About this land

Original listing description, in Portuguese.

Set on a peaceful hilltop just 20 minutes from the center of Tavira, this traditional Algarvian windmill offers a rare opportunity to restore a unique piece of local heritage while enjoying truly spectacular surroundings. The property sits on a 520 m² plot and benefits from 360º panoramic views across the countryside, stretching all the way to the sea. On clear days, the horizon seems endless and it is even possible to see Spain in the distance. The views alone are simply stunning. The windmill is currently registered as a warehouse and most of its original stone structure remains intact, offering an authentic base for renovation. A rehabilitation project was previously presented to Tavira City Hall, receiving positive feedback in 2021 for a renovation respecting the traditional windmill structure. While the approval would need to be renewed, the project drawings provide a valuable reference for future redevelopment. Access to the property is straightforward via a well-maintained dirt road, easily reachable by car. Water and electricity are available in the nearby area, though connection to the property will require some investment by the future owner. The surrounding area includes a few neighboring homes, yet the elevated position of the windmill ensures a remarkable sense of privacy and openness. The manageable size of the land makes it ideal for those seeking independence and tranquility without the upkeep of a large rural property. For buyers looking for something truly distinctive in the Algarve a project full of character, history, and one of the most breathtaking views in the region this windmill presents a rare opportunity.
