Quinta do Vale da Arruda
Built in 1947 this Large 6 bedroom Granite Farmhouse is set
in 314500m2 of beautiful countryside with stunning views of Serra da Estrela
which has a popular Ski Resort.
The impressive Entrance Gates open to a tree lined Private Driveway
which take you down to the secluded Farmhouse.
The Farmhouse was built in 1947 for 2 Sisters. The 1st floor
is divided into two, each half a mirror image of the other, which gave the
sisters independent living. A corridor runs the full length with an impressive
dividing door between the two halves.
The large roof space is ideal for conversion and is accessed
by two sets of stairs. There are 10 good sized rooms to give bedrooms or
living/dining-rooms. Each half has a large kitchen at either end. There is a
large family bathroom at the West end of the building.
The ground floor was originally used to house the animals
but has been tiled and now is a large area and a blank canvas.
The many outbuildings include the old Farmhouse, outside WC, a large Sheep Shed, ruins, a
Dovecote and a Bread Oven. There is a separate shed for electricity connection.

facility.

restoration.
