Full Description
Quatro Palmeiras occupies a peaceful location on the southern slope of the Serra Guardunha, near the village of Vale de Prazeres, in the Beira Baixa region of Portugal.
The location is ideal for those seeking an outdoor lifestyle in contact with nature.
The property consists of a large house (500 m²), a separate annex (71 m²) and extensive grounds (10,415 m²) in the middle of beautiful countryside.
The house is well presented and carefully organized. It has been renovated and includes a complete renovation of the electrical circuits and new plumbing installed throughout the house. It is served by electricity from the grid, bottled gas, a septic tank, a borehole for drinking water, and a wood-burning stove on the ground floor. The annex is partially remodeled, the living room is finished, and the remaining rooms await your personal touches. Perfect for a Guest House . The land is terraced and faces south. Here you will find a vegetable garden, a vineyard, about 100 olive trees and many varieties of fruit trees, including citrus, apricot, pomegranate, fig, apple, plum, and cherry trees. The land also has two small water springs (wells). No chemical pesticides are used, and the olive production is of high quality. At the rear of the house, you will find a large and beautiful 70 m² covered patio for your outdoor living experience. A perfect place to enjoy the land/garden, regardless of the weather. Step inside and you will find a large 7 m long open-plan kitchen/living/dining room.
From the kitchen, a small hallway leads to the spacious master bedroom and adjacent bathroom. The bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors, while the fully equipped bathroom has a toilet, shower, sink, and washing machine. Directly adjacent to the kitchen is another smaller bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, which currently serves as a TV room but could also be used as an office. The rest of the ground floor is accessed through a door leading to a hallway and features a spacious pantry/storage room and a large garage with space for two cars.
A marble staircase leads to the first floor, with its luxurious bathroom, kitchen dining room, spacious living room, and three more generous double bedrooms. The front garden is accessed from this floor. The first bedroom has direct access to the extended balcony, which offers particularly magnificent views of the rural landscape and surrounding villas.
Another staircase leads to the second-floor landing, with a door leading to four more generous rooms. These rooms are currently used for storage and await renovation, with the necessary lighting/electrical outlets and plumbing already installed. The location: The peaceful setting offers the best of both worlds – surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet only a 10-minute walk from the village and the train station with direct trains to Lisbon Airport. The village has several amenities, such as a pharmacy, doctor’s office, post office, community hall, mini-market, bakery, cafes, church, and several bars. The main A23 motorway is also nearby, as are the large cities of Fundão, Castelo Branco, and Covilhã. Covilhã provides access to the Serra da Estrela and the highest mountain in mainland Portugal. Lisbon is 2 hours and 20 minutes from Castelo Branco, and the Spanish border is only a 30-minute drive away.
