House for sale in Oliveira de Frades, Portugal

Located in Soutinho, a sunny village in the municipality of Oliveira de Frades, in the Lafões region, in central Portugal. Despite being set in a typical rural environment, surrounded by nature, the property is only 12 km from Oliveira de Frades, a town that offers all commercial facilities and services, 50 km from Viseu, the historic, cosmopolitan, and cultural district capital, and 100 km from Porto. The Lafões region is a valley meandered by the Vouga River, bordered to the north by the Magic Mountains and to the south by the Caramulo Mountains. The mild climate is provided by lush oak forests, cultivated agricultural terraces, rivers, streams, wells, and corgas, which refresh the environment on hot summer days. Just 7 km away is the paradisiacal reservoir of Ribeiradio Dam! The property houses a typical 19th-century Portuguese house. With 150 m2, spread over two floors, on the ground floor there are two compartments that served as a cellar and storage, while on the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a large kitchen equipped with a wood-fired oven and a large chimney. The house is oriented towards a courtyard surrounded by a high wall, with several stables of 50 m2, another construction of 35 m2, an entrance gate, and an exit door, all built-in granite. On the outside of the house, facing the land, there is a charming threshing floor with a granary. At one end of the land, there is a large tank that, in the past, irrigated the entire property. The water that supplies the tank comes from a mine located in another part of the land, belonging to the property. The land is divided into three gentle terraces supported by sturdy granite walls. There are 2,550 m2 of fertile soil, where, many years ago, a rich orchard and a lovely vegetable garden thrived. It receives sun all day long and offers a breathtaking view of the Magic Mountains. The house needs a complete restoration, which is advantageous because it allows you to acquire the property for the price of the land, enabling renovation according to your tastes and dreams. The works and restoration process require time, patience, and professionalism, but in the end, they result in a dream come true! I am here to help! Feel free to ask questions! Come visit us!
