This lovely property with far reaching views is located in a small village and offers privacy and a peaceful environment while being only five minutes away from the busy market town of Miranda do Corvo. The property has five bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over two levels. The two levels are separate with the upstairs providing three bedroom accommodation that the current owners have successfully rented out as holiday accommodation. The ground floor is very spacious and has a large living and dining area with kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and a large games/hobby room with a bar.
Outside there is a lovely summer kitchen area that is adjacent to the swimming pool all of which takes full advantage of the wonderful views looking out over the countryside and towards Miranda do Corvo.
Worthy of note is that the owners have made the decision to include an additional lot that measures 1300m2 immediately adjoining this property. The additional lot is urban and has lapsed planning permission. This can be utilized in whichever way the new owners see fit, be that renewing the planning permission or incorporating the lot into the garden area.

Ground Floor …........

The door opens into a very large open plan living and dining room area. The wood finishes here are very impressive and were custom designed and made for the room. The living room area has a pellet burning stove that provides sufficient heat for this entire area.
The dining room area is equally large and leads into the kitchen.

There two distinct areas on the ground floor are separated by a custom designed and built double door unit with glass block walls extending to either side ensuring ample light to the entire downstairs area.
There is a games room here that has been fitted with a good sized bar area. This space also provides ample space for a full sized pool table. There are large cupboards here for storage.
The inner hallway leads to two bedrooms the first of which is currently used by the present owners as a dressing room. There are fitted wardrobes and a window to the side
The second bedroom is spacious and has a window to the side.

Outside ….............
To the front is an easily maintained garden that is planted with a variety of low maintenance shrubs and bushes. There is a path that leads to the front terrace that extends along the front of the house. A large driveway leads to the side and an additional gravel driveway to the other side providing parking for several cars.
The terrace to the front is a wrap around terrace that extends to the side and rear where there are steps down to the lower terrace and garden.
There is a very large covered terrace directly adjacent to the rear of the house – this is a lovely area where you can enjoy the fabulous views while sipping on some chilled vinho or enjoying outside dining.
To the side is a large BBQ and eating area that combined with the covered terrace would make a wonderful space for entertaining.
There is a further large patio area to the left and to the right a path that leads to the 8x4 swimming pool that has terraced surrounds for sunbathing. There is electric lighting in this area which makes for a lovely atmosphere when enjoying outside dining and entertainment.
There is a gate with a small set of steps that lead down to the rear area that would make a great place to plant an orchard and to provide an area to grow vegetables.
Included in the price of this property is a second lot that the current owners were selling separately but are now including in the price. This lot measures approximately 1300m2 and has lapsed planning permission. The lot could therefore be sold separately or incorporated into the garden space of this home ensuring total privacy and also ensuring the lot cannot be built on.
Note ….......
The property is such that the upper or lower level can be rented out, as each has own access. This has provided a good level of income for the owners in the past. As there is not an internal staircase between the two levels, a quote to install a set of stairs, if required, would be in the region of 5000€. It would then be possible to make this a large five bedroom single family dwelling, if desired.
