Refugio do Rio is a idyllic little valley by a reservoir, enjoying a stunning secluded location surrounded by nature and just a short distance from the Cabril Reservoir (Barragem do Cabril).
Featuring a registered natural stone building and within walking distance of one of Portugal’s largest reservoirs, this property offers outstanding potential for a wide range of development opportunities.
The natural stone ruin is officially registered as a residential building and may therefore be rebuilt and used as such. The registered footprint is 117 m² over two storeys, although the existing structure has a somewhat smaller footprint.
The property is arranged over several gently terraced levels that descend the hillside towards the stream. The stream flows all year round and joins the reservoir just below the property’s boundary.
The Cabril Reservoir (Barragem do Cabril) is renowned for its rich flora and fauna, abundant fish stocks, and diverse wildlife. It offers a wide range of leisure and water sports activities for all ages.
The valley is difficult to access from the outside, making the lakeshore exceptionally secluded, peaceful, and completely private. A true natural paradise!
