Charming farmhouse at Santa Maria de Sardoura, Castelo de Paiva

In Greire's place, we found this charming little farm with a house on the riverfront. With a unique distribution through stairs making up half-floors extending over 280m2. With 4 suites on the upper floor and a common area on the lower floor, it is harmoniously inserted into 3,450 m2 of land, segmented into 2 articles, located on a slope leading to the river. The windrows of land have a very pleasant width, which allows them to be developed in the most appropriate way for the use for which you wish to direct this property. For ideas, accommodation tourism with bungalows or glamping, catering or events, among others. It also has 2 old stone mills measuring 25m2 which can also be rehabilitated, bringing even more specificity to this beautiful property. The house, made of granite stone, dates back to 1949 and was subject to intervention in 2023. The stones were rejoined, it has a new roof with gutters to carry rainwater, and the installation of pipes for the passage of electrical and hot and cold water cabling. The frames are made of brown lacquered aluminum, with double glazing and solar filter. Some windows have a tilt-and-turn function and one of the suites has an independent entrance, accessed by external stairs. Water supply will be through the public network. As the area does not have a sewage system, it has a reception tank, with a septic tank. The tour of the property takes place along the public path that crosses it, leading to the bridge that exists over the river, allowing you to easily enjoy the fluidity of the water and the rejuvenating sound of the small natural prey found there. Imagine yourself as the owner of a corner full of light, surrounded by the tranquility so typical of the nature that surrounds the Sardoura River, making this property your home, your holiday retreat or your tourist investment. History According to some historians, the toponym Sardoura is of Arabic origin and means going around, an idea taken from the countless turns that the stream takes in the valleys and hills of this parish. The inquiries from 1258 refer largely to the lands of Sardoura, highlighting that the Main Church was, at the beginning of the 16th century, owned by the Count of Marialva, D. Francisco Coutinho. It was elevated to town by Law No. 78/2003 on July 1, 2003. One of the 6 parishes in the municipality of Castelo de Paiva, this parish is located on the left bank of the Douro, and the village of Santa Maria de Sardoura is approximately 4 km from the municipal headquarters and between the towns of Entre-os-Rios and Sobrado. Geography The settlement of this land is very remote, judging by the existence of two mountains, S. Gens and S. Paúl, whose topography makes them eminently suitable for the Castro defense, as they are almost a kilometer away from each other. From the top of these elevations you can enjoy a magnificent landscape over the Sardoura Valley and the Douro River.
