Property Description

Quinta dos Castanheiros is a traditional country house that has been substantially extended and modernized over the years to create a beautiful three-bedroom villa, with extensive surrounding gardens and views over the historic village of Monsanto.

The villa is surrounded by 2.6ha of fenced meadows with more than 120 ancient olive trees (they produce at least 60 litres of olive oil per year), as well as a variety of fruit, citrus and nut trees, including pear, cherry, lemons, oranges and chestnuts.

The property is accessed via a traditional private cobblestone driveway, lined with cherry trees, and has parking for at least 3 cars.

Surrounding the villa is a beautiful covered porch, providing ample space for outdoor living and for enjoying the far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside.

At the rear of the property, there is a stunning 6×4 meter swimming pool with enough space for sun loungers, a dining table and chairs. There is also a double garage/equipment room and a garden shed.

Inside, the property has a large living room with two double French doors that provide maximum light and open directly onto the balcony. There is also a modern wood-burning stove to ensure the room remains cosy on cold winter nights.

The kitchen/dining room is well equipped with high-quality cabinetry and electrical equipment with a door leading onto the balcony where there is an outdoor kitchen and dining space, perfect for enjoying in the evening as the sun sets.

The 3 double bedrooms are located at the rear of the building, overlooking the private pool, and all have large built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there is a separate bathroom with a toilet which is shared by the other two bedrooms.

In addition to the main residence, there is a separate apartment on the top floor, with completely private access. The apartment has a fully functional kitchenette, bathroom and space for two double beds. This would be a perfect space for extended family stays or to relax in the high season.

The property also has six solar panels for energy supply and two solar panels for water heating. The villa is approximately a 10-minute drive from the A23, which gives easy access to the cities of Castelo Branco and Covilhã and the nearest city of Fundão.
