Property Description

Quinta do Paraíso is a working sheep farm with organic certification and is located in a peaceful, secluded area with stunning views of the Serra da Estrela.

The property spans 52ha, with two long streams flowing across it towards the Mondego River, providing water for irrigation.

The farm includes 150 Serra da Estrela sheep, 70 Pedrês Portuguesa chickens, and features self-sufficient water from a deep borehole and solar energy for all needs.

The main house of 180m2 has 3 floors and includes a large living room, kitchen with a wood-burning stove, and a bathroom on the ground floor. The second floor has two bedrooms and a small living room.

The attic is spacious and used as a bedroom. There are also two other houses in ruin, one measuring 151m2 and the other 30m2, both ready for restoration.

The farm also has a recent 360m2 barn with thermal insulation for the sheep, a 42m2 chicken coop, and a gutter system that collects rainwater in a 50,000-litre tank. The property is entirely off-grid with solar power and multiple water sources, including a borehole, water wells, and river water for irrigation.

Paraíso Farm has all the conditions for those who want a healthier and more balanced life in connection with nature.

Although close enough to Gouveia, Seia or Celorico da Beira – and all the idyllic mountain villages – with restaurants, local products such as sheep’s milk, goat’s milk and wonderful cheeses, it is sufficiently secluded, safeguarding the necessary peace to enjoy the nature and animals.

The land is a unique local jewel, with magnificent views, containing buildings, waterfalls, garden areas, fruit trees (planted 4 years ago), many stones to build walls, flowerbeds.

It is the ideal land for families or adventurers who want to live independently, completely self-sustainable and with many unique characteristics, which make it even more special – the full moons are magical, the sunsets of different tones of pink, yellow and red when it shines on the mountain.

The farm has also great tourist potential and the ruins could be used if rebuilt. Local builders are very reliable and affordable and can easily finish existing ruins. For the reconstruction of the large building, you can awaken your architectural imagination to build a beautiful family home
