Quinta da Barcoila sits on the edge of a small hamlet and is the last of just four properties, offering an exceptional location of total peace, privacy, and sunshine throughout the day.
Recently renovated, the main house combines traditional charm with modern comfort. The property is perfectly suited for self-sufficient living, featuring a wide variety of fruit trees, several outbuildings with great development potential and its own private water source.
The main house, a natural stone building dating from 1937, has been thoroughly renovated over the past year to match Central European standards. It is a single-storey property with a basement and a total floor area of 140 m².
During the renovation, the house was designed to allow for a flexible layout — it can easily be divided into two separate living units. Both areas have their own entrance and are each planned to include bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room.
The renovation works carried out include:
– New reinforced concrete ring beam
– New roof with modern insulation
– Exposed wooden roof structure
– New heating system, serving the entire house or separable for two apartments
– Completely new electrical installation to German standard, with two sub-distribution panels
– Pre-installation for air-conditioning (wiring in place)
– Pre-installation for two wood stoves with flue connections (one for each unit)
– High-capacity electricity connection
– High ceilings
– New interior and exterior paintwork
The interior finishing has not yet been completed, allowing the new owner to finish it easily and according to personal taste. The remaining work mainly includes bathroom fittings, interior doors, flooring, and kitchens. During renovation, special attention was given to providing ample natural light while maintaining moderate window space to prevent the house from overheating in summer.
On the opposite side of the house there are several outbuildings that can be used and redesigned in many ways. Currently serving as storage spaces, they can be converted into workshops, garages, offices, or—subject to local authority approval—guest accommodations.
There are three separate urban parcels, which ensures full legal status of the buildings and offers flexibility for future development or use.
In the lower part of the property, there is another detached natural stone building in good condition, which was used for wine production for many years. This building also offers a variety of potential uses.
The land is terraced and gently slopes southwards. It has been cultivated for many years and is very fertile. A large variety of productive fruit trees are already established, including avocados, different citrus species (oranges, mandarins, lemons), loquats (nesperas), kiwis, apples, cherries, persimmons, and more.
There are also numerous herbs, ornamental trees, and shrubs. A true dream property for anyone seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle!
