Photo Gallery for this property.
A unique 4 bedroom property with an adjoining 2 bedroom property situated just 5 minutes from the small market town of Alvaiázere. Alvaiázere is 25 minutes drive from the historic town of Tomar, 50 minutes from the university town of Coimbra, 90 minutes drive from Lisbon and 2 hours drive from Porto.
Set above the road, the houses offer stunning views of the Serra da Alvaiázere (Alvaiázere mountain) and they are sheltered by forestry behind. Access to the houses is by a paved drive up from the main road and also a gravelled drive out at the upper end.
The main house covers a footprint of 63.5m2 and has been restored into a 4 bedroom home. On the ground floor is an open-plan kitchen with granite work-surfaces and a dining and lounge area with beautiful exposed beams, interior pointed stonework and a Jotul wood burner. There is also a cloakroom with shower on this floor.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom plus a study and a newly furnished bathroom. The attic space covers the whole build area and is currently used as a large bedroom/playroom.
The property also has a 2 bedroom annexe house with a footprint of 38.76m2 which is perfect for holiday rentals or family guests. On the ground floor are the 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom, on the first floor is an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with wood burner and balcony looking out across the valley. The house is in an excellent state of repair and could easily be put to use as a rental business immediately.
This property is the first of its kind in this area to have a geo-thermal heating system which makes it not only environmentally friendly but cost effective to run as 80% of the energy is derived from the ground. The geo-thermal system provides both houses with constant hot water year round, central heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer by using a one kilometer long underground earth loop. It is proving to be extremely effective and the current owners are very happy with it.
The two houses are joined by a utility room and indoor barbeque and kitchen area which leads out onto a beautiful sheltered and paved terrace with swimming pool. The pool is topped up by rain water collected and stored during the winter months keeping summer water bills to a minimum.
The land covers an area of 1,844m2 and is terraced at the rear. It has established flower and vegetable beds and a good variety of fruit and nut trees. The property is private in that it is not overlooked by any other properties but not isolated with neighbours on the opposite side of the road. Access is good and there is both a garage and two covered car ports.
The old lime-kiln has been converted into a two-storey workshop and a garage, the lower part also contains a large wine cellar, all supplied with electricity.
This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is looking for an instant steady income as well as a beautifully renovated property with loads of character.
