GT80: Fonte Espinheiro

1 bed house with ruin plus guestroom/house on 3/4 hectare

Photo Album for this property.

Private, peaceful, solar powered quinta perfect for sustainable living.

Renovated slate house with 1 bedroom plus adjoining ruin with potential for 2nd/3rd bedroom/s, and a further little slate house with 2 rooms.

The main house - a typical Portuguese "Casa Rustica" (rustic house) - comprises kitchen, living room, spacious shower room/WC (newly fitted), store room, and bedroom. Please note: due to the typical construction of a rustic mountain cottage, snuggled up against the hillside, none of the rooms are connected internally and it is necessary to go outside to go between any of the rooms. It would be possible for the new owners to connect some, but not all, of the rooms.

The house has been renovated using quality materials (all the wooden ceilings and floors have recently been replaced with imported douglas fir).

There is an adjoining small ruin (one room) for renovation - it may be possible to add another storey.

Outside is a spacious patio with fabulous views, and a slate dog kennel.

The smaller house currently comprises a store room on the ground floor and a bedroom on the first floor.

Circa 3/4 hectare (1.75 acres) terraced land. 3 good terraces for cultivation, pine & eucalyptus woodland, many large chestnut trees plus apple, cherry and fig trees.

Own abundant water supply (no bills!) - 3 springs which never dry up and a 50m deep water mine.

Included in the sale is the solar system, generator, water pump and tank, washing machine, oven, woodburning stove, and motor cultivator - everything you need for immediate living! In addition (if desired) the vendor will remain locally for a few days after the purchase to show the new owners how everything works.

Good access along a dirt track (circa 1.5km from tarmac road). Private parking. The nearest village, Monte Frio, has a bar/restaurant with small grocery store. Coja, a small riverside town with shops, bars, etc. is circa 10km and Arganil, with all facilities, just a little further.

A lovely property in an idyllic location - totally peaceful and surrounded by nature, with stunning views. Great potential for smallholding/retreat/rental/etc.
