Description: A Reimagined Stone House in Serra da Estrela
A distinctive opportunity for those looking for a private mountain retreat, second home or rural tourism investment in Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
The architectural project was specifically developed and approved for Rural Tourism, under the Country House category, offering a ready-made concept for anyone wishing to operate the property as a distinctive tourism accommodation. For buyers seeking a private residence instead, the property can also be adapted for personal residential use.
Set in a small village near Gouveia, in the heart of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, this distinctive property combines the character of a traditional granite house with a refined contemporary architectural intervention.
The existing stone walls are preserved and enhanced, while new elements in glass, zinc and Corten steel create a strong architectural contrast between the original building and the new structure.
One of the property’s key advantages is that it is fully detached, something particularly valued in traditional village settings. At the same time, it sits in the heart of the village, offering privacy without the isolation often associated with more remote mountain properties.
The approved project provides 154 sqm of gross construction area over two floors, together with a 72 sqm private courtyard.
The ground floor features a generous 53.40 sqm open-plan living and kitchen area, directly connected to the courtyard at the same level. This creates a natural continuation of the main living space, allowing the interior and exterior areas to function almost as one.
Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms of 18 sqm and 16 sqm, together with a 4.90 sqm bathroom.
The renovation also incorporates contemporary comfort and construction solutions, including Light Steel Framing, thermal insulation, minimalist double-glazed windows, air conditioning, heat pump and a suspended fireplace.
The property lies within the Serra da Estrela region and the UNESCO Estrela Geopark, close to natural landmarks such as Vale do Rossim, Mondeguinho and Cabeça do Velho, in an area known for mountain tourism, regional gastronomy and the nearby Dão wine region.
The property can be acquired in its current condition, together with the approved architectural project, allowing the future owner to manage the construction and personalise selected materials and finishes.
Alternatively, a turnkey solution may also be considered, including the full execution of the renovation under terms to be agreed.
