Rural land - Salgueiro do Campo, Castelo Branco, for sale

Access and setting
Access to the property is straightforward and practical. After leaving the tarmac road, a well-maintained dirt track of approximately 900 metres brings you directly to the entrance, currently suitable for regular passenger vehicles and bigger vans.
From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the sense of privacy and peace that surrounds this beautiful rural setting, in a typical former agricultural landscape.
The land extends over approximately 4,840 square metres and benefits from terraced sections supported by traditional granite stone retaining walls.

The property: a haven for a self-sufficient off-grid lifestyle
One of the highlights of the property is its abundance of productive plants and mature fruit trees. Here you will find apple, orange, plum, loquat, lemon, tangerine, fig and pear trees, alongside grapevines, olive trees and prickly pear cacti. For anyone dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle, the foundations are already in place.
Near the entrance stands the first building, which currently consists of a spacious room with an open fireplace, an annex bathroom with toilet facilities, and secure animal shelters suitable for small livestock. Although this structure is not registered, it already provides useful facilities and offers possibilities for future improvement.
Adjacent to this area is a large concrete water reservoir, originally intended for irrigation. It could continue serving this purpose or potentially be transformed into a refreshing paddling pool to enjoy during the warm Portuguese summers.
As we continue through the property, we arrive at one of its most valuable features: a magnificent traditional stone well. This impressive well retains water throughout the year and still features its original bucket wheel system.
Further down, there is an additional irrigation tank as well as another well, providing further water resources for cultivation and gardening.
The terraced layout creates several distinct areas across the property, making it well suited for a variety of uses, whether gardening, keeping animals, recreational areas, or future development projects. You will also have excellent solar exposure to set up solar panels.
Continuing towards the lower section of the land, which benefits from its own gated access, we find the second agricultural support building. Registered as a rural construction with approximately 50 square metres, this building presents excellent potential for renovation and adaptation to suit your needs.
Nearby is a fenced cultivation area with fertile soil that is currently being farmed. This productive corner of the property benefits from yet another independent water source, creating ideal conditions for growing vegetables, fruit, and other crops throughout the year.
