Extremely pretty smallholding with 2 hectares (5 acres) of land. Renovated, solid granite stone, 2 bedroom house with water and electricity. Open sunny land with fruit trees, 2 spring wells, good views, no neighbours and easy access. 4 km from Penamacor.

If you are looking for a lovely sunny smallholding with a full assortment of fruit and olive trees, spring water and a charmingly renovated stone cottage ready to move into, this property could well be for you!

The cottage has an 81.5 m² footprint, has excellent granite stone walls, with electricity and well water connected. The roof is brand new and the cottage has recently been renovated and finished (except kitchen units and sink, that are not to be included) in June 2011.

The internal natural stone walls have been nicely pointed; there are pinewood ceilings throughout and terracotta floor tiles. The front door opens into the kitchen / diner, off this is an arched stone corridor leading to two bedrooms and a beige tiled bathroom with a shower, toilet and wash basin. The toilet etc is connected to a soak away septic tank. The cottage has wooden windows and shutters, it's being very tastefully renovated, and has a lovely ambiance to it.

We are also putting a 2 meter wide stone patio around the front and to one side of the cottage to enjoy eating out on, or just simply sit, taking in the view on a warm evening with a glass of wine.

Directly in front of the cottage are two young lemon and tangerine trees and a gorgeous, ancient, round topped stone baking oven still in perfect condition. If not used for its original purpose it still makes a lovely feature. In a shaded spot under a large tree close to the cottage is a small round old stone table with stone seats, and another nice feature is the stone walled chicken coup and house.

The property is situated in a very quiet, private and picturesque spot with far reaching views over the land and surrounding countryside.

There are two spring water wells on the land, various types of trees and shrubs and many newly planted fruit trees including figs, cherries, loquat, apples, pears, nectarines, peaches, plums, oranges, tangerines, lemons, pomegranate and kiwi fruit, and one part of the land borders with a little stream.

The smallholding has very good access and is located 4 km from the small town of Penamacor, 1.5 km from the village of Aldeia do Bispo with a restaurant, small shops and cafes etc, 35 km from Fundão and 46 km from Castelo Branco.

This is a great, historic, well priced property, ready to move into.
