About this land

A small schist village with 5ha of land, with total privacy, facing the River Arda. It consists of several two-storey buildings, in ruins, with a gross construction area of 513m2. The buildings are located on an elevated part of the property, which offers a panoramic view over the agricultural and forestry area. A feasibility study for a tourism project for the property is at an early stage and can be shared with potential interested parties as soon as it is finalised, which could serve as a starting point for investment in this area, with greater security. The property has an agricultural area, made up of fields of fertile land, in the form of terraces, with stone walls, which were once used for cultivation and which extend down to the river. Where, can still be found some trees, mostly olive trees, some fruit trees and chestnut trees. There is also an area of woodland that surrounds the agricultural area, which belongs to the farm. It is made up of oak, pine and eucalyptus trees. This area can be altered and converted into small projects in the areas of vineyards, olive groves and others, while also serving as a ‘buffer’ or as a privacy wall. The farm has three water mines, mains electricity, lots of tranquillity and privacy, excellent sun exposure, good exterior and interior access (circulation is easy due to the existence of several paths that run through the property and take us from one field to the next, to the riverside area). Most of the property is fenced off. There is a stream within the property, with several waterfalls and several dams along the land, which used to feed a mill that still exists and which flows into the River Arda. Although the property is located in a sparsely populated area, it is only 10 minutes away from the public and private services; – 22 minutes from the centre of Arouca; 28 minutes from the centre of the city of Santa Maria da Feira and 45 minutes from Porto city (50km).
