Description
The 'Herdade do Monte do Lago e das Beloteiras,' spanning an area of 10 hectares, is located on the famous Vicentina walking route, surrounded by deep nature among cork oaks, pine trees, and small watercourses, home to untouched flora and fauna. It is also 8 km from the coast, with Sao Torpes Beach being the first of many. Access to the property is via a tarmac road, with only the last 100 meters being a dirt road, part of the mentioned route. Situated between Sines and Porto Covo / Ilha do Pessegueiro.
The property is fully fenced with sheep netting. It boasts a cork oak forest with around 500 mature cork oaks and hundreds of growing ones. The small estate benefits from four large access gates, with the main gate being automatic and solar-powered. There are also three water wells with connections to various points on the land. It has public water supply, electricity, satellite TV with four boxes, WiFi, an ecological septic tank, one artesian well with a depth of 100 meters providing high-quality water, and a water storage tank connected to the well in case the wells' capacity diminishes. It includes a sprinkler system for lawn irrigation with an automatic programmer, a solar panel, and a boiler for the three-bedroom house, along with solar panels for energy consumption for both houses.
Other equipment includes a newly acquired 100-liter water heater for the two-bedroom house, pre-installed air conditioning, brand new PVC doors and windows with tilt-and-turn mechanisms, double glazing for maximum soundproofing and temperature insulation. Both kitchens are equipped with ceramic cooktops and all appliances. Notably, the beautiful 9×3 m saltwater swimming pool has new equipment. There are small garden beds with drip irrigation systems. The agricultural shelter/dependency stores a New Holland tractor, brush cutter, and agricultural implements. It also has a fenced animal shelter, a natural pond/lake with a drainage construction and a 10-meter dock with a floating platform for a small boat or recreational pedalo.
