Historical Note
Monte do Poco Novo (the new well) was originally a small farmhouse typical of the
Alentejo. A major extension and extensive ground works undertaken over recent years have produced a stunning house and environs.
Location
The property is located in the conservation of Southern Alentejo,7 kilometers south west of the town of Ourique, it is 3 kilometers off the made up road in the heart of the country which has endless options for quiet walking and riding. Its location affords total privacy with the sound of silence and spectacular starlit nights. Other properties
are nearby but in no way intrusive. The region is showing strong interest from buyers who want the country and convenient to all centres of population. Major tourist developments are poised to raise the profile whilst not threatening the conservation area.
Directions
if travelling from abroad it is recommended that Faro airport and hired car is the most convenient option. For the first visit it is best to meet in Ourique to be guided through the myriad of byways. |
| General Description
Monte do Poco Novo is a wonderful mix of a small orchard, grapefruit trees on 1.16 hectares, a palm drive leads to a house of character with environs that defy description.
Terraced stone gardens lead down to a group of 11 small greenhouses (estufas) fully irrigated and highly productive for household organic vegetables and soft fruit.
Many trees
including eucalyptus, cork oak, pepper trees and figs are present, together with ample grazing for animals, currently three donkeys!
Wildlife and Conservation
The property is an exclusion zone for hunting, usually a few partridges hare and quail are to be found with wild boar in the vicinity. swallows nest in the patio producing the joy of aerial display and rearing their young during the summer. Other regular visitors include buzzards herons, storks, kingfishers, harriers blue magpies
and very occasionally vultures, with a wide range of birds of passage dropping by in the seasons.
It is expected that wildlife numbers will increase dramatically as shooting associations replace the free for all that has existed. | | Monte do Poco Novo Property Details
