Description
Our Monte is located in Serpa county in Baixo Alentejo. The area is absolutely beautiful, and located less than an hour from the Alqueva dam and the Guadiana park. Our land is 7 hectares, with a pond and dotted with many oak trees and olive trees. The property is a heaven for wildlife. We have seen more than 125 bird species. We have 2 dogs and a nice flock of hens. We created a permaculture veggie garden, an orchard, and we are looking for someone to help us steward our little corner of paradise.
