NOW SOLD - MORE PROPERTIES REQUIRED - A fabulous opportunity to build your own Quinta – Algarvean Farmhouse – single storey home on the top of this Monte allowing for fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. Planning approval for the building of a Four bedroom home has now lapsed, but can be re-applied for. The potential allotted area for the new home would be 150m² and any alterations to the original plans can be made at this time after discussion with the Camara Planning Department at Silves. A great feature is that there is a large area of flat land ideal as horse paddocks amounting to approx. 1.5 Hectares/3½ Acres. A stream runs along the boundary line in the location of the potential paddocks providing a lovely backdrop. Most of the remaining land is hilly and covered in Cork Oaks, Strawberry trees (Medronho) and Holme Oaks for firewood. On this hilly section there are three Springs that converge and then join the lower stream that passes along the tree lined boundary as mentioned, this is good clean Springwater and could be captured and filtered for domestic usage. At the highest boundary of the land a fabulous track runs along the top of the hills for miles and miles giving fantastic views over the countryside, even as far as Monchique absolutely perfect for hiking or riding. There is excellent road access to the property from a concrete road, then onto a short piece of track, crossing the stream on a pretty little bridge. Mains Electric is on the plot which just requires re-connection, or use this opportunity to go completely ‘Green’ and install Solar panels with Inverters and storage batteries. Mobile Phone signal at the property is excellent, achieving 4G. The property is just 1km North of São Marcos da Serra, approx 15 mins from São Bartolomeu de Messines and 30 mins from the Guia Shopping. There is a good possibility of getting a licence for Rural Tourism at this property.
