Our family country estate in Portugal is for sale. It is 240 hectares. We are also willing to split the estate into two halves (Herdade da Nespereira and Herdade de Moinho Velho) and then sell each half individually. I appreciate that due to the current travel restrictions listeners can't travel to view the property but I can send more information and images.

In total, there are 10 double ensuite bedrooms and 3 double bedrooms set across 5 different villas. The estate includes a beautifully renovated windmill, a functioning watermill, a swimming pool, 100 hectares of cork (that provide an income), 80 hectares of flat agricultural land (no chemical pesticides have been used on the land for over 20 years), a river running through the valley, 6 reservoirs, over 10 natural springs, geothermic central heating and many other amazing features.

It is situated 15km off the Costa Vicentina coastline in the Alentejo region of Portugal which has one of the lowest density populations in Europe. This coastline is protected by strict environmental laws, has no big developments to speak of and couldn't be more different to the crowded Algarve. Conde Naste said the remarkable pristine beaches "are some of the loveliest in the world". The property is a 1 hour and 20 minutes drive away from Faro airport and 2 hours and 20 minutes from Lisbon Airport.

At this moment she is considering opening up a Montessori  school locally for quality education . Please feel free to further enquire.
