This villa for sale in Sernancelhe, in Portugal's Viseu district, has four bedrooms and 318 m² of living space on a 5,144 m² plot. That is generous room for a family, for friends who visit for weeks at a time, or for anyone who wants a garden project that is more than a few flowerbeds.
The house is in Vila da Ponte, a parish of the municipality of Sernancelhe in Beira Alta, the inland north of Portugal. Think granite villages, chestnut woods and river valleys rather than beach resorts. It is a calm corner of the country, and much of the foreign buying interest in Portugal real estate still goes to the coast. Here your money buys space.
### The Villa: 318 m² and Four Bedrooms
With 318 m² of living area, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, this house works for a larger household without anyone queueing for the shower. Two couples can stay at the same time and each still has some privacy. The condition is listed as good, so the realistic plan is to move in first and adapt the house over time, not budget for a full rebuild.
The source details on the interior are limited, so ask for the floor plans and book a viewing to see how the rooms are arranged. As with any purchase abroad, an independent survey is money well spent.
### The 5,144 m² Plot
Over half a hectare is a lot of ground. You could plant fruit trees, lay out vegetable beds, keep the grass wild or simply enjoy the distance to the neighbours. Rural land in Portugal is classified in different ways, so before planning any extension, outbuilding or pool, check the land registry entry and ask the Câmara Municipal of Sernancelhe what is permitted on this plot. Your lawyer can do this in a few days.
