Description
Lakeside Property Fully Self-Sufficient, with Two Houses, Established Orchard and Exceptional Tourism Potential
Imagine waking every morning to the sound of birdsong, savoring your coffee while contemplating the tranquil waters of Cabril Dam, knowing that your home produces its own energy, captures its own water and offers complete independence without sacrificing comfort.
Situated on the outskirts of a quiet village, just 500 meters from the beautiful waters of Cabril Dam and a few minutes from the historic town of Pedrógão Grande, this self-sufficient property combines a modern and sustainable lifestyle with the beauty and tranquility of the Portuguese countryside. The perimeter wall is enclosed and provides excellent privacy.
Occupying fertile land with wonderful views over the lake, the property has been carefully designed to create a lifestyle that is both environmentally friendly and remarkably practical. Whether you are looking for a permanent residence, a self-sufficient retreat or a property with excellent tourism potential, this unique small property offers endless possibilities.
The main residence was recently built in 2023, using high-quality ecological construction methods and first-class materials. Designed to provide comfort year-round, it benefits from excellent insulation, tilt and turn windows with double glazing and quality shutters, solar thermal heating, new air conditioning (heating and cooling) and connections prepared for central heating, should it be desired.
Inside, the bright open-plan kitchen and living room create a welcoming space to relax, centered around a high-quality Danish wood-burning stove that efficiently heats the house during the colder months. A comfortable bedroom, a modern bathroom and two sleeping areas on a mezzanine provide surprisingly flexible space in this well-finished home.
A second, larger two-story house offers enormous potential. The ground floor has already been partially renovated and is currently used as a studio and storage space, while the remaining space offers the perfect opportunity to create additional guest accommodation, a family home, a creative workspace or an independent holiday rental. With each floor capable of functioning independently, the possibilities are vast.
One of the property's greatest assets is its complete self-sufficiency. A high-quality photovoltaic system, supported by lithium batteries and two 4,000 W inverters, provides reliable off-grid electricity, with over 14 kWh of storage capacity. Water is supplied by an impressive borehole 150 meters deep, ensuring abundant private water throughout the year.
Outside, the grounds are truly impressive. The land has been carefully cultivated, transformed into a productive organic orchard, filled with an extraordinary variety of already-established fruit trees, including several impressive citrus trees, apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, plum trees, fig trees, cherry trees, persimmons, pomegranates, walnut trees, hazelnut trees, chestnut trees and mature vines producing both wine grapes and table grapes. Approximately 40 olive trees are scattered across the landscape, while an underground irrigation network and water reservoir make land care simple and efficient.
The lower part of the property enjoys particularly beautiful views over the lake and offers a tranquil woodland environment with several private areas, ideal for camping or parking motorhomes. Electricity and water connections have already been prepared, creating enticing opportunities for tourism or guest accommodation, subject to necessary permissions.
Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a newly-built covered garage offering covered parking for three vehicles, several access points with gates, attractive stone walls and a traditional stone annex, currently used for storing firewood.
Despite its wonderfully tranquil setting, the property remains conveniently located. The shores of Cabril Dam are within a short walk, where you can enjoy a swim, while Pedrógão Grande, with its supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, health center, schools, weekly market and everyday amenities, is less than five minutes away.
Coimbra is approximately 45 minutes away, the Atlantic coast approximately one hour away, and Lisbon and Porto airports approximately two hours away.
Properties offering this level of sustainability, privacy, natural beauty and future potential are exceptionally rare. Whether your dream is to embrace an independent lifestyle, create a boutique tourism business or simply enjoy a peaceful home surrounded by nature, this unique property is ready to make that vision a reality.
