Wonderful opportunity to purchase a house in the Algarvean countryside at São Marcos da Serra, a traditional hillside village with parish church and market square and one of the few areas where the main industries still include cork, cereal and honey production. With very good access to the main roads it's a 5 minute drive to the village, 30 minutes drive to Albufeira, 15 minutes to Messines and 50 minutes to Faro airport. There is a restaurant and petrol station within walking distance.
This really is a charming house with lots of traditional features and a tremendous amount of potential. The house has been renovated but still needs a few small things attending to including the outside painting. All rooms are mainly on one level and comprise a lounge/dining room with wood burner, kitchen with full range of appliances, internal hallway, 4 bedrooms, the master having en-suite shower room, direct access to the terrace and air conditioning, there are 2 additional shower rooms shared between the other 3 bedrooms. The house benefits from double glazing, lovely high ceilings with traditional wooden beams and absolutely bags of character. Outside is a large terrace at the front of the house, a double garage housing a tractor which comes with the purchase and even a dog kennel! The plot is a substantial 61,980 square metres, completely fenced and has it's own "lake", natural spring, mature trees including eucalyptus, cork and olive, a vast array of fruit trees, grape vines, flowers and shrubs plus very good tarmac access from the main road with electric lighting...an ideal location if you wanted to keep horses or for outdoor pursuits. If you're looking for an idyllic traditional retreat away from the tourist centres with fantastic countryside views then this property should be seen. Viewing highly recommended.
