Rustic charming property set in the..

Ref: S638 - From Senhora da Rocha (approx. 6 kms from Penina and the N125), a 2km dirt track leads to this very peaceful, pretty and rustic property on a huge plot of approx. 7 hectares.

It is located at the base of Monchique in the Nature Reserve and consists of a very old farmhouse, workshop, sheds and a warehouse - which has been tastefully converted into a lodge.

The house has still kept the charm and characteristics from the past. It offers 3 good sized bedrooms, a study/smaller bedroom, storage facilities, 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite), rustic country kitchen, living room with a big specially tiled log burner which heats the hall and another bedroom. The wood framed windows and high wood ceilings are typical details for these houses and create a cosy atmosphere.

The property is nestled in the rolling hills, woodland and rivers which create the foothills of the Serra de Monchique. There are 2 water tanks for refreshing dips. The property has got several old outbuilding for storage, carport, workshop and a BBQ area with a shaded place to dine. The owner restored the warehouse into a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom lodge with its own water tank for swimming and terraces all around. Both houses could be successfully rented out most of the year.

It is a real paradise in beautiful countryside with panoramic views. The owner is totally self-sufficient, using water from the river on the land which is pumped to a storage tank (the fill-in is computer controlled). Solar power provides electricity in combination with a diesel generator (if needed).

This traditional property is ideal for country lovers, holidaymakers and those who would like to make a business. It is perfect for animals and to keep horses.
