Monte Alentejano T3 / 2.2 ha / Telheiro, Monsaraz

There are places where time slows down. Horta da Belhoa is one of them. Located in Telheiro, a village at the foot of the medieval town of Monsaraz, this property offers everything you seek in authentic Alentejo: a traditional whitewashed house trimmed in blue, surrounded by about 2.2 hectares of olive groves, orchard, and vegetable garden, with Monsaraz castle on the horizon and the Grande Lago Alqueva just minutes away.

The House
A single-storey T3 house with 220 sqm of gross construction area, built around a spacious schist-paved courtyard. The architecture respects the style of the Alentejo farmhouse: barrel tile roof, decorative eaves, traditional chimneys, brick columns, and blue-framed openings. Inside, there is an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, three bedrooms (one en suite), and two additional bathrooms, totaling three bathrooms.

The veranda and the arched porch extend the living space outdoors. Under the porch, the dining area with a barbecue is the perfect setting for long lunches in the shade and summer dinners under one of Europe’s most star-filled skies.

The Exterior
The central courtyard, paved with schist slabs, is the heart of the property: spacious, sheltered, and marked by a centuries-old olive tree and a vine framing the entrance door. Stone walls and annex built with schist, a traditional water tank with spouts, and Mediterranean vegetation beds complete the setting.

The surrounding agricultural land includes:
• Olive grove of about 1.75 ha
• Vegetable garden of about 0.34 ha
• Orchard with citrus, fig, and walnut trees

Additional features include covered parking, solar thermal panels for water heating, and direct road access.

Location
Monsaraz is one of Portugal’s most iconic villages: walled, perched above the plain, and overlooking Alqueva. The region is part of the Dark Sky Alqueva Reserve, recognized for its exceptional night skies, and offers river beaches, wine tourism, Alentejo gastronomy, and historic heritage at every turn.

From the property:
• Monsaraz (village and castle) - just minutes away
• Monsaraz river beach / Lake Alqueva - about 10 minutes
• Reguengos de Monsaraz - about 15 minutes
• Évora - about 50 minutes
• Lisbon - about 2 hours

Ideal as a permanent residence, second home, or weekend retreat. Due to the size of the land, surroundings, and proximity to Monsaraz and Alqueva, it also has potential for a rural tourism or local accommodation project, subject to licensing.

A rare opportunity to acquire a soulful piece of Alentejo, ready to be lived in.
