In front of the house, there is a courtyard with a large water tank and an old stable with a porch, while on the side, there is another building that served as a pigsty. Completely walled, the property features sturdy granite walls and has its own water from two mines, as well as a spring located on a nearby hill, Monte Lafão, which provides water year-round to the large tank in the courtyard. It has easy access and several entrances. This property offers a multitude of possibilities, from restoration for personal housing to use as a duplex, local accommodation, or rural tourism.
