Farmhouse & Stone House Restoration in Portugal

Restoring an authentic quinta or old stone house in Central Portugal is a dream for many. The Beira Interior is full of abandoned farmhouses, historic town houses, and derelict quintas waiting for a new owner with vision. GerardusKoetje has extensive experience with the restoration of these special properties and knows exactly what is involved. Restoring a historic property is fundamentally different from a standard renovation. Traditional building techniques, authentic materials such as local limestone and reclaimed timber, and special permit requirements for listed buildings — it is a specialised discipline. We work with craftsmen who master traditional Portuguese building methods and combine these with modern installations where needed. Buying and renovating a ruin in Portugal can be an excellent investment, but costs and timelines are often higher than expected. Our renovation assessment gives you a realistic picture of what the project will cost and how long it will take, before you commit to a purchase.
