House T2+1

Property located in Nora, parish of São Bartolomeu de Messines, municipality of Silves, Algarve region.

The property comprises a mixed-use estate with a total area of 9,900 m², incorporating a residential component in very good condition and a rural component with an avocado plantation covering 5,300 m².

The built area has a total footprint of 308 m² and comprises the main residence with 187 m², an adjoining garage with 66 m², an independent studio apartment with 55 m², two outbuildings, a barbecue area and extensive paved and landscaped outdoor spaces.

Main residence

The main residence is arranged entirely on a single floor and is in very good condition, offering generous rooms and a functional internal layout.
Access is through a central entrance hall, which provides access to two bedrooms, a complete bathroom equipped with both a bathtub and a shower, the kitchen with storage area, and the main living area.

The living room is particularly spacious and extends into a second open-plan area, creating a large, continuous and versatile social space. This layout allows for the creation of different areas within the same room, including a main sitting area, a second lounge, a reading area, an office, a leisure space or a television area.

The kitchen is equally spacious, fully equipped and includes a dedicated dining area, extensive fitted storage cupboards and direct access to a pantry, providing substantial storage capacity and an organised, practical layout.
The generous proportions of the rooms and the relationship between the different spaces provide a comfortable living environment, suitable both as a permanent residence and for extended stays.
The residence is equipped with air conditioning and solar panels, supporting the property’s energy systems and hot water production.

Garage, laundry and technical area

Adjoining the main residence is the garage, which has independent external access.
Its dimensions allow for vehicle parking, as well as the storage of equipment, materials and other items associated with both the residential and agricultural components of the property.

The garage also incorporates a laundry area and a technical area containing the equipment associated with the production, storage and distribution of hot water, together with the remaining systems supporting the residence.
The integration of these functions within a single space allows the technical equipment and domestic support facilities to be concentrated in an autonomous area, without interfering with the principal rooms of the residence.

Independent studio apartment

At one end of the grounds is a spacious studio apartment, in very good condition and with independent access from the main residence.
The apartment offers a large open-plan interior, incorporating a fitted kitchen, a living area, a sleeping area, storage spaces and a complete bathroom. It is also equipped with air conditioning.

The sleeping area is positioned at one end of the open-plan space and has the configuration and dimensions required to be physically separated from the remaining living area by creating a partition and a door, without compromising the apartment’s overall spaciousness, circulation or functionality.
The existing layout therefore allows the flexibility of the current open-plan arrangement to be preserved or, alternatively, for the apartment to be converted in practical terms into a one-bedroom unit.

Outbuildings

Immediately inside the main entrance to the property, on the left-hand side, there is a first outbuilding with a timber structure and ceramic tiled roof.
This space functions as a covered vehicle shelter and provides an additional support area for the property. It may also be used for the protection and storage of equipment or materials.

The second outbuilding consists of a small timber construction, also covered with traditional ceramic roof tiles, located beside the beginning of the avocado plantation.
Its interior provides space for the storage of tools, equipment and other materials and may be used as a storage room, tool shed or support building for the maintenance of the land and agricultural operation.
Its location provides direct access to the plantation, avoiding the need to transport tools and equipment through the residential area.

Outdoor spaces and landscaped areas

A large, level and carefully arranged outdoor area extends around the entire residence and is prepared for a range of different uses.
The landscaped areas combine gravelled surfaces, weed-control membrane, traditional Algarve stone, flower beds, flowering plants, ornamental shrubs, mature trees and several water points.
The landscaping is complemented by decorative benches, stone features, low walls and pedestrian paths that allow circulation around the residence and provide a functional connection between the different areas.

The surrounding grounds also include extensive paved areas suitable for circulation, relaxation and the arrangement of leisure spaces.
Along one side of the house there is an outdoor area designed for extended use, where sun loungers, an outdoor dining area and an exterior lounge may be arranged. This space is fitted with a retractable awning, providing shade and allowing its use to be adapted to prevailing weather conditions.

The direct relationship between the residence and the outdoor areas allows the grounds to function as a natural extension of the interior living spaces, offering distinct areas for relaxation, socialising and leisure.
Access to the property is through an electrically operated sliding gate, with a separate pedestrian entrance also provided.

Barbecue area

At one end of the grounds there is a barbecue area comprising an oven, grill and supporting work surfaces.
This area is designed for outdoor food preparation and dining and benefits from its proximity to the paved areas, outdoor dining space and the remaining leisure areas.
Beyond the wall enclosing this area is the second timber outbuilding, located close to the beginning of the avocado plantation.

Agricultural component

The rural component of the property includes an avocado plantation covering 5,300 m², arranged in regular rows and directly accessible from the residential area.
This configuration allows the residential use of the property to be combined with a productive agricultural component, maintaining a direct connection between the residence, garage, outbuildings and plantation.

The plantation forming part of the property enables the buyer to acquire a residential component together with its own agricultural area, without being required to take on the entirety of the agricultural operation established on the adjoining land.

Possibility of expanding the agricultural component — avocado plantation

Adjoining this mixed-use property, comprising the residential area and agricultural parcel, is an additional area of agricultural land measuring 20,894 m², forming part of the remaining avocado plantation.
This area may be included in the acquisition, allowing the scale of the agricultural operation associated with the property to be expanded.

The transaction may be structured in different ways, depending on the buyer’s interests and investment capacity. Consideration may be given either to the full acquisition of the land and the associated plantation or to the acquisition of the land combined with an operating agreement for the productive component.

This flexibility allows the buyer to choose between acquiring the mixed-use property with its residential and agricultural components, acquiring the entire combined property, or adopting a contractual arrangement suited to the intended investment model.

Location and access

The property is located 7.1 km from São Bartolomeu de Messines, with access provided mainly by paved road, followed by a final 170-metre section of unpaved road.
