Quinta do Codeçal

Property in central Portugal

Quinta do Codeçal

Situated in beautiful countryside, not far from the village of Avô, this easily reached, 3 hectare tract, a mixture of sloped grazing, flat arable land and established trees – Olives, Chestnuts, Pines – is a very useful Small Holding.

With both power and a good water supply on site, irrigation is from a stream via 2 reservoirs, one natural, one built of stone and concrete, and full vehicle access across the land, it is an ideal set up for diversified farming. Currently, buildings consist of a ruined stone house and a modern storage shed, which has electricity.

Yes, it’s a good sized, productive, working farm, but it sits in an increasingly popular rural holiday destination; quiet but not isolated, and a comfortable drive from both of Portugal’s major airports, even better, it’s 200 meters from a River Beach and a few moments’ walk from a bar – a bit of research, a little ingenuity and that good idea of yours could become a viable second income.

The town of Arganil, which has full services – shops, market, schools, a doctor – everything needed – is about 30 minutes by car; there are small supermarkets in the local villages; the University City of Coimbra is just over an hour, the drive to the coast takes half an hour more.

For the buyer seeking land, and maybe a more simple way of life, this property is well worth considering, not least because it’s already got the basics; good ground with panoramic views, power, water, good road access – it’s all there, ready to upgrade – if you have the aptitude and imagination, it has the potential.
