Lower Floor

Adega (Wine Cellar)
The larger bedroom provides direct access to a traditional adega with:

Development Potential
The property's adaptable layout offers exciting possibilities.
Should the current office remain as a dedicated workspace, the lower floor can still function as an independent two-bedroom apartment by reinstalling a kitchen.
Alternatively, the non-load-bearing wall between the adega and the larger bedroom could be removed to create a spacious kitchen while retaining a comfortable second bedroom, providing an attractive self-contained guest or rental apartment.
Outdoor Living
The west-facing terrace extends directly from the main living area and provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining while enjoying spectacular sunset and countryside views.
An external staircase leads to the beautifully landscaped gardens, where broad pergola-covered steps descend to a generous meadow bordered by mature hedging for privacy.
The garden enjoys uninterrupted panoramic hilltop views and includes a wonderful variety of established fruit trees, including:
- 6x Olive trees
- Citrus (orange, lemon, lime & tangerine)
- Plum (yellow and red)
- Cherry
- Fig
A mature herb garden complements the planting, while a rear gate provides direct access to the quiet village lane. At the far end of the garden is a swing and a charming outbuilding formerly used as a chicken coop.
The lower garden features a superb covered entertaining area complete with:
- Built-in barbecue
- Traditional bread oven
- Outdoor sink
- Covered dining terrace
- Mature wisteria providing natural shade
Parking
Two covered carports on the eastern side of the property provide convenient off-road parking.
