Quinta do Fernando – PD0416
Property in central Portugal
Quinta do Fernando – PD0416
On forestry path in a beautiful valley stands a ruined schist cottage; several kilometers from the nearest town and with no close neighbours it’s a property offering genuine opportunities for a slower, more natural way of life.
The sale consists of a building in need of total restoration, the footprint is 60m2 over two storey, and land running to 5000m2 (approx. 1.25 acres/.5 hectares) much of which is tree covered, but includes a flat agricultural terrace sited just below the house. There is no electricity but most importantly, water, for irrigation and general use, comes from a mountain stream.
Currently, vehicle access is not practical but, in return for receiving the full asking price, the Vendor will clear a usable track.
Locally the area still maintains many of the old traditions, it’s peaceful but not boring, there’s usually something going on most weekends over the summer.
Full facilities are to be found at Góis, 20 minutes by car, as are the main road links to further afield – Coimbra is about 45 minutes’ drive; the Atlantic Coast, renowned for its beaches and surfing takes an hour and a half.
This stunning location is secluded but not remote, small village communities, most with a cafe/shop are within reach, it’s a superb spot for biking and walking with access to clear, clean river beaches for swimming – ideal for anyone seeking a self-contained and, realistically, off-grid lifestyle.
