Casa Miradouro da Encosta - Land with detached stone house for renovation at the foothills of Monsanto
Discover a rare chance to restore and re-imagine an authentic Portuguese stone house, offering picturesque views and historic settings. This is an invitation to revive the ruin of a detached stone house, surrounded by 2800m2 of own land, in an outstanding location at the foothills of the historic village of Monsanto, known as Portugal’s “most Portuguese village”.
Property
The property is located at the edge of Relva village, which offers amenities for daily needs, cafés and restaurants, and a bustling monthly market at the village square.
You enter the land by one of the typical winding paths of the village and find yourself set within a landscape of rolling hills, ancient granite formations, cork oaks, and breathtaking natural beauty.
The former habitational house in the centre of the land retains the character and authenticity of traditional Portuguese architecture. Its solid stone walls provide a solid foundation for restoration, allowing a new owner to blend historic charm with modern comfort. It is registered on an urban article for habitation with 77m2.
Whether envisioned as a private residence, holiday home, artist's retreat, or tourism project, the property presents significant potential to create a truly distinctive home.
Surroundings
A short walk leads you up to Monsanto, where you will find beautiful viewpoints and a romantic setting, strolling through the winding alleys and cobbled streets. Walk past medieval stone houses between massive granite boulders, and explore the historic ruins of the 12th-century Monsanto Castle, an impressive fortress at the highest point above the village. Monsanto invites you to enjoy classic architecture and regional cuisine in the taverns, crafts, and festivities tethered to local legends.
Hiking or cycling, navigate the local rocky landscapes and ancient boulder formations along the marked paths, offering breath-taking views over the Beira Baixa region and Spain.
Only 10 km away you will find Penha Garcia river beach, an incredibly beautiful natural pool with waterfall and fresh clear water.
In this area, rich in history, nature, and enduring charm, let the ancient stones inspire new beginnings and your dream take shape. If you see yourself reviving this piece of local heritage, contact us today to schedule your visit!
