Located in the beautiful mountainous region of Serra de Estrella, the tiny village of Fontao „fountain“ is nestled in an unspoiled valley with mountain spring water running through the heart of it. Used by most villagers as a summer residence, this tranquil idyl is one of the few remaining drystone villages, left in Portugal and has been short-listed as one of its „hidden treasures“. The bigger village of Loriga just 8kms away, renowned for its fresh water swimming, provides all available commodities, and 25 kms away is Seia, the biggest town in the region. The 71m2 property comprises of: 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Attic storage space, a further room and a generous sized cellar can be accessed from the terrace in front of the property. There is a fireplace with an efficient insert in the kitchen. The paved terrace, with planting area and troughs for growing, covers the length of the house, from which a staircase leads down to a little stream that runs in front of the property and down to the main stream in the villagecenter. A 270m2 piece of land visible from the house, and a 2 minute walk away provides the ideal space for an adequate fruit and vegetable garden to live self-sufficiently.
