Typical Alentejo House/Alcaria Ruiva

Where time slows down and Alentejo reveals all its beauty!

There are places that win us over with their tranquility. Others, with their authenticity.
And there are properties like this one, which manage to bring both together.

In the heart of the typical village of Alcaria Ruiva, in the municipality of Mértola, you will find this charming house, where the serenity of the Lower Alentejo can be felt in every detail.
At the front of the house, the terrace offers an absolutely unobstructed view over the village’s whitewashed houses and the vast golden plains stretching to the horizon, providing a unique setting to enjoy the sunrise, a late afternoon, or simply the peace that only Alentejo knows how to offer.

Comprising eight rooms, this house combines comfort, functionality, and enormous potential, adapting perfectly to different lifestyles.
The social area was designed to prioritize conviviality, featuring a spacious open-plan living and dining room connected to a fully equipped kitchen and guest bathroom, creating a welcoming and harmonious environment for hosting family and friends.
The private area consists of two bedrooms, one of them a comfortable suite with bathroom and walk-in closet.
Inside the house, another very characteristic feature of traditional Alentejo homes stands out: a wood-fired oven, perfect for preparing flavorful meals and keeping tradition alive, adding personality and authenticity to the property.
With an independent exit at the back of the property, it allows for the creation of a separate space to generate income.
The property also includes a storage room and is in good condition, ready to be enjoyed from day one.

Location is another of its great strengths. Set in a village full of history and tradition, it is just 30 minutes from the magnificent river beaches of Mina de São Domingos, one of the most sought-after destinations in the region, where nature, leisure, and heritage coexist in perfect harmony.
