Meda, Guarda

Splendid agricultural land of 14756 sq. yards halfway between Mda and Marialva. At the meeting of the Douro and the Serra da Estrela, in the far north of the Beira Alta region, a surprising property awaits you. In a small valley, sheltered from the wind, a microclimate watches over a fertile and sunny land. Leaving the quiet N324 national road, you take a sharp turn onto a narrow tarmac road. After crossing a small metal bridge, continue left along the road, which becomes a footpath. At the end of the road is the main entrance, which has no gate. If you follow the path further down, a gate gives you a second access to the crops. A gentle slope and a multitude of terraces of different sizes give this area its charm, without compromising access. The bottom of the plot is flanked by a stream. The entrance path leads past the first building to be restored, a small stone barn. To our right, a cork oak wood; to our left, a vegetable garden, some vineyards and a large, robust water reservoir. By gravity, it irrigates all the orchards. We continue to the left towards the bottom of the field and the stream: here the terraces are wider. A small building houses a pump for collecting water from the stream or well. This supplies water to the large reservoir. Heading south, we find vegetable gardens, fig trees, vineyards and various fruit trees; the soil is rich. Crossing the olive grove, on our right, a little further up, a second building basks in the sun. This barn has a garage and a room with a renovated roof. Two large loquat and citrus trees grow opposite. This building has a fireplace and can be locked. Unfurnished, it's good for resting and eating. The roof feeds two rainwater recovery tanks. The installation of solar panels will make the house independent in terms of energy needs. Behind this building, you reach the cork oak wood. If your goal is self-sufficiency, this is the property for you: access to water, fertile land, 1055 square feet of buildings, easy access. It is made up of three plots, the areas of which are in the process of being corrected. This Eden is located 4 kilometres from the town of Mda and 3 miles from the medieval castle and village of Marialva. The starting point for several hiking trails, there is also a small road that leads to the magnificent connection between Mda and the fortified town of Trancoso (15 miles).
