About this property
3-Bedroom House With Studio
Some homes stand out for their size, others for their location. And then there are those that stand out for the feeling they convey as soon as you walk in. This is one of those homes.
Set in a small, peaceful mountain community in central Portugal, this charming village house has been carefully renovated and decorated, preserving traditional features such as stone and wood while bringing them together with bohemian-inspired, contemporary décor. The result is a welcoming, authentic home full of character - a place where the simplicity of village life meets the comfort of a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed.
The property currently offers three bedrooms, a cosy living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with natural ventilation, and a practical storage/laundry area. There is also a separate, covered annex, currently used as a studio and living space, with a charming mezzanine above the main area, accessed by a wooden staircase. This additional space could easily be adapted to suit the needs of its future owners: A home office, guest bedroom, workshop, creative space or simply a private area for welcoming family and friends.
Outside, one of the features that contributes most to the property’s charm is the covered terrace. With its traditional wooden pergola and tiled roof, it is designed for outdoor meals and socialising, and enjoys pleasant views over the wooded valley and the landscape of the Serra da Lousã. The private-use garden includes a vegetable patch, orange trees, lemon trees and other fruit trees, offering the genuine connection with nature and the changing seasons that many people seek when they decide to leave the fast pace of city life behind. There is also a barbecue area and an outdoor kitchen, ideal for long summer lunches, peaceful afternoons or evenings spent with family and friends.
Perhaps, however, it is the natural surroundings that best explain what makes this property special. A few minutes away are the iconic Fragas de São Simão and its crystal-clear river beach, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, with walkways, viewpoints and opportunities for walking and outdoor activities. Several other river beaches are also within a 5-to-10-minute drive of the property, many set in beautiful natural surroundings and perfect for swimming, walking or simply enjoying a peaceful day by the water. The region also offers an increasingly appealing selection of renowned restaurants, culinary experiences and leisure venues, creating a particularly attractive combination of nature, good food and quality of life. The proximity of the Schist Villages and the Serra da Lousã adds an important cultural and tourism dimension to this area, which is increasingly sought by people looking for authentic experiences, unspoilt nature and a more relaxed way of life.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the location offers convenient access to essential services and urban centres. The nearby IC8/A13 makes travel easy, with Coimbra around 30 minutes away and practical connections to Lisbon and Porto. Figueiró dos Vinhos has shops, healthcare services, pharmacies, schools and a range of essential facilities, while the parish also has a kindergarten and a primary school. The village itself has a school for young children, a local association and several places for leisure and socialising. This combination of tranquillity, nature and accessibility makes the property appealing not only as a second home or holiday house, but also as a permanent residence or for anyone looking to combine remote work with a better quality of life.
The house also benefits from good internet and mobile network coverage, an increasingly important feature for those looking to live or spend extended periods in inland Portugal without giving up the connectivity needed for work.
With approximately 130 m2 of covered gross area, including the house and annex, and 259 m2 of associated land, the property is well balanced in size, offering outdoor spaces to enjoy without the upkeep of a large estate. It has its own septic tank, an electric water heater and a fireplace in the living room. There is also potential to improve comfort and energy efficiency in the future by installing a fireplace insert and implementing other measures identified in the relevant Energy Performance Certificate.
Another particularly appealing feature is the low property tax burden, with estimated annual imi of less than €100. The property has the documentation required for sale, is free of charges, mortgages and attachments, and has a certificate from the local council confirming that it is exempt from the use permit requirement, as it was built before 1951.
Thanks to its location, features and condition, this property can suit a range of lifestyles. It could be a home where a family finds a more relaxed pace, a weekend retreat for someone living in a city, a second home for anyone looking for a special place in Portugal, or a property with potential for tourist use, subject in all cases to checking and meeting the applicable legal requirements.
It is also a particularly interesting opportunity for international buyers looking for something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in other parts of Portugal: A home with character, ready to enjoy, surrounded by nature, close to the water and to destinations of recognised tourist interest, yet still part of an authentic and peaceful community.
More than just a property, this is an opportunity to acquire a little retreat where life can take on a different pace. Where breakfast can be enjoyed on the terrace, the garden can become part of everyday life, a walk to the river can replace an afternoon indoors, and welcoming family and friends can once again become an important part of life. A home with soul, nature on the doorstep and a wonderful space in which to write a new chapter.
