Casa Água de Alta is a luxury farmhouse in Central Portugal awaiting a buyer's renovation instructions to stamp their mark on it. This early C18th rural gem offers an incredible opportunity to create an exceptional home within its recently repointed stone walls. Nestled in a serene valley just 1.5 kilometers from the centre of the charming town of Figueiró dos Vinhos in Portugal’s Central Region, Casa Água de Alta is a truly romantic property that promises a tranquil escape.

A blend of history and modern comfort, Casa Água de Alta once was a home to a large family and now stands as a testament to Portugal’s rich rural history, poised for its renaissance with the touch of modern elegance. The base price of €325.000 covers a full renovation with any extra requirements agreed in advance.

The farmhouse is in a small hamlet of five properties at the head of this quiet valley. There is no passing traffic as the road turns into a track near the small river. Seldom have we seen such an attractive building, it was well worth saving it from the ravages of time. Rural Properties looks forward to working with a buyer to create something really special.

The farmhouse is only a 40-minute drive from the prestigious University city of Coimbra, and equidistant to Lisbon and Porto. The nearby town of  Figueiró dos Vinhos offers all that a vibrant market town would be expected to have: comprehensive dining, shopping, leisure, educational and health facilities. It was the home of acclaimed C19th naturalist painter José Malhoa whose majestic house still stands in the town.

Close by is the popular destination of 'Fragas de São Simão', an area of outstanding natural beauty with its rocky outcrops, walking trails and a river beach. Figueiró dos Vinhos is built on a land plateau around 450 metres above sea level, affording spectacular views of forestry and surrounding countryside particularly when driving south out of the town.
