 17 Bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. On 27120m2 of land you find this old herdade (farmhouse mansion) with a total footprint of 486m2. Buying this requires your vision. You can create a boutique style property with your choice in amount of rooms and services. You already have lovely old features and with smart thinking you can offer here a luxury retreat, away from it all, but 3 minutes drive to the beautiful castle city of Silves and 10 minutes from the coast. The property borders the Arade River. A wide plot of fertile land in front of the herdade could be used for horses, or other purposes you would like to give it. At the far side of the land you find a wonderful big cisterna which would be a fantastic pool area away from the mansion. And what a feature is the old nora here (the water wheel that was kept in motion by a donkey walking circles). The property has access to agricultural water at a ridiculous price to water the land as much as you would like. Present situation: On the ground floor the old fruit storage now is an apartment with 3 bedrooms, a living/dining with fireplace and a kitchen and a bathroom. Steps lead now to the first floor which is split in 2 parts (can easily be connected again) where you now find 3 bedrooms and one bathroom, living room and a kitchen and extra bathroom on the adjoining terrace. At the other side of the 1st floor you find 4 bedrooms, the main bedroom having an en suite bathroom. Then there is a dining room and a kitchen with access to the terrace. A wonderful genuine wooden broad staircase connects to the middle entrance on the ground floor where you find a hallway and a large living room with fireplace. At the right side of the house there is still a huge old stable, which could be converted into a wonderful apartment. Next to the main house you see the old water storage areas, a lovely covered feature area. At the other side you find a cottage with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a large lounge and a kitchen. Opposite this small house you find a ruin belonging to the property which would allow to create 2 apartments here if you would like. From the water storage areas steps lead into the garden and alongside the cottage to a BBQ area which is created in old stables and the present pool area. It would certainly require an investment to make this opportunity a working business. But with an architect/builder we have made a funded cost estimate to make it up-to-date, working and beautiful of € 300.000, also including water supply, plumbing, electricity, roof, rendering of the walls, creating outside terraces (also on 1st floor), landscaped garden around the mansion, etc. May be you want to do more, but for this price you could create a wonderful business on an enticing character location. Silves is known for its old castle, which walls are overlooking the city and a vast area around. You can see the castle walls from the herdade as well. Every year in August the city organizes a “medieval festival” which attracts enormous amounts of people. Silves has nice shops, large supermarkets and great café´s and restaurants. It is only 10 minutes to the beaches of Carvoeiro and Ferragudo, the most beautiful cliff beaches you can find. From the city of Portimão boat trips over the Arade river come to Silves.CLICK HERE for more info
