Marmelete land with house for sale

Portugal – Algarve – Monchique.

€205.000

When nature offers itself like this, it is better not to miss the opportunity. We present you this charming property, located in the heart of a green valley between Marmelete and Selão. It consists on the one hand of a house to be renovated but habitable and a ruin of 120 m² registered as a dwelling, and on the other hand of a magnificent piece of land exposed to the southwest. The latter is divided between a flat part, along an abundant river, on which many ideas can be realized from a simple parking lot to permaculture to the installation of small wooden houses. It then has a hilly part that offers magnificent views of the valley. The wide, practicable path to the top consists of various trees, scrub, and some flat areas to satisfy your creativity.

Access to the land is very easy and the private road leading to the property can be split in two, creating two independent entrances, one leading to the house and the other to the flat area of the land. The house is connected to water through a borehole, water also flows all year round thanks to an upstream source, and electricity is supplied by photovoltaic solar panels with 6 stationary 2V – 650 A batteries.

The location of this beautiful property is ideal: the charming town of Marmelete is just a few kilometers away, and the towns of Monchique and Aljezur are only about 20 kilometers away. Lagos and Portimão can be reached in 40 minutes. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this little corner of paradise.
