Riverside Sanctuary Where History, Nature & Tranquillity Meet Nestled in the peaceful village of Torre, near the Marateca Reservoir, this exceptional riverside retreat offers a rare opportunity to own one of central Portugal’s most enchanting hidden sanctuaries. Set alongside the crystal-clear waters of the Orcreza River, with the magnificent Gardunha Mountains providing a spectacular backdrop, this remarkable property is a place where history, nature, and serenity exist in perfect harmony. Rich in character and believed to contain ancient markings dating back to the 13th century, the estate centres around two beautifully restored granite buildings: an original water mill, thoughtfully converted into a unique cottage, and a charming traditional stone cottage. Together, they create an idyllic mountain escape unlike any other. Positioned higher on the land, the restored stone cottage has been transformed into a delightful studio retreat, offering a comfortable bedroom, kitchenette, and captivating views across the river valley and surrounding countryside. Peaceful, intimate, and immersed in nature, it provides the perfect hideaway for guests, artists, or anyone seeking complete tranquillity. The converted water mill blends rustic authenticity with modern comfort. Inside, an elevated sleeping area, functional storage, and an open-plan kitchen and living space create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Doors open onto a balcony overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Orcreza River and its enchanting cascading waterfalls, where the soothing sound of flowing water creates an idyllic setting for morning coffee, quiet reflection, or evenings spent immersed in nature. Both cottages share a beautifully designed outdoor bathroom that embraces the surrounding landscape. Featuring a composting toilet, a refreshing natural cascading waterfall shower, and a granite soaking tub nestled among the rocks, it offers an unforgettable bathing experience immersed in nature. Set within approximately 6,000m² of private land, the property is dotted with mature pine trees, fruit trees, granite outcrops, and open grassland. The constant melody of the cascading Orcreza River creates an atmosphere of complete peace and tranquillity, while shaded woodland and open spaces provide privacy and a deep connection with the surrounding landscape. Designed for those who embrace outdoor living, the property offers a collection of enchanting spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Enjoy long alfresco lunches beneath the trees, share a bottle of local wine, or simply savour a cold beer while listening to the gentle flow of the river. Whether dining outdoors, reading beside the water’s edge, or unwinding after a day exploring the mountains, every corner of the property invites you to slow down and appreciate its extraordinary natural beauty. Ideal as a private residence, holiday home, artist’s retreat, or boutique eco-tourism escape, this is a property that offers a lifestyle as unique as its setting. More than just a property, this is a remarkable riverside residence where history, nature, and thoughtful restoration come together to create a truly unique place to live, relax, and reconnect. A rare opportunity to own one of Portugal’s most magical and unforgettable riverside escapes. #ref:CAS_509
