Exclusive Rural Tourism Estate with 15 Bedrooms & Zêzere River Access — Covilhã, Castelo Branco

About this Listing

This property was selected and recommended by Porameta for its valuable investors. This exceptional rural estate in Boidobra, Covilhã, offers a rare combination of substantial land, extensive built space, multiple accommodation possibilities, and direct access to the Zêzere River. Set on approximately 33,520 m² of land, the property comprises two houses with approximately 824 m² of gross built area, creating significant potential for conversion into a rural hotel, boutique countryside accommodation, guesthouse, wellness retreat, nature tourism project, or other hospitality concept. The property currently provides 15 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms across three floors, with multiple living areas, kitchens, balconies, a library, and traditional agricultural features. The main house, built before 1951, includes a traditional wine cellar and grape-pressing area, a large kitchen, library, bedrooms, and additional kitchens. Its configuration offers considerable flexibility for creating independent guest accommodation areas or reorganizing the existing spaces around a hospitality concept. The second house offers more modern comfort and includes PVC double-glazed windows, central heating across all floors, solar panels for water heating, excellent natural light, and panoramic 360-degree views. These features provide a stronger foundation for guest accommodation and reduce the amount of infrastructure work required compared with a completely undeveloped rural property. One of the estate's strongest differentiators is its direct access to the Zêzere River. Combined with the property's extensive landholding and countryside and mountain views, this creates a compelling setting for experiential tourism. Potential concepts include rural accommodation, hiking and nature experiences, fishing, horse riding, wellness retreats, glamping or tiny-house accommodation, and other nature-based tourism activities, subject to planning and licensing approval. The scale of the land also provides opportunities to develop a larger rural hospitality concept. With more than three hectares of land and an existing substantial building footprint, an investor could potentially create a boutique rural hotel or multi-unit countryside accommodation project while retaining significant outdoor space for recreational or tourism activities. The property is located in Boidobra, Covilhã, approximately 25.5 km from Serra da Estrela, around a 33-minute drive according to the listing. Its proximity to the Serra da Estrela mountain tourism market, combined with the riverfront rural setting, gives the property two complementary tourism attractions: mountain experiences and riverside nature tourism. The listing also states that the second house is in the final stage of legalization, while the older house is exempt from a habitation license due to its pre-1951 construction. These legal and licensing matters should be carefully verified before acquisition, particularly if the investor intends to convert or expand the property for commercial tourism use.
