Property Description

Casas Novas da Palmeira is a beautiful, self-sufficient farm nestled between the ocean and the mountains. The property boasts incredible views of the Foia, the highest mountain of Monchique, and on clear days, you can also see the ocean.

The closest beaches are Odeceixe and Zambujeira do Mar, making it a perfect location for those seeking the peace of the countryside while remaining close to the coast. The farm is approximately 9ha and is completely self-sufficient with solar power systems and its own drinkable water sourced from a borehole, with a natural spring running throughout the year. The climate in this region is mild, rarely dropping below zero, making it ideal for cultivating a wide variety of plants and trees, including bananas, maracuja (passion fruit), and even lychees.

The property includes three houses: The first is the family house, which offers 120m2 of living space. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a cozy living room with a fireplace, and an open kitchen. The house also features a large roofed terrace with a BBQ and a pizza/bread oven in front. Behind the house, there is plenty of space for firewood, a closed shed, and a storage area for tools. The house also benefits from a hot solar water system.

The second house, Casa Gorda, offers 110m2 of living space. It includes 2 main bedrooms and 2 additional rooms in the attic. The open kitchen and living room are equipped with a fireplace to heat the house. There is also one bathroom, and outside, there is a hot water shower and an additional toilet. A shed with a washing machine and a solar system is also included.

The third house, Casa de Verao (also known as the agricultural house), is a 20m2 room with a large roofed terrace featuring an outside kitchen and BBQ area. The bathroom is not directly connected to the living or sleeping area and is accessed via the terrace.

In addition to the three houses, the property includes several outdoor features, such as a pool house with an open kitchen and a 5x3m Intex pool. There is a caravan hideaway with an outside kitchen, bathroom (compost toilet), and its own small solar system. Another large roof is near the lake, previously used for an 8-meter caravan, and another roof is near the pool house with a caravan. The property also features a forest bathroom with two compost toilets and a shower. An electric and water house houses the water tanks and solar systems. There is a large lake with views of the sea, a horse stable, and 3-4 hectares of fenced pasture. The land also includes a growing house, fruit gardens, and space to accommodate campers. There is also a wooden platform for yoga or for placing a bell tent.

The farm’s water system runs throughout the land, manually controlled. Architectural and engineering plans for the property are being updated and will be submitted to the local council soon.

This property can be sold as is. If the potential buyers are willing to finish the project, there will be a reduction in the price.

With the perfect combination of natural beauty and self-sufficiency, this property is a fantastic opportunity to create a unique rural paradise or permaculture farm. For more information and to schedule a visit, don’t hesitate to contact us!
