Architectural Glass Wall Yurt Residence near Aljezur

A rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built, insulated glass wall yurt residence near Aljezur, Algarve.

Manufactured by Yurt Workshop (www.yurtworkshop.com), these yurts were engineered from the outset for year-round living, not glamping or seasonal use.

The main offering consists of a connected 24-ft and 14-ft yurt, forming a fully functional one-bedroom living unit, complemented by a separate standalone 14-ft yurt available individually.

The yurts are assembled and viewable by appointment near  Aljezur.

This is the core asset: a rare, integrated yurt system designed to function as a comfortable home, retreat space, or high-end guest unit.
