Herdade das Castas Nobres has about 30 ha of vineyards with several excellent grape varieties (Aragonês, Alicante Bouschet and Castelão).The vineyard has had good productions due to the fact that it is extremely well treated by the current owners.The entire vineyard is irrigated with water from 6 boreholes. The amount of water is more than enough to supply the endowments of a vineyard in this region of Alentejo without any problem. It also has an excellent pond with very generous dimensions and a metal reservoir that serve as a reserve for water supply.As for the urban area, there is a main house with about 670 m2. There is also a chapel and a garage for about 6 cars.Inside we find 4 bedrooms all with private bathrooms, one of which has a jacuzzi.The large living room also has a fabulous indoor pool with heated water.The kitchen is fully equipped with the best there is. There is solar power supplying power throughout the property. Outside the garden there is a huge pond surrounded by a beautiful large garden.A little away from the main house with a view over the vineyard, there are still two houses converted into high quality rural tourism. Each house can accommodate 6 people with all amenities. There is a project to implement and increase this tourist area, which involves the construction of 10 more 'bungalows' in the shape of wine barrels scattered throughout the vineyard area. Near these houses there are two huge pavilions with about 1000 m2 each. One will be a warehouse for agricultural use and the other can be used for various events and/or transformed into a winery (project under study), to make wine from the grapes of the house and other vineyards that so wish.The property is located very close to Évora (30 Km) and therefore to the A6. It is 160 km from Lisbon and about 70 km from Spain (Badajoz).It is, therefore, an excellent option for business and leisure. Energy Rating: E ref:EXP_20
