Environment ✧ rolling agricultural; walks and (seasonal) river on doorstep; barrage/swimming 10mins drive; hills 30mins; coast 2h
Services ✧ none; larger village/supermarket 10 mins drive; town 30mins drive 45mins bus 3x daily
Access ✧ Coimbra 1h30 bus; Lisbon, 30 mins drive +2h30 train
Notes ✧ no local services (just a primitive bar) thus requires communal shopping or bus
✦ 3 busses daily, town 45mins/15€, Coimbra 1h30/€20 (+change/train for Lisbon)
✦ local village with supermarkets, cafés and 1 notable resto, is close, but quite unreamarkable
✦ a fleet of electric motorbikes would give folks freedom to get to teh village and around independently but is a bit isolated for a base, however that will appeal for some as one can still get to Lisbon and stay overnight for more life
✦ the countryisde is pleasant but not notable and likely a bit monotonous in summer
✦ 1ha of land with olive, cork and scrub oak trees
✦ there is a small garden in front of the building, most the land is over the road
✦ moderate work
✦ bit expensive given already reduced, thus would require more significant pledge commitments to acquire
✦ could get ~20 rooms so cost would be on-par with large
✦ serra da estrella 1h drive
✦ village seems it may have fibre
✦ ~500m2 main building
✦ roof needs rebuilding/raising to gain extra 250m2 (not too bad)
✦ probably extra 350m2 in barn, but needs (many) windows to be put in (appears to be rubble masonry)
✦ some other small buildings that are not clear
✦ is next to the cobbled road but probably not busy and is shielded by bulk of the building
