Eco-friendly House „Casa das Almas“
Pedrogao Grande
A rare opportunity to purchase an ecologically built house in the beautiful and green area of Pedrógao Grande, Central Portugal.
Two existing ruins were used to form the current structure of the house and the extensive renovation work was undertaken in using only sustainable building materials including natural stone and clay. In fact the house is even insulated with cork and expanded clay pellets rather than the usual polystyrene or mineral fiber.
The walls, roof, ceilings, floors, double glazed windows and doors have been produced from wood and natural stone. Only the main pillars are formed out of concrete in order to comply with building regulations and assure maximum strength.
The 362m2, two storey house consists of 5 bedrooms, a big living room, bathroom, utility room, a large kitchen with 2 fireplaces, an adega, storage areas and stables.
It is connected to mains electricity, telephone and municipal water which serves only those utilities that require a specific level of pressure such as the toilet, shower, washing machine and heating boiler. Drinking water and sink water supplies etc are supplied by a borehole which pumps fresh water into an insulated stainless steel deposit ready for use.
The land, approximately 3.350m2, is very fertile and has been used to grow numerous types food crops as the current owner lives self-sufficiently as far as is possible. An outside biological waste tank has been used for fertilizing the land. Many fruit trees including orange, clementine, apple, olive, fig, cherry, damson, plum, hazelnut, lemon and peach all assist in the eco-friendly, sustainable and self-sufficient life style.
The property is located outside the village of Agria, parish and council of Pedrógao Grande, on a seldom used tarmac road about 1KM away from the next café about 7KM away from de IC8.
