A lot of people of all ages and backgrounds are moving to the region. They come from all over the world but mostly from The Netherlands, Belgium and Britain. With social distancing there has never been a better time to have a safe haven in a warm region with abundant water.
Between Porto and Lisbon.
Between magnificent beaches and mountains.
Between the snowy Serra da Estrela, the picturesque Serra do Açor and the granite high planes of Beira Alta.

This is an ideal destination if you want to escape to a place where you'll have time for yourself, your family, friends and community.
All the traditional rural enchantment but also hubs where people from all over the world meet.
If you're looking for another type of property in the borough I may be able to help with absolutely no pressure.

THE PROPERTY
Land has 9980m2 along some terraces not very steep and a larger flat area by the stream.
The all year abundant drinking water from the public spring can be legally diverted to the land in alternation with neighbour, making it easy to fill a pond or natural swimming pool even without electricity.
There are hundreds of native trees, mostly oaks, pines, laurel and chestnut, and fruit trees, mostly cherry and plum. Some are recovering from the 2017 fire others sprouted.
Electricity and mains water are less than 50m away but you might wanna opt for solar and pico hydro.
You will also get a 1270m2 piece of land nearby that you can sell if not interested.

THE REGION
One of the mildest climates in Europe. It's not so hot in the Summer as most of Italy and Spain and even part of France, but also not so cold in the winter. You can grow food all year.
IC6 main road is projected to have an access nearby, but it won't be too close to the land as you'll be able to verify.
A very safe region in a country ranked 3rd in the Global Peace Index.
Many people from different countries and walks of life came to live and on holidays in the borough and region. Some have opened businesses. Less than 5km away there is a typical restaurant and a new charming restaurant/bar.
Less than 10km away there is an Indian restaurant.
In Tábua there are more than 10 cafes (more than 30 in the borough) some of which serve meals, 7 restaurants and 2 pizzerias, 2 whole food shops, 4 grocery shops and 4 larger supermarkets like Lidl among other grocery stores.
Other towns and cities less than 20 miles away have similar number of amenities.
