Aljezur - Aljezur - Country house - Faro - For sale - MR-033

An absolutely singular Country House, designed for a client who will be equally unique.

Land Plot 1356sqm + Villa 141sqm + Ruin 170sqm

Located just 10 minutes from Aljezur, on a gentle hill near Várzea da Gonçala and Cerca dos Pomares, this taipa (rammed earth) property offers breathtaking views over a lush green valley and an atmosphere of rare natural purity. Privacy, serenity, and a deep connection with nature are the words that best define it.
Originally built in the mid-19th century — and officially registered only in 1937 — the house underwent a complete restoration, executed with masterful craftsmanship and meticulous attention to every detail. The foundations, built with XXL rolled-stone pebbles and deliberately left visible, and the full taipa reconstruction were carried out by the renowned Master Manuel Loução from the Lower Alentejo region— specifically from Brejão, the village where the great FADO singer Amália Rodrigues often found inspiration. The owner himself participated passionately throughout the process, ensuring authenticity and aesthetic harmony in every element. The thermal properties of this ancestral technique with its large thick walls, provide naturally cool interiors in summer and comfortable warmth in winter.
The restoration — documented in a construction diary totaling over 13,500 hours of work — unfolded over several years. Since completion, the house has never been inhabited and remains in absolutely pristine condition. Its East/South/West orientation floods the interior with magnificent natural light throughout the day.
The owner devoted years to sourcing antique pieces and rare materials, creating an atmosphere that transports us through time without giving up contemporary comfort.
Set on a 1,356 m² plot, the property also includes a 170sqm registered ruin, according to a recent topographic survey.

The Setting
Finally, its location — truly exceptional. Just 50 metres from the house, a stream and a natural spring add freshness and serenity to the landscape. The surroundings are a haven of peace and harmony, embraced by untouched meadows where the fauna and flora display extraordinary richness — including arbutus, cork oaks, pines, and countless native species.
Just minutes from Aljezur — an authentic village, preserved and deeply connected to nature — this Country House enjoys an environment that invites a full and sensorial way of life.
Between the Atlantic Ocean and the green hills of the Costa Vicentina, this is a land where one lives by the rhythm of the earth and the sea. Surfing on iconic beaches, birdwatching at sunrise, hiking or horseback riding through valleys and cliffs, motocross in the hills, fishing and snorkeling in crystal waters, responsible hunting, cycling, SUP at sunset, and sunrise yoga — all shape an authentic lifestyle in harmony with nature.
It is also a refuge for sustainable practices and free expression — from permaculture to spiritual dance — where every moment becomes a celebration of nature and freedom.
A unique property where tradition, art, and nature meet in perfect harmony.
