2 Farms and Estates in Covilhã, with Storage

Quinta da Abadia - a property in biological regime of 49 hectares, 5 min from Covilhã and the A23, with access to the door. A space where domestic animals coexist with various species of migratory birds and other types of local fauna that, together with the leafy existing trees, form a unique natural habitat in the region. With excellent sun exposure in the morning, it is bordered, the source, by the River Zêzere, and to the North, by the Ribeira do Corge.
The abundance of water is its greatest wealth by the existence of two dams in Ribeira do Corge that feed most of the property through a flood irrigation. It also has a mine with more than 300m that provides drinking water to buildings, a well of 8 m in diameter and with depth at the level of the water table of the River Zêzere, in which are two pumps with electric motors. Inside the property there is also a pond and a medium-sized dam. It is with all these sources of water that you can irrigate extraordinarily fertile alluvial land that has been on permanent grazing for more than 20 years.
The entire space is sealed by barbed wire fences and cement poles, creating the various parks that allow better management of pastures intended for animals.
Completing the richness of the Abbey are the various fruit trees, such as cherry trees, apple trees, pear trees and others that border half an hectare of vineyard.
This extraordinary rural area is enriched by a generous urban plot, composed of a set of 4 buildings registered in the Urban Building Matrix, identified with a covered area of 1,700 m2. The set consists of a villa V7 (main housing) 3 houses of typology T3 (in need of restoration). The remaining buildings are in support of agricultural activity, including stables and warehouses. All buildings are classified with independent urban articles.
