Fabulous Quinta - Modern house built to the latest standards for insulation and energy efficiency - Situated on a generous plot within the national cork forest, with stunning views to the Algarve. The property is close (5km) to the village of Cruz de João Mendes on the Serra da Grândola and is only 20km from the Alentejo Blue Coast (Costa Azul). It was completed in 2010 in the traditional Alentejo style; it has high efficiency rating and is self-sufficient with all modern conveniences. The house comprises a hexagonal entrance hall that leads to 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, 2 of which are en-suite and they have large fitted wardrobes. The kitchen and lounge also lead off the hall. They are joined by an arched opening that gives an open plan effect. The kitchen has fitted units with granite worktops, fitted gas oven with hob, and connections for a dishwasher. On the north side of the property is a walled courtyard paved in a traditional style, which gives access to a utility room and covered front door area. On the south side the kitchen leads out onto a tiled terrace covering the full width of the house, which enables all year outside dining whilst enjoying stunning views southwards over the cork forest and countryside, as far south as Monchique mountain in the Algarve (on a clear day). Electricity is provided by a solar array that follows the movement of the sun, backed-up by a diesel generator for winter use. Similarly, there is solar heated hot water, which has both electric and gas back-up systems. Winter heating is provided by a log burning stove in the lounge that pumps hot water to radiators in every room in the house. In summer there are air-conditioning units in the lounge and entrance hall, which can also function as de-humidifiers and heaters. Water is provided from a borehole on the property. The internal area of the house is 133m2, with a further 35m2 covered terrace and a 90m2 sheltered courtyard (including a porch of 7m2).

The total area of the terrain is 6.7 hectares (67,000m2) which is primarily cork forest; however the trees are well spaced allowing grass to grow and many species of wild plants.
