About this place
Plot: approx. 3015 m2 Construction: approx. 192 m2; Build: pre 1951 Description: This beautiful four-bedroom Quinta, only a 15 min drive from Tavira, is situated on a flat plot of land just over 3000 m2 with mature gardens, a variety of fruit trees and a water tank that the family uses to refresh themselves on a hot day. This beautiful centennial property is approached by a gate and a cobblestone driveway leading to two covered parking spaces. The Quinta was renovated in 2003 and has been well maintained since. The property consists of a spacious living room with fireplace, a stylish good size and recently renovated kitchen and adjacent pantry, four double bedrooms, three bathrooms (two en-suite bathrooms) and a storage room. The living room has a mezzanine which is currently used as a mini library, but could easily be converted into a small office. Access from the living room and kitchen onto a semi-covered terrace. From the mezzanine there is access to a terrace on the upper floor with sea views. There are several terraces (semi-covered) around the house with seating areas, always offering choice to sunbath or to stay in the shade. The property also has a water tank that needs some maintenance, an outside shower and toilet, a BBQ area with covered space for dinning.

It is a very well located property; an oasis away from the noise of the city, with plenty of privacy and good access by tarmac road. Mains electricity, water and fossa drainage.
