Property Ref 198 Cafe Velho €Offers
Perched on a wooded hillside, with terraced land to the rear Cafe Velho is an impressive,
traditional stone building that was once the centre of a thriving village community. Although
other similar buildings are nearby and the lovely little Ribeiro Bras runs along the other side of
the meandering country lane, this property is in a beautiful location and has plenty of scope to
create a fabulous family holiday home. It is situated close to the market town of Cabacos
(less than five minutes' drive) and is only a short distance from the county town of Ferreira do
Zezere (12 km) and the stunning Rio Zezere itself (less than 5km). Cafe Velho thus benefits
from both tranquility and close proximity to everyday amenities.
The two-storey property is built on a grand scale (approx.200 sq m) and is structurally sound,
but requires complete internal renovation. It has a central stone stairway to the upper floor,
which features a big balcony at one side. Included in the sale is the small cottage alongside
that was home for those who worked in the old cafe, and land to the rear (approx. 5,000 sq m,
arranged on four terraces, separated by traditional stone walls). Mains water and electricity
supplies are on the lane.
