Once a forgotten traditional Portuguese farmhouse abandoned in 2016, this beautiful space has been lovingly brought back to life. Located at the end of a quiet mountain road and surrounded by wild nature, it offers a true escape—yet it's just 1 km from the charming town of Monchique.

The main house includes five cozy bedrooms—three on the ground floor and two upstairs—alongside two charming caravans, each with private entrances for peaceful seclusion. A shared community kitchen and living area offer spaces for connection and creativity.

Relax in the wood-fired sauna, filled with eucalyptus leaves and overlooking the valley. Then cool off in the mountain-water shower or dip into the plunge pool. Nearby, a magical cork oak forest filled with moss-covered Neolithic rocks provides a perfect spot for meditation.

A mountain trail starts right at the doorstep—ideal for catching breathtaking sunrises on the south side, while the western side gifts stunning sunsets daily.

Spread across three hectares, the property offers plenty of spots to relax, create, or work. Guests are encouraged to share their talents, and there’s room to host day workshops or small events.

There’s an organic veggie garden for those who love farm-to-table living, and a curated boutique offering vintage, second-hand, and handmade clothing. One of the residents also runs a ceremonial tattoo practice on-site.

This is a sustainability-focused community that thrives on shared resources and creativity. Whether you're passionate about natural building, plant dyes, or launching a small-scale project, this could be the perfect place to explore your ideas.

If you're curious, feel free to request a copy of the community manual to see if this space is the right fit for you.

Community

Here, community is more than just a concept; it’s a shared commitment. Residents are encouraged to actively participate not only financially, but also by taking responsibility, contributing to group decisions, and offering two hours of support each week to help care for and improve the property.

We hold regular weekly meetings where everyone has a voice and space to share thoughts and feelings.

The community is in a beautiful state of transition, with ongoing small projects aimed at upgrading the space and enriching the lives of all who live here.
