Property Description

Fabulous approximately 2.5- hectare quinta with two separate dwellings: Casa Sesmarias and Casa Raposa.

Casa Sesmarias (100m2) is a spacious, professionally, recently renovated (2018) granite stone barn retaining many original features. It backs on to a private holiday house but the lay out of the property ensures total privacy.

Casa Raposa (50 m2) is a detached, newly constructed (Ecositana, 2019) timber house.
Both dwellings are connected to mains electricity and private water and have sceptic tanks. Both houses are ready to move into, and the land is well maintained.

It is not often that a quinta of this standard comes on the market. Buyers looking for a
quality turn-key property need look no further. It’s location is ideal, being rural enough
for a quiet life, but only a stone’s throw from the pleasant and well-appointed village
of Vale de Prazeres. Drive a little further and arrive at the prosperous market town
Fundao where you will find everything you need for daily life. The attractive university
town of Covilha is only a 30 minute drive away, while Castelo Branco, 40 km south,
offers all the amenities of a larger city.
This area of Portugal has much to offer in terms of climate, terrain, history and
accessibility. It is one of the best regions in the country for fruit growing, and its
cherries are world-renown. Hike in the beautiful Gardunha mountains, or don your
skis when the snow falls on the Serra da Estrela. Explore ancient stone villages, or
take a local train to Lisbon along the picturesque Beira Alta line.
