Photo Album for this property. summary pdf
The Quinta do Cortiço is a vast 5.8 hectare (14 acre) smallholding located completely on its own, hidden away in beautiful surroundings 1.5 km from the village of Quintas da Torre where there is a café / bar and small general store and a 20 minute car ride to the market town of Fundão.
There are over 100 olive trees, 60 good cork oak trees, a lot of mimosa trees that can be thinned for winter fire wood. The big open fields provide more than ample scope for animal keeping (horses, sheep, goats etc) and for vegetable growing, plus there are plenty of spots where yurts, tipis or caravans could be put.
There is roughly 200 meters of river/stream frontage with some lovely shaded spots under fig trees to relax by the water. The property has a massive feel to it, it's absolutely private and all borders are lined with large trees.
The house has a 68 m² footprint and is built of solid local stone, it may legally be enlarged
to a total living space of 250 m². A further house may be built on defined parts of the land,
also with a total size of 250 m² living space.
The existing house has a brand new insulated roof on it, boarded on the inside with pine tongue and
groove boards, a damp proof concrete floor has been laid and a new front door and window have been
fitted. The interior is one empty space that needs to be made habitable. On one side of the house
is a stone built store / barn that could either be used as part of the accommodation, for animals,
or for a wood store etc. On the other side is a great original stone built baking oven still in good
working order, and in front of the house is a stone built chicken pen and hut.
Approximately 30 meters below the house is a very good spring water well, plus there is a bore hole providing an endless supply of good spring water.
Electricity is connected to the just inside the property border.
