Arouca, Faro

Property identification: ZMPT579473 If you are looking for a holiday home in one of the most beautiful, authentic and preserved areas of the interior of Northern Portugal, where the richness of the landscape, the value of heritage and living traditions combine to provide quality of life, tranquility and a privileged contact with nature and local culture, this Rustic Mountain House in Telhe may be the opportunity you are looking for! The property consists of two articles: - A habitable house with 2 floors, with a T1 house on the ground floor, including kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom and balcony, and mill in the basement, in an implantation area of 53m2. - A ruined corral, at the back, which can be remodeled to expand the house or used as an outdoor patio, in an implantation area of 25m2. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The house is habitable, although it needs refurbishment/modernization. Both buildings are exempt from a license for use, since the construction is prior to 1951, so the remodeling does not require licensing, as long as the original structure is maintained. The suggestion presented in the photographs is only an example of a possible remodelling while maintaining the current structure, without the need for licensing. LOCATION: The village of Telhe, located in the parish of Janarde, municipality of Arouca, is part of the heart of the Arouca Geopark, a region recognized for its unique mountain landscape, natural heritage and strong rural identity. This territory is marked by green valleys, agricultural terraces and superb views over the Paiva River, being an area blessed by lush nature and unique biodiversity, which makes it an ideal place for lovers of tranquility and nature tourism. In terms of culture and tourism, Arouca stands out for its rich historical and religious legacy, with the Arouca Monastery being the ex-libris of the region, as well as for the variety of museums, popular festivals, pilgrimages and secular traditions. Among the reasons of interest are the emblematic route of the Paiva Walkways, the contemplation of the ichnofossils of Mourinha - rare paleontological remains -, the practice of outdoor activities, walks along ancestral trails or simply enjoying the slow flow of the seasons in a village preserved in time. Telhe and Janarde keep alive ancestral traditions, such as religious festivities in honour of Saint Barnabé, the confection of regional sweets, knowledge linked to subsistence agriculture, cattle breeding and small family farms. The community conviviality and hospitality of the people contribute to an authentic and genuine experience, much sought after by those who value traditional Portuguese culture. The traditional architecture of the region is one of the greatest charms and distinctive mark. The Telhe houses reflect the typical rustic mountain style, with robust schist stone walls, an abundant resource in the area, which offer robustness and thermal insulation. The slate roofs or shale slabs are another emblematic element, shaped according to the relief and chromatic diversity of the local schist. This construction typology responds in a sustainable way to the demands of the climate and geography, using robust support woodwork, usually pine or chestnut, and small openings for windows and doors, sometimes reinforced with elements of wood or regional granite. The result is homes that integrate harmoniously into the landscape, durable and loaded with authenticity.
