Plot, Sobral de São Miguel, Castelo Branco

Located in Sobral de São Miguel, a charming village in the municipality of Covilhã known as the ‘Heart of the Schist’, this 3 hectare plot is an opportunity for geological investment. In a region acclaimed for its Portuguese mining industry and surrounded by authentic, rustic scenery, it lies at the foot of the Serra do Açor, next to the Ribeira do Porsim and half an hour from the famous Serra da Estrela - whose geopark is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even with its industrial character, it is aimed at those looking for an alternative to the big urban centres - where noise, stress and road traffic prevail. Where the natural mountain surroundings, crystal-clear river beaches and green forests abundant in fauna and flora provide an enviable quality of life. The main access to the land is dirt track. It has agricultural outbuildings that could be rehabilitated and is close to the electricity grid. In addition, it lies in a beautiful valley crossed from one side to the other by a stream, making it ideal for various types of planting. In the 1980s it had a quarry whose main mining activity was the extraction of schist and lousã. To the west is a woodland area and to the north-east, three minutes away, is a fully operational quarry. Finally, it also enjoys the friendliness and welcome of its inhabitants, as well as its proximity to the main services and shops that are essential to daily life.
