Next to these dwellings you find an old water tower and a large workshop with carport and storage. One terrace lower than these buildings it would be possible to create 3 more apartments, because the ruins here are marked on old maps. In the valley below the hunting lodge, near the stream, some 6 ruins of laborers houses and silos present opportunity to create even more. Layout: The roadside lodge has a kitchen, dining room and spacious living area with fireplace, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is also a roof terrace and it seems possible to realize here 3rd bedroom and bathroom again. With the attractive pool in a walled garden with BBQ and a separate building with utility room, pump house and storage the lodge is an ideal independent home to live permanently or to rent. There is municipal water and electricity, but also a borehole for affordable watering. The typical Hunter´s lodge is also built of granite and has a spacious kitchen with storage room, a generous lounge with woodburner, large bedrooms on either side with beautiful paneling, large terraces with stunning views and 2 additional rooms. One is now an office and has a staircase to the lower floor. The bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning for heating and cooling. On the lower floor there are 3 or 4 opportunities for apartments, all giving out onto a beautiful terrace with a wisteria covered pergola. You already find here 2 bedrooms and a bathroom together with large games room (could be 2 bedrooms with bathroom). And then there already is a modest apartment with living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The guest house, just above the pool, has a living room with fireplace, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The pool house has 2 showers, toilet and storage space. A lower terrace underneath the pool could provide the setting for 3 apartments, where there used to be 3 workmen houses. In the valley there are still ruins by the river which could add up to further construction possibilities. The plot is absolutely beautiful with lots of afforestation and although access is provided over the land of a neighbour, the dwellings are readily accessible. The proximity of Caldas de Monchique with post office, restaurants, bars and a small church makes you feel completely private here, but not isolated. The gardens around the houses are big and mature, but could use some attention. The eucalyptus and pine trees are this year largely pruned to the ground to provide more "air". In the valley you find a well that is filled with spring water from the mountains. This water is pumped up to the water tower to provide to the Hunter´s lodge and the guest house. Connection to municipal water is fully prepared, should you so wish. The 11x4 m swimming pool is surrounded by a walled garden, where a pepper tree provides the shade. The workshop has a car/tractor pit and lends itself well through the high ceiling for new accommodation. Besides this you also find here a small barn, a carport, laundry room and woodshed. The ruins in the valley are located next to a river and surrounded by fragrant citrus trees. What dreams do you want to achieve? Is the Hunter´s lodge with 2 guest houses enough for you? Or would you like the perspective to create a great resort to be built in the endless beauty of nature? For tourist and agricultural exploration you can claim subsidies up to 80%. Do you think it is too much? The owner is in the process to split the plots, so you could also acquire only the road side lodge and the café on about 10 ha, or only the main house and the guest house with all the ruins on 13 hectares. You are about half an hour from the beaches on the south or west coast, 10 minutes from Monchique village with a large supermarket and lots of amenities, 20 minutes to Portimao with all amenities like shopping centers, a marina and hospitals and approximately one hour drive from Faro airport.
