IRIS265: Quinta Arco-Iris

4 hectare quinta with 3 houses and building plot

Photo Gallery for this property.

4 hectare quinta in a prime location in the Alentejo, being situated peacefully within the protection of the Natural Park and yet only five minutes drive into the beautiful riverside town of Odemira.

Quinta Arco Iris consists of:
1 partially renovated taipa cottage, with 3 habitable rooms, 20.7m x 5.28m.
1 farmhouse (ruin) 110m2.
1 cottage (ruin) 16.5 + 72m2.
1 footprint/building plot registered for 72m2.

Approx 350m2 in total for rebuilding permanent structures plus the right to establish, for example, temporary structures, outbuildings, wooden bungalows, caravans or yurts.

There is water all year from 3 wells, a pure-water font, a 100m deep borehole, a stream, and a slate dipping pool replenished by underground spring water.

There is electricity from two street lights on both hills and mains electricity could easily be connected, although Arco is presently off-grid and using solar power.

Pine, cork oak, and eucalyptus trees surround the land with fruit trees such as fig, olive, peach and orange within. The land totals 40,000m2 (4 hectares) of undulating diversity.

For someone who has vision and energy Arco Iris (previously known as Monte Espiche and Monte Pereiras) could be transformed into a very special project and is particularly viable for sustainable living. The apparent seclusion of the location yet close vicinity to local amenities - train station, schools, sports-centre, library, municipal buildings, many gorgeous beaches within 20 minutes, Faro Airport 2 hours - make it excellent for eco-tourism, a retreat, eco holiday homes, a family business or the establishment of a shared community.

With irrigation in place using Arco's own water supply and a little nurture of the diverse micro-climate the whole of the quinta could soon be a 4 hectare garden of plenty and fully self-sufficient.

Quinta Arco Iris could be bought by an outright owner or an Association could be formed to make it a multiple purchase by friends or family. Enquiries could be made to separate the houses and create homes with their own private land.

The neighbouring area also has many welcoming local skilled craftspeople who are role-models for sustainable living practices and the production of home crafts.
