About the property

A golden opportunity awaits someone ! Even though the asking price of this SUPERB property is low, it is still negotiable. The owner is having to sell due to tragic personal circumtances. Built in 2003 and remodelled in 2007, this unusual Quinta is located in a lush green valley still rich in historical tradition, just 15km from Beja International airport and 1.5km from Vila de Frade. It benefits from a mild microclimate set within the heart of an Ecologic Nature Reserve, which is protected by European Union. The property is totally fenced in and has a border of natural trees and wild bushes alongside two waterways which ensures the enjoyment of total privacy on this farm. For those nature and culture lovers amongst us who seek this.the region is peaceful and tranquil and is environmentally and culturally rich. The wine Route of the Alentejo, The Route of Frescos (historical wall tiles), the nearby Museum of a Roman site , the diverse folklore, the traditional Polyphonic singers (rare to still find... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphony), the Mediterranean gastronomy with its strong Arab influences and being close to the biggest man-made dam in Europe (namely the Alqueve), are all ingredients for a life in harmony with nature and with a local culture rich in tradition.
