4 bedroom house with garden in medieval walled town
Photo Gallery for this property.
Extensively restored 4 bedroom stone house with walled landscaped garden. The house is sited on an open square in the centre of this historic medieval walled town of Marvão, a future UNESCO world heritage site in the Alto Alentejo region of Portugal. This property is an excellent investment opportunity!
- Living room (14m2) This is a very elegant room. The floor is polished antique pine, the ceiling is decorated with original plaster moldings with an elaborate centre rose.
Dining room (13m2) The wall between the kitchen and dining room has been replaced by a brick wall so that although the two rooms are separate there is a feeling of openness and space. The floor is polished antique pine. There is an antique fitted wall cupboard and wood burner. The view is incredible, you can see Spain and Portugal from your dining room.
Kitchen (18m2) This is an open plan kitchen/dining room, it has been modernised so as to be a fully functional space. It has ample storage and is fitted with the essential appliances (oven, hob, extractor). The views from the spacious room are stunning. The original massive chimney has been restored, the fireplace is so big you can stand inside it.
Bedroom 1 (14m2) Large double bedroom with painted wooden fitted closet. Ceiling with antique chestnut beams. Tiled floors.
Bedroom 2 (13m2) Large double bedroom, antique hand cut granite floors. Ceiling painted wood, chestnut beams. Panoramic views over Alentejo plains to the mountains in Spain.
Bedroom 3 (10.5m2) Double bedroom with large fitted closet. Antique pine floors, painted wood ceiling, views of the castle.
Bedroom 4 (10.7m2) Double bedroom, terracota tiles on floor, painted wood and chestnut beams. Panoramic views across Alentejo plains.
Bathroom 1 (3m2) Floor to ceiling tiles, wet room, unusual tiles (mosaic effect). Very large walk-in shower.
Bathroom 2 (5m2) Bath enclosed in peach marble, the floor is also in highly polished peach marble. Walls tiled in cream and blue hand painted tiles, views across the Alentejo plains.
Garden (50m2) The garden is completely walled in stone. There is a lower terrace which is paved. This makes a wonderfully sheltered and private area, for dinning or sunbathing, it is not overlooked. The raised terrace provides an area with spectacular views, across Portugal and Spain.
The property has a privileged location on the central square of Marvão town which is listed as a Portuguese Heritage Site. The Portuguese government has invested millions of euros over the last two years installing new infrastructure so that Marvão will receive UNESCO designation as a World Heritage Site.
A beautiful home in a stunning location and also an excellent investment property - the area recently featured on the TV programme "A Place in the Sun". Accommodation for visitors from all over the world is in short supply so this house has high rental potential for 8 or more months a year either the whole house or B&B. This is a resort area with swimming pools, one enormous one in the river. A large lake where you can swim or sail. A golf course at present closed but due to re-open. Walking tours, already well-established using the old roman roads, and bird-watching tours. The owners of the property have a long-established business in the town and will be available to help in relocation.
