Description
1.7ha RIVERFRONT PARADISE Just a stone’s throw from the magical Serra de Gardunha and the picturesque village of Castelo Novo, this lush green oasis offers peace, privacy, and natural beauty. Nestled between granite boulders and tall pine trees, the property enjoys abundant shade and a serene riverside location, featuring no less than 25 waterfalls along stunning hiking trails. Thirty years ago, the current owner lovingly restored the original watermill and stable into a comfortable residence and guesthouse, both with legal habitation permits. Main house (196m²): open-plan living with kitchen, spacious riverside sunroom, master bedroom with fireplace, additional room for storage or bunk beds, bathroom with bathtub, WC, and hidden laundry. Guesthouse (97m²): includes a versatile front room (formerly used for winemaking), 2 bedrooms, bathroom with shower and toilet. Between the buildings, you’ll find large terraces on two levels—ideal for entertaining 50–100 guests. All furniture, kitchenware, and household items are included. Move-in ready. There’s a traditional wood oven at the entrance and a charming fountain on the terrace—perfect for cooling off in the summer. The land features multiple natural springs, a seasonal pond, artisanal well with drinking water, full irrigation, lighting with 50 charming lanterns, and even a hand-built chapel, once used for ceremonies—great for retreats or group events. Enjoy a delightful orchard of citrus, olives, and grapevines, a large chicken and duck coop, and plenty of space for a self-sufficient garden or extra cabins. This property offers endless possibilities! Interested? Feel free to send a private message. We’d love to tell you more. Or Contact us today to schedule a visit! I speak English, Spanish, Dutch and understand Portuguese, German and French. I share my commission (50%-50%) with all agencies. I am fully available by phone or email to provide further details or schedule a face-to-face or online visit. As an independent consultant at IAD, I offer a flexible and personalized service, ensuring professionalism, transparency and a stress-free experience. #ref: 140249

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Portugal will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £26,821 more.
