The property sits in Bocca de Mata within the municipality and parish of Alvaiázere, approached from a paved road and with partly enclosed boundaries. The vendor describes a private, secluded feel in the garden while not being isolated, and the land includes established fruit trees and a mature olive tree. Nearby towns and facilities are accessible by car: Alvaiazere and its services are around five minutes away, and Lisbon airport is entered into the details at roughly 100 minutes by driving.

You enter directly into the first of two lounge areas, a bright, versatile sitting room with insulated plasterboard walls and central heating radiators. The room has space for formal dining if required and provides direct access to the kitchen and a doorway out into the garden. Adjoining this is a second, larger living area where exposed stonework marks the opening between the rooms; this lounge features a wood-burning stove as well as central heating, giving two practical heating options and a cosy focal point for winter evenings. From the second lounge the circulation continues into the three-bedroom wing. The first bedroom is a good-sized double with an original stone wall and a window overlooking the road. The second bedroom is the smallest and currently used as a single; it would also work well as a home office or hobby room. The third bedroom is the largest, notably bright with good ceiling height and a recessed area suitable for built-in storage; it retains a former external door which illustrates the cottage’s evolution and enjoys an outlook across surrounding olive groves. The accommodation is completed by a functional bathroom. The kitchen sits off the first lounge, described as bright and well proportioned with three double-glazed windows (one fitted with a fly screen), fitted cupboards, ample worktop and traditional tile detailing; there is room for a small dining table now or a larger table if preferred.

The garden and surrounding land total about 1,500m2 of mostly flat, manageable terrain. Boundaries are clearly defined and the plot contains established fruit trees plus a substantial olive tree. A terrace area is recorded and there is a direct doorway from the living space to the garden, making outside access straightforward. The vendor assessment highlights privacy and a sense of seclusion in the garden while retaining neighbouring presence nearby.

The house benefits from double glazing, central heating and a wood-burning stove. Utilities are mains electricity and mains water, with a gas water heater installed. The building is connected to a paved road and there is private parking space on the plot; there is no formal garage but the agent notes room to create a carport of up to around 40m2. The property has been recently painted and internal improvements such as insulation and modernised plasterboard walls have been carried out, so it presents as ready to occupy while allowing scope for gradual modernisation.

This is a traditionally styled country home that aims to combine quiet, rural living with convenience. The agent notes Elvira and Alvaiazere facilities including supermarkets, restaurants, schools and a health centre are within a short drive, and there are several river beaches within 20 minutes, including Foz de Alge. For longer journeys Lisbon airport is recorded in the details at around 100 minutes by car.
