In a beautiful area with far views close to the borderline between the Algarve and the Alentejo you can find this old and romantically restored windmill with possibilities to extend. The plot size is 1080m2. The old windmill covers approx. 80m2 and consists of a ground floor with modest lounge with a table made out of an old millstone, a small bathroom with sink/shower/wc and a mini kitchen. A woodburner ensures heating. Authentic stairs lead to the bedroom area on the 1st floor with a wooden flooring and impressive view up to the machinery in the roof of the windmill. A window brings light, a low door leads to the wooden terrace that is built onto the windmill.
Next to the windmill you find the old stables which have not been renovated yet. You may rebuild here, but only use the ground floor. For habitation purposes however the area for habitation may be extended to 300m2, where other buildings still may be another 200m2. If you would like to do something in rural tourism here (B&B, guesthouse, etc.), then the allowance to build would be up to 2000m2. Hard to realize this on a 1080m2 plot, but it means that the council of Silves will be very flexible to realize any plans which would contribute to tourism.
