Casa do Cascata

A stunning, converted farmhouse with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a two-storey atrium with fabulous views of the river valley and a 5 metre waterfall directly in front of the house. On schedule for completion May 2010.

Located on the outskirts of the lovely village of Cativelos and just 25 minutes from Viseu and 10 minutes from Gouveia, the property has grounds of approx 13,000 sq m.

We have taken a derelict farmhouse and outbuildings and converted them into a large contemporary home with 320sq m of construction and 280 sq m of living space. The original stone farmhouse has been restored and extended to provide four double bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Downstairs the two bedrooms have modern en-suite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes and there is access to the lower level of the Atrium, the "Reading Room" with views of the waterfall. Upstairs the two bedrooms have a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. The master bedroom has an en-suite bath and shower room and the fourth bedroom has an en-suite shower room.

The main living area comprising the split- level lounge, dining room, kitchen, seperate WC, study and utility room is spread over cascading levels that create an impressive space. All have vaulted ceilings and there are spectacular views to the river valley through the upper level of the Atrium.

The grounds are largely terraced with vines, fruit trees and olive trees. There are extensive patio areas and stone-stepped walkways to the river. Also there are two ruined watermills on the edge of the river which could be converted at a later date, subject to planning permission.
