UNDER OFFERQuinta with 150m2 ruin and 2,700m2 land with cork, olive and fruit trees.
Photo Gallery for this property.
A charming quinta with 2,700 m2 of fertile land and submitted and approved plans for a rural tourism project. Should the new owners decide to do so, this quinta offers the ideal opportunity to build and develop a small rural tourism business.
The plot is surrounded by nature and would suit lovers of the "great outdoors". Walking, cycling and bird watching are just a few examples of the huge touristic potential. The property is conveniently and attractively located in the outskirts of the Serra de Sicó Mountains and within a short driving distance of the historic town of Tomar.
The ruin currently has a 150 m2 footprint which could be increased up to 300 m2. However, if the building was demolished, a new house with a footprint of up to 400 m2 could be built in accordance with local by-laws. There is also a part built brick building that has a concrete base ideal for hard-standing a caravan. Alternatively it could be used as a patio or completed and used for storage.
The property has its own water supply via a well although mains water exists within a short distance. In addition mains electricity is on the plot and the telephone line is close so connection to these two services would only be a nominal cost. Tarmac access is only 20m away.
An old stone wall surrounds the plot which, though in need of some repair, adds to the charm of the property. The flora consists mainly of cork oak, olive and pine trees but also includes a couple of productive fig and cherry trees. The soil is fertile having been worked and cultivated for many years. Beautiful panoramic views over the western mountain range and a wonderful sunset completes the picture.
The next café, kinder garden and primary school are about 3KM away and restaurants, pharmacy and general shops are only 4KM away. The council capital of Alvaiázere with its banks, shops, schools and public offices is 8KM away as is the IC3 road which connects Coimbra in the North with the historic templar town of Tomar, 25KM away, in the South. The historic and religious towns of Batalha and Fatima are less than an hour's drive away and the nearest main-line railway station is located 30KM away in Pombal. Finally, the airport of Lisbon is around 150KM away.
In summary Quinta do Fojo offers the opportunity to develop a small business or to simply build a house in which to live, relax and enjoy the surrounding views in a tranquil environment.
