  Beschreibung

  Hi. I am Alex and originally from the United Kingdom. About 18 months ago I fell for a property in Central Portugal, a few kilometers from Pedrogao Grande. It had been uninhabited for over a decade, consisting of two houses (four bedrooms and one bedroom), some outbuildings and about an acre of land. It's very peaceful but also close enough to pretty towns, villages and cities (Coimbra 40 mins, Pombal 35 mins). The views are spectacular, being at the highest part of the village, and its a 20 minutes walk to the lake above the Cabril Dam.
  
  And so the project began, after 12+ months hard work I have moved into the smaller house, and started renovating the outbuildings, the larger house is as yet untouched although, very typically portuguese, I lived there for 6 months as we worked on my current home. Its an ideal base for workawayers!

  Was noch ...

  Its a pretty quiet life in the village. We are close to many river beaches, walking in the area is popular. Take advantage of the huge artificial lake of the Cabril dam and the Zêzere River to go canoeing, fishing, among other sports activities. Slightly further afield are historical Serta, Pombal and Coimbra. If arriving from Lisbon or Porto by train I can collect you from Pombal or Coimbra.
