Maison 2 Chambres à Reriz e Gafanhão
Reriz e Gafanhão, Castro Daire, Viseu
Two individual houses with a total area of 550 square meters (5,920 square feet) overlooking one of the cleanest rivers in Europe, the Paiva river, with excellent fishing for trout and barbel. The houses have been recently renovated to a high standard and together offer the perfect family home with separate guest accommodation and/or the opportunity for commercial use such as rental or a luxury B&B. Licenses exist for these options.
Except for the antique chestnut main front doors, all exterior windows and doors are framed in maintenance free satin aluminum. All the woodwork inside is in chestnut (from the property itself), and the handcrafted tiled floors and slate roofs are among the charming details of both houses.
The 24.000 square meter plot of land with a 200 meter river frontage comprises a large terraced garden with orchards leading down to a riverside paddock and below, on the river, a private and secure natural swimming pool with a stone terrace.
The grounds are extensive with plantations of mature fruit trees and vines, and shaded by camellias, French oak, chestnut, eucalyptus and cork oak, ensuring plentiful firewood for generations to come. In the garden there are wonderful water features, built to channel the water, and the sound of the water, to all levels of the property.
There is a beautiful salt-filtered swimming pool with a large terrace for sunbeds, which sits between the two houses, surrounded by terraces, one of which has a pagoda for shaded alfresco dining.
The local schist stone was used in the construction of the houses and all the retaining walls. The long driveway is paved with typical cobblestones. In the grounds are a machine room for the pool filtration system and garden tools, and a small wine-making shed with its own grape pressing vat. In the lower paddock, there are sheds specially built for the animals, including a stable, tack room, feed store and chicken coop.
Abundant, sweet, soft water is supplied to to the houses and gardens by two strong natural springs. Hot water and central heating are provided by an ecological thermodynamic system. Both houses have stone fireplaces in the living rooms, as well as central heating throughout. Modern double glazing and insulation ensure low-cost comfort in winter and summer. The property has ADSL Wi-Fi and satellite TV.
