Property Description
“Offgrid Villa”
Situated in a small private valley, with picturesque views of monsanto mountain, is this offgrid dream and beautiful rustic home Quinta JaBella.
Nestled amidst a mature and sprawling expanse, this magnificent southwest facing two storey dwelling boasts a host of unique and appealing features. Set well back from the road and sitting on secluded grounds of 3.5 ha this stunning 3 bedroom county house offers a superb mix of generous indoor and outdoor space. The house is 130m2 with a wrap around terrace (180m2) and a 24m2 upstairs balcony extending from the master bedroom providing the perfect spot to enjoy the majestic sunsets and starry night skies.
Internally the property comprises of a generous sized living room, with an inbuilt double sided metre log burner for those cosy winter nights, a bright spacious kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms as well as a fully tiled bathroom. In addition, there is an outdoor kitchen with BBQ/dining area, an outdoor bathroom and an additional bedroom which could be used as an annex for friends and family or a potential rental opportunity.
The construction work (which is still ongoing) has all been carried out in accordance with EU building regulations. The walls are 70cm thick with 4cm of insolation plus thermal insulation sheet. All floors are thermally insulated with damp proof membrane and the second floor has been sound proofed with exposed wooden beams. The roof has a thickness of 30cm plus tiles and is double insulated inside and out with thermal blankets. The house runs on a 6kw solar system with 8 rolls cells (630Amp). There is a borehole at the top of the property allowing for water to be gravity fed to the house (2bar) for the watering of the garden. Also a separate 3.5 bar water system to run the house. The property also has a drainage system that protects from heavy rain. There are two water storage tanks, a 15,000 litre tank and a 9,000 litre tank which has been convered into a plunge pool with a built in bench, a sunbathing deck and canopy. The perfect spot to cool down on those hot summer days. There is brand new air conditioning installed, 12,000 BTUs upstairs and 9,000 BTUs downstairs. The upstairs is enough to cool upstairs and sends the remainder down the stairs. A unique feature of the house is all the fascia and eaves for the roof have been made of original Welsh slate from the town of Cardigan Bay.
The quinta is easily accessed via two roads to the main entrance. There is also a track at the bottom of the land leading directly to the village. There is a wraparound drive and parking all around the house. The land is fenced and walled providing security for animals. There is a secondary fence around the house for security and seperation of animals. As we are owners of large dogs the secondary fence endures the security of the dogs and the house. There is a track around the borders which provides access for any works and also acts as a fire break. There is a separate piece of private land with its own access, water and electricity, located at the top of the property, which used to be rented to caravan/motorhome owners. There is the potential to build a cabin on this plot allowing for an income generating opportunity.
Description of this stunning home would not be complete without mention of the beautiful grounds which are brimming with flowering plants, shrubs and more than 200 fruit trees, olive trees and oaks. There is an abundance of space for gardening and growing vegetables. At the bottom of the land is a large flat paddock suitable for animals and/or stables. There is also a chicken coop large enough to house 20 chickens under the shade of a large cork oak. In winter, there is a beautiful stream that runs through the grounds. Anywhere along the steam, if necessary, a new well could be installed. There are also two lakes, one at the bottom of the property and one at the top which can be seen as you enter the quinta through the iron gates which are hung on stone pillars. At the very top of the property there is a forest providing a sustainable unlimited amount of firewood.
The house is just a short 3 minute walk to the bars, restaurant and small shop in the village and a 35 minute drive to the city of castelo branco. The property is a 15 minute drive from the three famous lakes of idanha a nova, penha garcia and meimao. There is a friendly community in the area whom often hold markets, car boot sales and other events so there’s many opportunities to mingle.
