Casa Água d´Alta, tracing its origins back to the 1700s, is for sale as a renovation project.

Nestled in a serene valley just 1.5 km from the charming town of Figueiró dos Vinhos in Portugal’s central region, the house is reached by a winding road cutting through an enchanting forest. Casa Água d´Alta has 1,557 m2 of attached land and is a truly romantic farmhouse that offers rural tranquility. A blend of history in its natural setting, Casa Água d´Alta once was a home to a large family and now stands as a testament to Portugal’s rich rural history.

This rural gem offers an incredible opportunity for the next owner to create an exceptional home. We have partnered with the highly skilled team at Concepto Studio to offer buyers exclusive bespoke design options to meet their personal requirements.

The property already has been professionally repointed with lime plaster and sits as one of six homes in the secluded hamlet of Água d´Alta where a stream runs through the valley all year round. It is quite something to own a property where the regular sounds include birdsong and the pleasant gurgling of the stream.

The stone-built farmhouse benefits from a new roof, the gable end has been reinforced with an internal pillar and the all is ready for the next owner to design and finish the internal spaces to their own tastes. There is both mains electricity and water at the property. The building area is 266m2 with 233m2 of internal space.

The nearby town of Figueiró dos Vinhos offers all that is expected of a vibrant market town: dining options, 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.

The town is situated on a land plateau around 450 metres above sea level, affording spectacular views of forestry and surrounding countryside particularly when driving south. Close by is the popular destination of 'Fragas de São Simão', a river area popular with tourists and locals alike, due to its outstanding natural beauty with its rocky outcrops, walking trails and a river beach.

The farmhouse is only a 40-minute drive from both the prestigious University city of Coimbra to the north, and the heritage town of Tomar to the south. It is equidistant to Lisbon and Porto, both around two hours´ away by car.

Imagine customising your ideal layout for leisure and work, handpicking the perfect kitchen design and equipment, and designing exquisite dining and leisure areas tailored to your lifestyle. The opportunity to create a home that truly accommodates your lifestyle is empowering in itself. This gem, so close to town but nestled in natural surroundings, is a rare and authentic building that awaits a sympathetic and inspired remodelling.
