Poço Novo
Areal, Portugal
RURAL AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY
This 50+ acre property, off the grid in Portugal’s Beja Alentejo region, has a renovated pise farmhouse in a setting of regenerating and restored native cork oak woodlands. Photovoltaics and wind generators provide power. Spring water supplies domestic needs as well as irrigation for a small orchard, and kitchen gardens. A constructed seasonal pond provides rare wildlife habitat in this dry region. Implementation will be incremental over 20 years.
