Situated in a small village, this stone ruin has huge potential and, with some vision, would make a great family home. Although the house has lost its roof and floor, it is still possible to see that a fabulous and substantial property could be built from its remains. As it is possible to use the barn as a living space, it offers a generous area. The original house had two floors, with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room. The stone walls appear to be in good condition, although, as mentioned, all the wood on the roof and floor has been lost. This side of the property can be renovated as it was or the living space can be extended to the single storey barn with its vaulted roof. This substantial area lends itself to open plan living and would make an amazing kitchen, dining room and living space. The house and the attached barn are situated in a perfect position in the center of the plot of more than 3000 m2. The land is all fenced and closed. At the back of the property there is a flat area of land currently used for grazing. There are some fruit trees and mature olive trees here and it would be a great area for a vegetable garden and leisure space. An annex at the rear of the property houses the old bread oven and can be transformed into an outdoor kitchen. There is also space for a swimming pool. The front yard could be landscaped with trees, plants and shrubs, which would add to the attractiveness of the property. You could also create an access path to the house and some seating areas underneath the already existing mature trees and maybe even a lawn in the level area in front of the house. In this area of the garden there is a well, so watering will not be a problem. The property is located just a few minutes from Graça, in a small village with only a few houses. Although it is quite rural, it is close enough to the IC8 to be in Pedrogão Grande or Figueiro dos Vinhos in ten minutes, where in both villages you will find all the necessary amenities for everyday life. Coimbra is about 35 minutes away and Lisbon and Porto airports are about 1 hour and 45 minutes away.
