Beira Litoral, Penacova, Portugal

Straight Forward Renovation Project Featuring Courtyard, Garden & Views

A Distinctive Renovation Opportunity

Location & Setting
Perched on the edge of a charming village, this stone-built property benefits from a peaceful countryside setting while remaining highly accessible to amenities and cultural attractions. The beautiful town of Penacova sits just 9 km away, while the market town of Mortagua is 15 km distant. A lively local village with cafes and a mini mercado is conveniently located just 2 km away.

The UNESCO heritage city of Coimbra is within easy reach at 35 minutes, and Porto International Airport is approximately 1 hour 40 minutes away, making this an ideal base for both weekend retreats and regular commuting.

The Property
This original stone property centers around a generous private courtyard (10.2m × 5.5m), accessed through two large entrance gates. The courtyard features a traditional bread oven, a wine storage area (adega), and an external WC.

Separate from the main residence, a modest outbuilding and mature olive tree grace the land opposite the property, with additional space available for parking and garden development once a wooden structure is cleared.

Ground Floor
A well-proportioned lounge/diner (6m × 5.3m) with potential to open through to the kitchen creates excellent flexibility for entertaining and daily living. The kitchen (3.8m × 2.4m) features a striking original chimney and retains authentic period character. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry/dining area (2.5m × 2.5m).

A recently renovated bathroom (2.5m × 2m) offers modern convenience with shower, WC, handbasin, and double-glazed window, making it ideal as a functional base during renovation works. External steps lead to a terrace spanning approximately 30m² and provide access to the first floor.

First Floor
Three bedrooms offer flexibility for family living or holiday rental potential. A light-filled lounge (3.5m × 3.5m) opens onto a covered terrace overlooking the countryside. The bedrooms measure 3.5m × 2.1m, 3.2m × 2.9m, and 2.9m × 2.6m respectively,

The Opportunity
This straightforward renovation project presents an excellent canvas for creating your dream home. The existing renovated bathroom and prepared courtyard provide immediate liveable amenities during renovation phases.

The combination of established village location, authentic stone architecture, generous living spaces, and additional land make this a compelling proposition for those seeking to create something truly distinctive in rural Portugal. Two neighbouring properties currently undergoing renovation demonstrate active investor confidence in the area.
