In the beautiful and quiet valley of Vale Telheiro, just behind Loulé, this farmhouse (quinta) for sale has a lovely atmosphere. The former stables have become a 2 floor building with stables underneath and an office/apartment on the 1st floor. The main house has 2 bedrooms and there is a separate guest unit with 2 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom as well. The plot is almost 6500m2, there is a large heated pool and Jacuzzi. With a borehole and 2 cisternas (water tanks, one for rain water), grapevines and vegetable gardens this quinta will attract people with green fingers.
Layout: an electric gate opens onto the calçada driveway up to the quinta. First you see the stable building with 2 stables (now laid out as chicken run and dog kennel) and then a spacious attractive covered carport. Between this building and the main house you can access a more elevated part of te land, where you also find the entrance to the office or the apartment. This is a bright room with sufficient space for beds, a seating area and a desk and it has air conditioning. There is a bathroom and it would be easy to put a kitchenette in as well. At this level of the land you find a greenhouse, however the cover suffered from a storm. Behind the quinta a garden has once been laid out and has an irrigation system, but this has not been maintained. One level higher you find 2 large square pieces of land with almond and fruit trees, one of which is fully fenced.
The genuine quinta has a wonderful large covered terrace, beautifully laid in with calçadas and mosaics. To the left of the entrance you find a large utility room. Then you find a high and light modern kitchen. To the right you find the cozy living room with closed fireplace and a hidden library on a mezzanine level. At the back of the fireplace you find a bedroom where the bed has been placed in the chimney area, making it a very comfy area in cold winter nights. A step up from this bedroom you find the bathroom en suite. At the end of the living room you find the 2nd bedroom, also with en suite bathroom and air conditioning. At the end of the covered terrace you can enter the separate guest unit with its own kitchen and air conditioning, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Behind a door on the terrace you find a ruin which would allow for extra construction on the property.
In front of the covered terrace is the walled in pool terrace with a retractable cover for pool and jacuzzi. The heat pump needs to work for a short time and you enjoy lovely warm water all year round. On the terrace you also find a BBQ corner, storage space and stairs to an elevated terrace offering splendid views to the hinterland and coast. Down the pool terrace is a large barn with workbenches and space for e.g. a tractor. From here down to the lowest part of the plot you find the grapevines and a multitude of trees like walnut, avocado, lemon and lime. The quinta is managed in a company, which a.o. saves you transfer costs on the purchase.
