MAIN HOUSE - The main house has two entrances. The front entrance is gated and includes a garage that opens onto the N17 road. The back entrance provides easy access to both outbuildings and is a short walk to the main house. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with its own window, and a cozy open-plan living room/kitchen area. The kitchen has been recently upgraded. Near the back entrance, you will find a bathroom with a shower. Downstairs features an entertainment area with a kitchenette and a large storage room, which could easily be converted into an additional living space.
ANNEX 1 - Leaving the house, it is a quick walk to the larger outbuilding. This is a perfect space for extended family or guests, or for a private office. Upon entering, you come through the kitchen, which leads into a quaint dining area. This annex includes one large bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, and a cozy living area with a functional fireplace. The building has electricity and water, making it ideal for additional accommodations. In front, there is parking and an entrance to the property from the shared driveway. Please note that this annex is currently registered as a storage area and would require a habitation license. To convert it into a guest house, a project would need to be approved by the town council.
ANNEX 2 - The smaller annex, located behind the larger outbuilding, consists of two spacious rooms perfect for storage. It also has electricity and water, with one room already equipped with a laundry hook-up, adding practicality and versatility to the property.
RUIN - The ruin, although currently not functional, provides an opportunity for a creative renovation project. It consists of a few brick walls and offers plenty of potential for expansion or a charming restoration. The two outbuildings and ruin can be legalized, and the investment will be reflected in the sale price in the future.
PROPERTY - The property is gently sloped and features numerous mature trees, including fruit trees such as olive, orange, lemon, fig, and grape. From the N17 road, the front entrance leads along a cement pathway to the one-car garage, while the back entrance is accessible via a shared driveway that leads directly to the largest outbuilding. A small pergola and another seating area in the backyard offer wonderful spots to relax. The property is fully fenced in, and there is a third entrance at the very back of the property. Location - Vila Nova de Poiares is a family-friendly town known for its safe environment and welcoming Portuguese community, with many expats already residing in the area. The town hosts regular markets on Mondays and Saturdays, along with other community celebrations. Just 35 minutes from Coimbra, 1.5 hours from Porto, and 2.5 hours from Lisbon, it is ideally located. You’re also only 50 minutes from the ocean, 15 minutes from a beautiful river beach, and 5 minutes from a large public multi-swimming pool park for summer relaxation.
