Property Description

3,960m2 of unspoiled rustic land near Alcoutim in the ‘Green Algarve’ on the Rio Guadiana-Spanish border

The property lies in a protected, undeveloped valley, abundant with wildlife, olives, pomegranates and figs. It features:

• 25m of idyllic riverbank
• Excellent road access, with flat areas for parking and camping
• Covered storage/deck platform
• A small boat jetty with all-tide access to deepwater, ideal for boat moorings
• Dozens of mature and young olives for high quality fruit and oil
• Wonderful hiking, cycling, kayaking
• A lively, surrounding community, with welcoming and efficient municipal services
• No legal disputes, fines or ongoing costs

Romãs (pomegranates) is 3km South of Alcoutim. Once there, you feel you have the whole valley to yourself. The meadows are trimmed by visiting sheep, which take care of your obligation to minimise fire risk. There are no other ongoing costs. Behind the almonds and beyond the road is a wild, wooded area that flanks the branco, which runs in Winter rains.

Full disclosure

• Terreno Rustico means no habitation licence. This property is undeveloped, and therefore free of fines and legal dispute.
• There is no well or borehole. You can pump water from the river, have it delivered or bring it from the local well or villages
• There is a proposal to build a new bridge between Alcoutim and Sanlucar
• The jetty is professionally built of scaffolding frame and board. It is one of the best on the river and very discrete, but has no licence. It can be removed if needed.
