Serious offers will be considered. Step into a world where time seems to slow down, and nature and history intertwine seamlessly in this fairytale village for sale in Portugal. Nestled in the heart of the Serra da Gardunha, this 12-building estate spans 15.25 hectares (37.68 acres) and includes 1,902 m² (20,473 sq ft) of registered housing, offering an extraordinary opportunity to own a historic village on lush, undisturbed land. This is a generational property—a place where memories are made, families grow, and the land thrives for generations to come. As you approach the property, the gentle sound of the year-round river flowing through the land welcomes you. The river, a constant presence, winds its way through the estate, enhancing the serene beauty that surrounds you. Nearby, four abandoned watermills, or azenhas, stand as testaments to the past. Once used to grind grain, these mills now offer the rare opportunity to be repurposed for generating electricity, tapping directly into the natural power of the river—a resource that has been harnessed here for centuries. The heart of the property is the main house, a spacious five-bedroom passive solar home that perfectly blends contemporary design with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, while the ground floor features three additional bedrooms organized into two well-appointed apartments—each with their own kitchen and living space. This flexible design allows the house to function either as a single large residence or as private apartments, providing options for extended family living or income generation. The spacious veranda offers sweeping views over the valley, allowing you to connect with the landscape in a way that few properties can offer. Beyond the main house, the land unfolds like a story waiting to be told. Fruit trees such as olive, fig, and persimmon, along with a variety of aromatic herbs, line the pathways. Their rich scents fill the air, blending with the sounds of the secret waterfalls that cascade through the property, creating an atmosphere of peace and inspiration. The Praia Fluvial, just 50 meters from the property, beckons in the summer months, where the river beach comes alive with live music, local food, and a vibrant community atmosphere. Yet, here on the estate, you are granted a front-row seat to this lively space while maintaining your sanctuary of solitude. In the distance, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Gardunha can be seen from various spots on the property, its presence a gentle reminder of the deep history that runs through this land. Nearby, the historic village of Castelo Novo invites exploration with its ancient Roman ruins and medieval castle—just a short drive or hike away. Although the property feels like a world unto itself, modern conveniences are never far. Just 10 minutes from the estate, you’ll find five major grocery store chains in the city of Fundão, which is home to over 10,000 residents. Fundão’s train station, located just minutes away, offers a direct route to Lisbon and convenient connections to the rest of Europe, making it easy to explore everything this region—and beyond—has to offer. Covilhã, a dynamic city of 40,000 with a college-town feel, is also nearby and is developing state-of-the-art private hospitals, with one already operational, ensuring easy access to healthcare. And for those who seek more, Castelo Branco, the largest city in the region, is just a 35-minute drive away. Despite its size and infrastructure, the property benefits from extremely low annual taxes. With modern amenities like fiber optic internet, three-phase electricity, and a 100-meter-deep borehole, the property balances comfort and rural charm. The south-facing buildings offer incredible potential for solar energy, and with the river’s natural power, the estate offers a rare opportunity for full sustainable living in a self-sufficient village. To fully enjoy the vast estate, the property includes a Lamborghini tractor with only 280 hours of use, offering reliable handling for agricultural maintenance. Additionally, a Segway utility Buggy is included, perfect for leisurely exploration of the land and daily estate management. This estate is more than just a property—it’s a chance to step into a lifestyle deeply rooted in history, surrounded by nature, and built for a sustainable future. Whether you envision it as a luxury or tourism retreat, an eco-resort, or a multi-family haven, this rare opportunity awaits you to create your own story amidst the timeless beauty of Portugal’s countryside.
