CASTLE FOR SALE
CASTLE FOR SALE
(photos, etc= www.fonseca-robbins.org )
Total ownership of Windmill castle “Castelo do Moinho” Euros 3.000.000
Unique opportunity to own 16% share = Euros 400.000
Pursuant an exclusive and privileged mandate from shareholders, we are looking for a purchaser to acquire a 16% share at the reduced price of Euros 400.000, or, for the entire ownership as above.
Built up area: 1.500m2;
Total plot size: 46.850m2
The shareholding is being held by “Saint Leger Limited” an offshore company registered as an Exempted Company No. E.5885: under the jurisdiction of Turks and Caicos Islands-British West Indies.
BACKGROUNG & DESCRIPTION
The construction of the Moorish style Castle set in middle of the heart of the sunny Algarve, in excellent condition, on the top of a hill amid a grove of orange trees, with incredible 180-degree sea-view between Faro and Loule, started in 1972 and was interrupted for 4-years following the Portuguese revolution. Building has been resumed and it has not stopped since. Only 15 minutes away from Faro airport, the fabulous beaches and the renowned golf courses.
Castelo do Moinho differentiates itself from ancient one-block castles by the concept of the layout of the facilities, which allows total privacy in each self-contained accommodation. It has been designed with very generous amenities. This Castle is an original blend of fortress and palace.
From outside we see an impressive 70m long stone façade with turrets and crenulations, which reminds one of the Middle Ages and gives quite a distinctive approach. Inside, dominate the soft and peaceful alternance of yellow and pink or ochre hand made bricks, terraces, suspended gardens, colonnades and hand painted tiles which make the visitor feel like being in a world of its own; the possession of which today doubtless is an utter privilege. The ageless Moorish style of this work is a piece of art, which needed 18 years of stone dressing and carpentry artistry.
About technique: reliable and well-conceived installations are a prime must in any good quality construction, but when reaching this dimension, domestic standards must be replaced by competent industrial concepts with easy access to plumbing (soft water, hard water, irrigation circuits, pool pipes, sewer, rain water collectors). To cables (electricity, satellite T.V., ISDN – telephone central – 10-lines + extensions). To machines (pumps, heating, air conditioning, water softener, central vacuum cleaners). Own bore hole, central sewer, and automatic irrigation. Moreover, all different accommodations are individually powered thus considerably reducing running costs to effective occupation.
The climate in the Algarve is known as probably the best in Europe and, Portugal is socially and politically, one of the safest countries within the EU.
FACILITIES
· Separate room of 240m2; a 100m2-covered BBQ; a 140m2 club/bar in the dungeon suitable for entertainment; games room.
· Swimming pool (approx.15x7 m); toilets (ladies-gents); laundry/storage; large garage for five (5) cars + ample parking area; hand painted tiles; a windmill (1836) with machinery; garden with automatic irrigation system/lights.
· Beautiful covered dining terrace garden with orange grove.
· Modern kitchen completely equipped.
· Cloak room.
· Large living dining area with a large fireplace.
· Capacity up to 10 bedroom suites.
· Four apartments (of which two large double bedrooms en suite), totally private and technically independent, all enjoying sea view.
Potential use: Company Headquarters; Magic Department Store; Stately Family Home; 5* Restaurant Club/Bar; Superior Guest House; various Commercial Functions.
