Plot in Barao de Sao Joao

Off-grid living with access to south and west coasts surrounded by nature. Would make a lovely framily home or retreat.

This property has been constructed in a traditional style but with modern building techniques to ensure high levels of thermal comfort in both summer and winter. An envelope of external insulation has been applied to both walls and roof that help to maintain a comfortable inside temperature and prevents familiar issues of dampness and humidity found in many older properties.

The accommodation is surprisingly spacious with a huge living room with feature wood burner and surrounded by windows providing an abundance of natural light and lovely glimpses of the surrounding countryside.
There is a small kitchen off the living room along with a full bathroom suite for family use as well as a cloakroom. There are 2 good sized bedrooms both with patio terrace doors. The master bedroom has a shower room and wc.

Alongside the main property is a studio with shower and wc, bedroom, and open-plan living area. Below the house is a large basement currently used for storage. However, the current owner is exploring the potential of adding another bedroom with en-suite bathroom to increase the usable area more effectively this will in turn reduce the size of the basement area.

The property also has viability to contruct a 200m2 workshop on the property thereby creating ample storage perhaps required for a property of this size. The property has it’s own borehole and uses solar panels for electricity. The land is mostly left to nature although there are 2 old Hortas (allotmants) each served by it’s own well within the boundaries.

If it’s a slice of the good life you are looking for that is not too far away from local amenities then this is your new dream home. Only 20 minutes from the historic port town of Lagos and 10 minutes on a good track into the national forest.
