The house:-
An old house with annexes in need of renovation located at the edge of a small mountain
village with beautiful views over the surrounding area. The house is originally from the 19th century and has some
remarkable architecture with distinguishable details which clearly denounces that this property was once inhabited by a rich
family. Although in need of immediate repairs, the house maintains the unique character that once entitled it as one of the
most important houses in the area.
The property is detached and both house and annexes are terraced. Inside, the house
consists of a large hall, a lounge, 4 bedrooms, a dinning room, a kitchen and a cave used as wine storage. As from the outside,
also in the inside we can see some distinguishable characteristics, like the very high and large double doors in every division,
the large windows, the finishing on the wood and the remarkable chimney made with massive oak pieces sustained by a well shaped
wood column.
There was once main’s electric connected that will need reactivation. Main’s water and phone
are near and can easily be connected. Structurally the house is very sound, with very thick and straight stone walls. The
house will benefit of immediately roof change as well as the ceiling and floorboards throughout. Attached
to the house and creating a “U” shape, there are several annexes which surround a nice private patio that can
be used as an off road parking area. In these annexes we can find an external kitchen with an unusual bread oven, and two
large buildings with several divisions that were always used as storage.
The land:-
In the back of the house there is a piece of flat land with approx 500m2 with several
fruit trees and with enough space for a swimming pool.
On the left side of the house and accessed via a beautiful walking path, there is
a water tank with a nice terrace on top with beautiful views till the distant Sicó Mountain. Access
until the property is tarmac made.
The area:- The property is located in a small village on the top of a beautiful
hill not far from the parish villages of Alvorge and Santiago da Guarda. The town of Ansião is only 10 minutes away but several shops, cafés/bars
and restaurants can be found near the property, in most of the cases no more than 5 minutes away. The area is very beautiful
and attractive due to the original landscape that resembles the Mediterranean landscapes. The region is an invitation to an
immense exploration; full of caves, canyons and mountains, yet not far from the coast (40 minutes driving).
