A Serene Farmstead for Restoration in Fermil, Vouzela
This farmstead, spanning 8,486 m², offers absolute tranquility amid stunning natural beauty.
The property includes a stone ruin with a footprint of 77 m² and a total construction area of 155 m², ready for restoration to its original layout. However, to further unlock the property’s potential, a new architectural project, seeks to expand and modernize the home to contemporary comfort standards, and to emphasize indoor-outdoor living with a terrace overlooking breathtaking views, and large windows framing the surrounding nature.
Locally sourced yellow granite stones are preserved on-site for reconstruction, ensuring a harmonious blend with the landscape and preservation of the farmstead’s original character.
The terraced land slopes gently toward the river, featuring broad, flat terraces dotted with vineyards and fruit trees (plum, peach, apple, pear, fig, chestnut, walnut, and olive), as well as oak and other native species.
While serene and secluded, this property is conveniently accessible, with 100 meters of frontage along a paved road and a 15-minute drive to the thermal baths of São Pedro do Sul and Vouzela. It is also within 30 minutes of Viseu, the Campia Botanical Reserve, the São Macário mountains, or the shale village of Aldeia da Pena.
For hiking enthusiasts, Vouzela offers nine scenic trails, including the PR7 - Percurso das Poldras, located just minutes from the property. This 11.3 km circular route takes about 3.5 hours to complete. Along the path, hikers can explore traditional mills, ancient stepping-stone bridges, Roman trails, and the charming architecture of Vouzela. For more details, please visit Vouzela's official page.
With electricity at its entrance and a water borehole on-site, this farmstead is a true haven for those seeking a paradise close to everything, offering an authentic lifestyle in harmony with nature.
