Portel, Evora, Address available on request

This property is located 2km from the village of Alqueva, where the dike of the largest artificial dam in Europe is located, and has been dedicated to ostrich breeding. The owners have built a restaurant there. There is also a house with 3 bedrooms for private use.

The property, completely fenced, is accessed by a dirt road of approximately 600m. The path crosses the property in its lower part for approximately 400m and the buildings are in the middle. Most of the land is gently sloping and used for pasture. There is a small olive grove with about 200 trees next to the house, then on the left is a steeply sloping wooded section with an impressive viewpoint at the top.

Entering the restaurant, we find:
 On the right, a carport and a small terrace with a wooden table and benches under a vegetal cover
 Opposite, another uncovered terrace with wooden tables and benches, as well as toilets in a prefabricated structure next to the restaurant entrance
 Further on the right, a little higher, is the house for private use
 And finally, on the left, the old structure intended for the incubation of ostrich eggs

The owner's house, of approximately 120 m2, is an old traditional Alentejo Monte full of charm, with its blue-painted edges. There is a pretty paved terrace on the south side with a low wall and a table under a tree. The entrance corridor gives access to:
 A small bedroom on the left, with in-wall closets, and a larger bedroom on the right
 Opposite, the kitchen opens to the dining room where there is a wood-burning insert under the old fireplace with benches
 To the right of the kitchen, we find the bathroom with shower then the office
 And finally, we arrive in the living room through which we access the master bedroom
The living room has a wood fireplace and a double double-glazed Pvc French window which gives access to the playground area on the east side, with a view over the plain and Spain. On this side of the house, on the right, there is also a storage room, attached to the house, which can only be accessed from the outside. And going around the house to the left, we find the old stable.
The master bedroom also has a window and a French window, both in double-glazed Pvc, giving access to the rear of the house.

The restaurant, of approximately 200 m2, is located opposite the entrance gate, between the house and the agricultural outbuildings. The entrance is through a reception area which gives access to two dining rooms of approximately 23 m2 each and, passing in front of the bar, to a third one of approximately 50 m2. There are WCs for customers and a changing room with a bathroom for employees. The technical part consists of two kitchens, one for hot and one for cold, a room for cleaning dishes and two pantries. The total capacity of the restaurant is approximately 160 people who can sit inside or outside.

The agricultural outbuildings, of approximately 230 m2 in total, previously used for ostrich breeding, consist of 11 divisions, 7 of which give access to a rectangular park.

The property is connected to the city's electricity network. It has a septic tank, 2 wells, 2 springs and 2 boreholes.

This property offers a unique opportunity for people wishing to live in preserved nature. It is strategically located on the edge of the Alqueva dam (the dike is 9 km away) and very close to the Spanish border. This area is very popular among tourists for its beauty, its river beaches (Alqueva and Amieira are 7 km away and Moura 10 km away) and its unpolluted sky where you can observe the Milky Way (inside the Dark Sky zone). This property has an enormous tourist potential.
