Property Ref 161 Lagar do Pereiro €53,500
A real piece of Central Portugal's history Lagar do Pereiro was once the site of olive oil production
for the surrounding region. This imposing collection of buildings stand on a sizeable plot of land atop
a sunny hillside, with stunning views across beautiful green valleys as far as the eye can see.
Situated near the village of Portela de Vila, some 10 minutes' drive from the ancient historical city of
Tomar,with sympathetic restoration Lagar do Pereiro would make a wonderful family holiday
home.
The lagar itself is a very large, traditional stone building (14m x 14m) at present divided into four
distinct areas (the main production room, a tool-shop, a storeroom, and another workshop that
extends the full length of the building at the rear). The production room has easily enough headroom
to create two floors of living accommodation, and the roof is supported by enormous, solid wooden
beams. A double-door entrance into this room would certainly facilitate renovation, as it opens
directly onto the access lane. Adjoining the lagar is a small two-storey stone-built house (64 sq m),
used by the owner for living space and an office when production was in full flow. The property
also includes a substantial piece of land with an olive grove (no surprises there!), an old vineyard, a
well and a large natural pool.
