Original listing description, in Portuguese.

Off-Grid Homestead & Project Canvas near Aldeia das Dez – Restored 2-Story Granite Structure, Ruin & Year-Round Water from Four Water Sources Location: Quinta das Tapadas, Aldeia das Dez (Oliveira do Hospital), Central Portugal Land Size: Approx. 1.7 Hectares (4.2 Acres) — With potential to expand past 2 hectares (see details below) Escape to the tranquil hills of Central Portugal with this unique 1.7-hectare quinta nestled in the pristine nature of Quinta das Tapadas. This property offers the absolute best of both worlds: complete seclusion with no direct neighbors, yet still close to the historic village of Aldeia das Dez. The property is an easily accessible blank canvas, featuring a beautiful natural setting with scenic views opening up toward the Alva Valley. The Location & Excellent Access (Secluded yet Convenient): Vehicle Access: Unlike many rustic properties in the region, this land boasts very good, easy access. It comfortably accommodates larger vehicles, which is an invaluable advantage for delivering building materials, operating machinery, or large motor homes. Aldeia das Dez (Minutes away): Walk via a historic Roman path or take a very short drive into this charming, historic schist village, home to local cafes, a mini-market, and well-known local restaurants/tapas bars. Oliveira do Hospital (20 minutes away): A quick drive connects you to the main regional hub, offering large supermarkets, health services, banks, schools, and a daily fresh produce market. The Land & Terrain (Easily Workable Clean Slate): Ideal Topography: The 1.7 hectares offer desirable mix of sloped land and beautiful flat terraces. This layout provides variety, making the land easy to work, terrace-farm, or manage. The Natural Reset: While the area experienced a wildfire last year, it has provided a fantastic silver lining. Previously, the land was heavily overgrown with dense brush and invasive eucalyptus. The fire acted as a natural reset, clearing out the dense growth and saving the next owner heavy manual clearing labor. Regeneration: The land is now a clean, manageable blank canvas, already undergoing a beautiful, vibrant re-greening process with resilient local flora and established fruit-bearing plants ready to be integrated into a future homestead or permaculture design. The Stone Structures: The property features two traditional granite structures, both of which stood perfectly safe and unharmed: The 2-Level Restored Granite House: With a footprint of approximately 40 square meters across two levels, the heavy structural restoration on this former ruin is already complete. It features an exceptionally strong, modern, fireproof roof. The building is a structural blank slate, allowing you to design the interior layout exactly to your liking. The house is currently registered as an agricultural building. The Large Granite Ruin: A second substantial stone footprint, similar in size. The ruin is not registered, but this can easily be done if desired. Water Security: Water is gold in Portugal, and this property is extraordinarily blessed with four distinct sources: A bordering water mine with crystal clear water flowing directly onto the land, running all year round. A traditional stone well. A separate deep-bore well (furo) ensuring an abundant, reliable backup supply. A seasonal water mine that flows beautifully through the autumn, winter, and spring. Expansion Opportunity (Cross the 2-Hectare Threshold): While the property sits privately on 1.7 hectares of nature, the neighboring land is also potentially available for purchase. For buyers interested in expanding the estate past the magic 2-hectare mark – which frequently unlocks smoother paths to official building and agricultural permissions in Portugal. The vendors are happy to introduce you to the neighbor.
