Description
Nestled in between Evora (the historic walled city and UNESCO site) and Estremoz (famous for its world-renowned wineries and Saturday farmers and antiques market), this villa provides access to the best of the Alentejo. This modern house sits on one hectare of land, and offers contemporary living among grazing sheep, olive orchards and breathtaking views of Serra da Ossa Mountains and Evora Monte Castle. In spring, you’ll be mesmerized by the wild flowers surrounding you with purple, yellow and white flowers that seem to go on endlessly. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors frame the breathtaking views while allowing you to easily flow outdoors to the beautifully landscaped property surrounding the salt water pool and outdoor kitchen. This property offers everything you need to immerse yourself into the Alentejo lifestyle.
This villa located in the countryside, just 15km from the capital of Alentejo, is in perfect condition. In fact, its modern architectural construction has been built in 2010, and the owners have carried out multiple works this year, which turns it almost new.
Access to the property is via a small road which connects two villages. The entrance gate has a camera and can be controlled remotely. The property, of almost one hectare, is rectangular and completely fenced. To the right of the access path, is an orchard with many fruit trees. And at the end of the orchard, there is a shelter for storage, which has a window and electricity.

The front and side facades of the house have numerous vertical windows which allow light to pass through the house in its width. The large area of glass on the walls on each side of the house offers unrivaled natural light and the privilege of admiring the view over the fields from inside.
The relaxation area, protected by the L-shaped facades, is fenced and consists of a covered terrace, a barbecue area with a sink, a lawn and a salt water swimming pool with a sand filter. Many trees have been planted there recently. Beyond, the view extends over the fields to the Serra d’Ossa where the sun rises.
