Are you looking for a house in the interior of Portugal, in a village that is part of the schist villages route of the Serra do Açor? This is an excellent opportunity to develop your quality life project, or simply your destination for holidays and weekends in an edifice area, such as Sobral de São Miguel, in the municipality of Covilhã! A robustly built house, in excellent structural condition, pure schist, with undamaged and aligned walls, which allows for a refined renovation inside to suit your needs. With an excellent location in the village, integrated into an older cluster of houses mostly made of exposed and restored schist, it is just a few meters from the river pool, and on hot days it is a privilege to be a 2-minute walk from an excellent swim.

It is possible to rehabilitate it by creating a two-bedroom house and a studio, interconnected with a roof terrace to be built, to take advantage of the views and the tranquility of nature outdoors. This is a configuration that, if you are interested, I can explain during the in-person visit.

Sobral de São Miguel is known as “The heart of slate”, as it is said to be one of the largest clusters of slate buildings in Portugal. However, the vast majority of the buildings are plastered and painted predominantly white. This village exports slate to the world! It is also known for its gastronomic heritage – where you can try everything from sour cherry to pica de chouriço, sardines or cod, as well as honey and wood-fired bread. Sobral de São Miguel also offers some great walking tours, whether through the village's streets and alleys or along the course of the Ribeira do Porsim. The streets are almost always parallel to the river, and are connected by numerous alleys with steps or by steep alleys that try to get around the houses. These are almost always juxtaposed, leaving no space for backyards. With two or three floors, the height of the buildings creates streets where, even during the day, there is predominant shade, making it a village with a cool atmosphere and suitable for pleasant walks even on h
